The Eddie Stobart Method (for girls)

[Slubberdegullion]

I have struck upon a rich seam indeed.

Struggling to find the perfect name for your daughter?

Torn between traditional or unusual?

Tearing your hair out on the mn baby name threads?

Use the Eddie Sobart Method.

Get in car.

Drive on motorway.

Come alongside Eddie Stobart lorry.

Read name of lorry on front (R) hand corner (just in front of drivers door, near the bumper).

There you go.

You cannot back out when you have seen your name. The method is all about chance and living on the edge.

For those of you who do not drive, or are not living in the UK, or do not like motorways, or trucks, I have come up with the variant MN Eddie Stobart Method.

Helpful mners will post on this here thread the name they have just spotted on their most recent journey.

To get the ball rolling I give you

Shona

Oh my giddy Aunt -its a Saturday night and what do I find myself doing? Googling images of NorbertDentressangle trucks to see if they have names on .

lolol

well do they Norbert?

Ooooh yes!

I had a Mini called Myrtle and would be delighted to pass the name on to a deserving MNetter's baby.

(and yes to good hols )

Myrtle is good (but does not exactly confirm to the true ESM).

Norbert is better. If I had a son I would call him Norbert with middle name Dentressangle for good measure.

Oh I am being summoned to bed

lol @ KnockOffNorbert.

re:googling, I gave up when I realised how sad it was but no, couldn't find any pictures that were close up enough to tell.

Alternative for those who cannot drive.

select www.google.co.uk

Put in the search term "eddie stobart"

Don't click on search.

Above the google text box click on "Images" instead. Then click on the button "Search images"

Throw two dice. If you have two even or two odd numbers add the numbers together. If you have an odd and an even number subtract the smaller number from the larger number. Let this number be X.

Now look at the images that Google has brought up for you. Going from left to right as if reading a book count until you have picked the picture.

Your daughter will have the name of the vechicle you have selected. If no name is visable or its a picture of Eddie Stobart then your daughter is to be called Edwina..

I think that once they are all ticked off you enter a higher state, a Stobart Nirvana if you will

Love this thread,
Love those Norbert Dentressangle trucks keep seeing them, had no idea they were the French Eddies

LOL@this thread!

ReallyTired, you are indeed a genius. A huge google knowing, dice tossing, number fandango genius.

Using your Google Variant on the ESM my next dd will be called Bernice, which I actually rather like.

Just discovered my dd does in fact have a memorable eddie stobart name so if I ever do have another I may just have to use the Stobart method.

I think it's the way to go Bronze. It may bring back a resurgence (can you bring back a resurgence? I think not. Is resurgence spelt correctly? Unlikely)

where was I......

oh yes

restart a wave of double barrelled first names and possibly in 20 years time herald the advent of a British female Country and Western musical explosion, the likes of which we have never seen before.

A friend of mine married a bloke called Norbert.

MI, was he a giant of a man, with huge sexy man hands? I'm also hoping he was in some terrifyingly impressive academic profession, researching prions in metiorites or something. With his giant man hands.

If you could lie and make something up that would be great. I really do like the name Norbert a lot atm

He was a pilot. Really and truly.

oooh a pilot [nice]

A pilot of a jump jet or concorde or a spitfire please. Not a Monarch Airlines pilot I hope.

I pass their depot(well one of them)several times a week, so I could sneek in for you all and give you a few names then you could stick a pin in the list to make your ES name choice.

Thank you solo. To be true to the Method the use of the pin is paramount. The whole thing centres on the topsy turvy world of chance alongside the naming qualities of a national logistics company.

I have to admit, I couldn't do this to any of my Dc's.

oh . That's not really the Everest Spirit I was hoping to see on this thread.

Sorry! but I'll make a note of any I see for all you ladies. Is that ok?
If it's any consolation at all...I wont have any more babies to name anyway.

Ha Ha this has to be the best method of naming a child.

You could also do the same with busses naming the child the busses final destination - would love to meet Mr sorry not in service Jones

hmmm well, so long as you make a contribution that's alright.

I didn't want any more babies until yesterday. Now I need to have a Norbert Dentressangle and a Bernice before I call a halt on my reproduction days.
