with the Baby Names threads?
Just call your baby what you like when it is born ... and then people can get used to calling your baby Tooty Frooty Smith or whatever as it is a done deal ....

But please stop listing names like:

Dante
Hector
Edith (Does anyone remember "'Allo 'Allo")
Blaise
Milton
BAYARD??? WTF?

I can't stand it anymore ....

lol..now people may snigger about my kids names...but with our first 2 he , as in dh,had real suggestions for names...didn't really ask that quesion by ds 3...ds 1 would have been Merlin and ds2 would have been Orion... if we had gone for his choice

my boys got of lightly

Ooooh I liked Merlin when I was pregnant first time (pregnancy hormones...?) and I do know someone called Orion.

ghosty · 28/08/2008 22:48

I know a little boy called Orion but it's ok because he is greek and it is totally acceptable. His little brother is called Sios.
If they were from Milton Keynes I wouldn't be so forgiving.

And, stillstillstanding - No one puts ghosty in the corner ....

And 'Orion' in Greek sounds much better than 'Orion' in English ...
Oor-e-on (with a slight emphasis on the Oor and a slight roll on the R)
Not Oh-ry-on IYSWIM?
