Genuinely considering Cinderella

[muffinmaclay]

my 2 dd's love the disney princesses - am I suffering from over-exposure do you think? as the name Cinderella now seems quite an acceptable option for a girl - shortened to Cindy or Ella.

LMAO at "step away from the disney dvds"

Are you also considering Rapunzel? And wasn't cinderella's real name Grizella?

It will make the name tapes a little long and the teachers who have to write it on the books won't thank you much, but no apart from thse two incredibly important reasonsI can't think of a single objection.

so thats two reccomendations for a darkened room....

what is going on today?!

stop it people!

Robinpud - i always thought her name was Ella but her sisters added on the 'Cinder' bit because she lived amongst the cinders. Could be wrong though ...

oops! Sorry controlfreaky, it was clearly so good it had to be said again.

me too, bluenose.

l;ol if you are you are bonkers

yep ella or stella

When the girl had done her work, she sat in the cinders, which caused her to be called "Cinderella". The poor girl bore it patiently, but dared not tell her father, who would have scolded her; for his wife controlled him entirely.

from wikipeda

bluenose I believe you're right

lol I've just looked it up as well. Now Cendrine is nice. Is usually spelt Sandrine

Or you could hope for twins and call them

Sam and Ella and watch them clear a room in minutes.

bree I considered Rhea for dd2 until I realised Ella & Rhea sounded a bit to much like having a dodgy tum

I do actually have a very good friend called Cinderella (universally known as Cindy). She's Filipina and they seem to have a bit of a gift for bizarre names. There used to be a finance reporter in one of the Asian papers called Baby Girlie Barbie.

LGJ, I know a family with a Sam 'n' Ella

(Not twins, and both over 20 now, but still good for a laff)

I'm not a fan, but Wendy was a made up name and nobody sneers at that anymore, so...

Lucinda then she can be Cinders to you.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,

You are shitting us. Surely?

I'd just like to point out that I do regularly shout "Tinker Belle" across Tesco!

Never mind Cinderella - I had to do a double take at your name then. Are you new to MN? You do know there's a poster called MuffinMcClay, who you are going to get muddled up with a lot?!

pullin' mi pissflaps there

If you're hell bent on Disney why not Giselle? Not my cup of tea but a damn sight better than Cinderella..

Or maybe Bambi?

Not forgetting what your others dds would become.... The Ugly Sisters

It's a well rubbish name. sorry. The world's gone mad

Buttons for a boy

Are you crazy? If you have twins will they be Minnie and Mickey?
