Baby name threads - I'm such a fan!

[PuppyMonkey]

They are the most entertaining things on MN by far. I'm completely addicted. And I don't just take the piss either, I just love em.

Need to get out more....

My DS1 has a slightly unusual name. My DS2 has a very unusual name (in this country anyway). I love to lurk to see if either ever come up.

DS2s hasn't yet .

'preggers' pmsl

But see, that's where the problem lies, I think...

People give honest opinions, and others take it as 'mean'.

Sometimes people are looking for variations, checking spelling, gauging popularity, etc.

Imust say, that when someone just posts 'I like it, DP likes it, what do you think?' I just think 'FFS - if you both like it, don't worry what other people think'!!!

i would agree there teuch, if they do both agree then what is the point. Unfortunately, people like me have sods for partners who just want to be awkward and i need to arm myself with lots of people saying yes maybemaybee your names are great, his are rubbish

Yes, maybemaybee I agree. But I am taken aback a bit when I'm reading a post and someone says something along the lines of "You're stupid for naming your child that" Maybe I'm missing an inside joke or something, but there was a post that said something like 'There's millions. Get over yourself' when someone asked for a girl's name that didn't end in A or Y. I just thought what the hell's that about????

My new screen name is the name I would have called my dd if she'd been a boy and the name I would have called my ds if he'd been a girl. Got that?

That's how much I like names. I know it's weird, but it's a free hobby.

I lurk on these threads and find them incredibly entertaining too. I love when one of mine's name is mentioned as a favourite too, which isn't very often as they're not terribly common whilst not being unheard of.

Hormonal shmormonal. What an excuse! If you're that crazy you shouldn't be allowed to name a poor innocent child.

You need those of us who are no longer pregnant to set you straight.

And was the recent Cinderella thread genuine??

I admit to loving the baby name threads.

I either read and say 'ooh yes, lovely' to myself, or "NO WAY!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING???!!!!"

Some of the suggestions should go up in court as criminal offences.

Oh, there have been some classic baby name queries recently. I can never tell whether the OP is a normally reasonable human being rendered temporarily deranged by p/g hormones OR a normally daft person who happens to be p/g.

I didn't reply to the Cinderella one - I thought it was someone having fun!
I think that you should have a go at some to save the poor DC from being lumbered with the name!

By the way, I really like Zanzibar....

I love baby name threads but always give an honest opinion - either aw, lovely or urgh yeuch - people don't seem to like hearing the latter
