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

My first sighting: Janice Kirsty. Am so proud!

[hatwoman]

oh my lord I so need to go on a long motorway journey. now. always spotted ES and ND trucks but never knew about the names.

I have a teddy bear called Wallace Arnold, after the coach company.

[Slubberdegullion]

hatwoman, we have yet to establish if Norbert tucks do indeed have names. If they do we have a huge new pool of French names to use.

Oh the joy of finding this thread! Saw an Ediie Stobart parked up yesterday but was going too fast to read the name

I'm boggling at the what the sausage child could possibly be called.

[Madlentileater]

I thought we were women on here?

[Slubberdegullion]

in what respect lentileater?

[Madlentileater]

in respect of keeping lists of lorries...
not a properly female occupation imho.

[NorbertDentressangle]

who are you calling "not properly female"?

[Slubberdegullion]

If it helps a bewildered and bewuthered mner name her dd then it should be our duty and our joy to observe, note and report.


sheesh

[Kbear]

We saw Ellie Victoria on the M6 last week!

[Kbear]

and PMSL at this thread!!!

[edam]

what about supermarket shopping lists, then lentil? Are they 'properly female' by virtue of being about sausages and washing up liquid?

[edam]

(basically, don't rain on my parade woman, I've spotted my first Stobart girl's name and am feeling oddly pleased with myself!)

[Slubberdegullion]

You go edam. Nice spotting.

[frazzledoldbag34]

He must be called 'Cumberland'???
(sorry, am worrying now about the sausage child)

Couldn't possibly be 'Chipolata" could it?
or 'Pork' [giggles like a small child] or worse 'Pork and Beef"????

or 'Banger'? Surely that would be cruel????
'Saveloy' is my only other suggestion (just been on Wikipedia but no other remotely sensible suggestions)
Sorry very silly , must go to bed


Anyway Eddie Stobart lorries rock.

[NorbertDentressangle]

The sausage child is worrying me too.

All I can think of is:

Lincolnshire

Cocktail

Gloucester Old Spot

(I hope not, for the poor childs sake)

[ScummyMummy]

ace thread,

is the sausage kid called Cumberland? Banger? Walls? Mergez? Chorizo? Link? Lorne?

[ScummyMummy]

x post

lolololol @ Saveloy

[NorbertDentressangle]

Its after a British sausage apparently ScummyMummy

[1dilemma]

Does the real Eddie know about this thread?

[Slubberdegullion]

Welsh Dragon? (our current sausage of choice)

[Madlentileater]

shopping lists propery female, functional, useful etc...
lists relating to modes of transport kept for private amusement....
terminally male.
But you might convince me they are functional, if kept ONLY for the purposes of baby naming.
Then (grudgingly) acceptable for laydeeez

[Slubberdegullion]

dilemma, well if he googles himself we are on page 3

[frazzledoldbag34]

Ugh, just been googling for sausages (yes, well my DH is out and I can't be bothered walking upstairs to bed) and I've just found (and I'm not kidding)
'Kangeroo and Tomato' sausages!!!!

Oh my, who would buy such a thing?

No others that could be remotely used for a baby name tho. Must be Cumberland I reckon.

(or I did see another type called Scrumpy Jack and Pork sausages - maybe they just had those and called him Jack?) Not quite so remarkable but much kinder than 'Chipolata'.

[ScummyMummy]

sorry norbert... forgot myself and went outwith the uk

Can't be Toulouse either then and that's actually quite a nice artistlike sausagey name.
