I am not preganant and I have no intention of having any more children. But I heard this today and think it is very nice.

So there.

Kenneth and Mint Cake. That's all I have to say.

It's my brother's name.

Heated · 17/05/2008 21:30

He hates it. Complicated family reasons why he was given it.

NN at school was Mintcake

Nothing wrong with a bit of Kendal's mint cake.

Yes, it's nice for a boy too...

This is the first time I've started a baby names thread. Good innit?

Yep, it's all about the mint cake.

It's a very suburban American child-of-soccer-mum girl's name in the US.

Therefore I'd probably name my daughter Medea before Kendal.

One of the male HCA's on my mums ward is Kendal.

there is a kendal in dd2's room at nursery and when I finally saw her I just thought it didn't sit right with her

does that make any sense?
