[periselene]

Boys Monty Colin Humperdink Reynaldo Junior Girls
Ellie
Millie
Molly
Lily
Polly

What are yours?

[scottishmummy]

unlike you i dont care what another parent names their child.nor would i start a thread sniggering about real names

lame attempt at being purposefully contentious

smacks of trying too hard

[ElfOnTheTopShelf]

I like Lily.
But we named DD Evelyn rather than Evie so in my mind, it would make sense to use Lilian rather than Lily, but then that opens up the whole naming after grandparents in my family, and we'd get shouts of why didn't we use Margaret, or Bette, or Mavis, so we steer clear of Lily/Lillian (which is odd, as Lilian is actually Josephine, but thats another story)

I have plenty of names I like but cannot use due to pet association in the family, such as Jessie, Poppy etc.

scottishmummy why are you always so aggressive, if you don't like a thread bloody bog off

[periselene]

Very lame. Well done for spotting it, and thank you for pointing it out. I shall think about what you have said.
Thanks again.

Don't worry Sophia - it's just SM's opinions and she's perfectly entitled to have them and voice them. As I do.

Really like Gerald and Hector and that is despite being the generation that watched "Hector's House". Wouldn't use Clarence but think Clary is kind of cool.

Remember thinking the same as bethoo but I chose the DSs' names because I liked them and didn't care what anyone else said. Mind you, still hankering after Henry and Ruth.

Periselene, your second day her, what a nice and thoughtful thread you have started.

Trip trap little troll!

[Isabellasmam]

Little bit unrelated but SIL is a nurse and actually had a patient called Siobhan, but the parents pronounced it like you spell it. I also went to uni with a medical student who treated a baby girl called chlamydia.

[scottishmummy]

SJ you are inviting me to "bloody bog off" to demonstrate that you're not aggressive. ironic heh

Kettle
pot
black

go figure

and Nope think i will be hanging a wee bitty longer.

i like the ambience
i like you SJ

[periselene]

Not sure what a troll is, but I hope I am not one. Unless it is someone who ought to think before she posts, in which case I fear you are right.

[sophiajane]

just don't see the point in posting so heatedly to say you don't like a thread {shrugs]

you could have an argument with a goldfish SMummy

[sophiajane]

Sadly one of my least favourite names is my own daughter's - Scarlett...

Loved it 6 years ago but really regret it now and it's become really overused in my area. Tend to just use her nickname now

[QuintessentialShadow]

sophiajane calls herself a goldfish, lol lol!

Thanks for really bad trolling pariselene, you gave me a laugh, sadly you may not have upset as many as you intended.

M aleena( Someone I know called her kid this because it sounded nice. It is the medical term for bloody shit)

Urban legend in the USA about twin boys named orAngejello and lemONjello

Knew a kid called Thorne at school

[G2B]

I fear that when people get going and actually list names, my DS's name might appear someone listed it as an awful name on MN the other week, and I LOVE it.

[bethoo]

G2B think it may be the same name our ds share!

[scottishmummy]

indeed you seem to wish to keep things going SJ.pipe down.you protest about me too much

maybe it is actual admiration that you just fear manifesting so you deny/repress and stamp your feet in a churlish mannner yakking about goldfish

when what you are really thinking is
I likey that Ssottishmummy i do

i await your animal related denial

[G2B]

Bethoo- Oh Good, you must love it too then!! We obviously share fabulous taste in names.

Ruby- I would never use my DP's ex's names either. There's 3 who's names I know.

1 is a chavvy name
1 is an old lady name
and 1 is a really nice name

[sophiajane]

Vian - never heard of salmon, that's really horrible
