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

Norbert Bloody Teeth. He is sounding more like a 13th Century Austrian Prince all the time.

ahem Austo-Hungarian Prince. Or maybe not even that, perhaps Prussian?

Slubber -can I be some sort of honorary fantasy Godfather/mother for your fantasy DS please?

I'll get him a lifetimes membership for all the worlds major hauliers as a Christening present.

....and I'll get ND and ES logos embroidered on all his babygros

Norbert you are so IN as Godmother to fantasy ds1. Service will be held at Tebay Southbound Services, on the M6.

Tebay southbound services are FAB

as are Tebay north tbf

great food, and ducks for DD

I'm welling up....I'm so touched Slubber.

Of course they are Norma. You don't think I'm going to have petit Norbert Christened in any old Moto do you?

hehe
I just googled eddie stobart names list and this thread is on the first page.

If its a boy you just call it Eddie then?

Eddie, Willie or Norbert. Its a pin choice.

I passed 2 ES trucks this afternoon! Was shooting past the first one too quickly to note the name (wasn't entirely sure whereabouts I was supposed to be looking), but I slowed down alongside the second to be sure of spotting it.

So ladies, I give you......

Amber Jade.

We always play 'guess the name' as we approach a ES lorry, and the closest wins (I say closest, once one of us got a name that started with the same letter, that's the closest it's ever been)

Ok, my next DD's will be callled....

Evie Rose, and Lesley Lynette

from the M6 near B'ham.

I met someone recently who came up with an equally novel way of choosing a name for a boy. She and DH got a selection of sausages and named their DS after the one they liked most.

So what did they name him?

Oh I couldn't reveal the name. She might go on MN. But it was a British sausage.

I know someone who has a child called Lawrence David, I see many lorries with this name.

I got DH to do the google version and if we ever had another girl it would be Catrin Meleri. I think it means we should have another baby as I really could live with that. It would fit with our other names well too.

Cannot think of a type of sausage that you could name a boy. Are they not all named after counties and the like.

I'm sure I read somewhere that William Hague got an Eddie Stobart truck named after Ffion - I always look out for that one...

Yes, they are all named after counties and the like. And so is this child.

I saw a Victoria Lousie on and ES lorry the other week.

Is there a boy method at all...or do you jsut go by the name plates in the front window.....BIG DAVE

Yes! I have finally spotted an Eddie with a proper cab and got a name,if anyone wants it:

Emilia Charlotte

ooh Emilia Charlotte is fab, I like it!

I met a woman at a wedding once and her new baby was called Eddie. She said she'd named him after Eddie Stobart lorries on the motorway which at the time I thought was really weird (and quite honestly I thought she had probably gone a bit mad)!
Aha - But now I see where she was coming from............must drive on motorways more.........
