Candida?

[Scuff]

I like Chlamydia boom boom

Actually I used to know a Candida and I think it's rather gracious and airy.

canestan sprang to mind

lovely candida anigav

It means thrush. Exactly what you don't want when you're a teenage girl.

It means "white" in Latin.

It'd be a nice name, if it wasn't for the whole thrush thing...

The keyboard player in Pulp was called Candida.

You got there first UQD. Thats who I thought of.

Thought we might call our dd2 Mirena cos it was that failure that caused her to be ...

Mirena Candida?

Mirena Chlamydia?

Mirena Ciprofloxacin? (I had to take it a lot when pg for kidney infections? Too health conscious perhaps???)

btw she is 4 and has a name!!

history of candida
my Latin dictionary has some lovely meanings for candidus/a - shining white, beautiful, brilliant, dazzling. Shame about the fungus nicking the name! There even appears to be a Saint Candida.. ironic really

Sounds a bit yeasty to me...

no no no

Oh no! Google it, and you get pages of treatment options.

No no no don't call your precious DD after a yeast that causes thrush

You could go the whole hog and give her the proper latin Candida albicans

Candida Doyle

in Pulp

And her sister, Cystitis

Candice is nice

Candida Crewe, author and recovering anorexic/bulimic.

Candida Lycett Green - daughter of former poet laureate John Betjemen

How about Hernia or Gonorrhea -just open your medical dictionary for further inspiration. Lots of popular ailments sound like Shakespearian princesses.

HIDEOUS. I can't believe some poor women really have this name.

Claudia?

Just makes me think of thrush, and not the bird variety.
