Cannot decide between Desiree and Jezabel

[Piffle]

BTW this was today in the supermarket, a lady I know from dd's old nursery - quite boho and alternative.

She asked if I preferred Jezabel or Desiree and in which order.
I said they sounded a bit much together and could she not just call her expected dd
Jeziree
or Dezabel

She was dead chuffed and said she liked
Dezabel

Am praying that child is a boy I guess

Dear god no I hope she was joking!!

Both names are pretty awful, and the amalgamation is even worse!

hahahaha thats the funniest thing I've heard all day. Lets hope its a boy.

Roffle.

If there's anything to nominitive determinism he will be a very loud child. Buy her earplugs as a birth present.

this does happen occasionally

'We've chosen T'Kei-Jordan for a boy, or Alice for a girl'

and you hope against hope...

Yes, Dezabel is a brilliant name!!

'he will be'

please add an 's' in there

Poor kid -they get to be named after a hussy or a potato, what a choice!

I think the amalgation is better than Jezabel, at least it doesn't have the same connotations!

yes, my sis decided on Troy for DC2 (thank God it was a girl)

'Troy' reminds me - first class joke on HIGNFY t'other night.

Boris Johnson believes teaching classics will reduce knife crime.

Paul Merton: Et tu, Brute?

and what makes you think that Dezabel is off the table for a boy

Dh knew someone called Desiree Skinner, which is a great combo

was giggling judgementally to a mutual friend about it. She reckoned Twas not Desiree but Des Rai
goodness me...

Do people seriously think Jezebel is an option? No matter how 'boho and alternative' , thats plain cruel.

Does she even know that jezebel means prostitute? probably not.

I actually met a Toddler called Jezabel last year - or at least it was pronounced Jezabel, could have been Jessie-Belle or somesuch I suppose. Maybe there's a trend there?

I had a doll called Jezebel when I was little. My uncle suggested her name as a joke and I, at 2 thought it was a lovely name. Didn't find out the meaning till I was in my teens!

Hahahahahaha

I had emerald green mascara aged 14 called jezabel...
