Brioche is lovely. I'm stealing that for the next set of foster kittens.

Chevrolet
Tibia

Brioche is lovely.

I’ll be naming my first born chlamydia

Oneearringlost · 22/03/2025 18:59

Candida

GuppytheCat · 22/03/2025 18:59

You could have triplets, ohyesido, and call them Tibia, Fibula and Femur

Or Ulna. Has a sort of Scandi vibe.

Berlinlover · 22/03/2025 18:59

Labia

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 22/03/2025 18:59

Nausea

I was going to say chlamydia but I couldn't spell it and then @WaffleParty got there first.

Tibia would be really cute for a pet!

My mum claims she went to school with a Candida?

Elephant has a nice sound to it, or Gazelle.

DD is convinced there’s a boy in her nursery group called Tortoise, which has grown on me (I think he’s Thomas).

Microwave, ice cube and dehumidifier would all be at the top of my list

BlumminFreezin · 22/03/2025 19:07

Rubella is really pretty actually.

Although it truly does take some mental effort to disassociate the word from the meaning!

BlumminFreezin · 22/03/2025 19:09

Actually Ebola and Malaria are along the same lines as Rubella.

Triplet girls called Rubella, Malaria and Ebola 😍🤣

neonheart · 22/03/2025 19:09

@Differentstarts maybe pronounced Microwaveh like nigella

@BlumminFreezin yes it’s like Ruby and Ella merged together very pretty

My mum definitely had an older friend Candida, known as Candy. Would have been born approx 1935.
