I met a boy at a toddler group this week called....

[2point4kids]

Tiger!

Quiet, meek little thing. Didnt quite live up to his name bless him

That actually made me feel really sad, poor boy .

There was a Tiger in dd's swimming class.

they won't know if it's a girl or a boy - like Tiger-Lily Paula Yates' daughetr

I haven't got over Basil, 3 yrs old, his older sister Fanny is in dd's swimming class.

Oh my, poor child!

For similar reasons I didn't call my daughter Grace - some people just don't 'fit' their names and names like Grace and Tiger seem particularly risky!

Dont feel sad! He might grow into it.
Tiger Woods may have been a quiet child too and now he lives up to his name eh!

i laughed at basil and fanny, i don't mind tiger though

For some reason I am quite liking Basil (not Fanny though!). I wouldnt use it myself, but it has a certain appeal!

Tiger Woods is Eldrick Tiger Woods.
Mmm, Eldrick or Tiger?
Think Tiger suits him better

mmm, for a little jokette, just tried to change my posting name to "Tigersmum" and it's already in use..

As for Basil and Fanny, these are German children and there appears to be a trend to use English/US names atm.
So with German pronunciation, Fanny is "Venny" and "Sam" is "Zem".
I had a bizarre conversation with dd about Sam where she kept insisting there's no Sam in her group, but there is a Zem...
As for Basil, I'm sorry, it was Fawlty Towers from the start. His mum kept shrieking "Baaaaasil!" and I kept biting my lip and sniggering and his mum probably thinks I'm barking.

I was about to type "I love Fanny" but I got a strange look (and saucy wink) from my husband !

DH wanted to call our son Shepherd if we had a boy. Thank god we had girls.

rofl @ TakeMeHome (Is that name taken from "Take Me Home Or Lose Me Forever"?)

Oh, poor boy.
I can't imagine it suiting an adult either - the embarrassment!

Poor bugger. Is it some sort of ironic nickname, do you think?

Husband and I were gleefully discussing the day our DD starts school and brings home her class list. We are looking forward to hours of sniggering after she's gone to bed at all the Tigers and the Tiiammiis in her class.

Tiger in dd's class. Lovely boy, lovely family. Strange at first, but not now, not at all really. He's super. Feel q offended on her behalf by this thread!
