Reefer? How odd

are you sure she's not having you on?

Thought you were going to say "spliff" for a girl

Reefer?

(howling with laughter)

Puff puff pass...

Reefer!! Do you think someone should tell her?

fgs everyone leave the poor pg women alone

they can call their kids what they like

you boring cows

Reefer Madness

Salsie's kind of cool though... (unless it means something weird)

as in the Grim Reefer?

are you sure she didn't say Salsa?

And Reef would actually be a great name... just not Reefer.

DId we say she can't call her children that?

Message withdrawn

is she dyslexic possibly?
did she mean kelsey and kiefer?
< hopeful>
still dodgy but at least heard of... And not slang for doobies

she is doing it to shut you up

her real names are Jack and Emily

Did she mean Selasie? That would go well with Reefer

My dear old Dad rang up a while back and announced they'd decided to call the new puppy Beaver.

We had to tell him.

no her real names are Ralph and Dorothy, surely

(my folks called their cat Lickie Wah Wah cos he couldn't miaow properly. I NEVER shouted that damn cat in)

lol at fiodyl

tell her to get a grip and refuse to make her any more cups of tea until she comes to her senses

I think you have to tell her what Reefer means. Maybe she's only heard of the jacket. She must know! Say, 'what like dope or weed?' and see how she takes it.

She might be winding you up - we told people Chlamydia Sasparilla for a girl and Isambard Ira Benvolio Ozymandius (sp) for a boy

(someone did believe the Chlamydia one)

I like 'em. But then, my own boys name choice causes tumbleweed effect too.

Should have shut up til the baby comes - then people don't really seem to care as much.
