Pendle?

[pippylongstockings]

Help...
What do I say some friends have just named their baby PENDLE.

Gosh. That's er different.

"Oh, that's lovely."

What else could you say (to their face)?

"Is it a family name?"

Did you say Pendle??

Oh my!

Don't suppose it really matters, but is it a boy or a girl?

How could you ?

I am gutted

Arse forgot my

it's a town in cumbria. Strange choice.

You don't. You comment on everything else but!

Or if forced into a corner, smile brightly and say sagely, "Well, you've got to choose a name you love."

But it is god awful

Aren't there witches on Pendle Hill??

maybe they are related to the pendle witches

They must be massive Jilly Cooper fans... oh gosh, I think it's from Prudence?

He's a boy - if that helps at all or makes it worse ??

I remember as a teenager, reading a Jilly Cooper romance which had one of the dashing heroes as being a chap by the name of Pendle...perhaps your friend has the same shocking taste in literature

pendle mulholland. which was the one she ended up with?

Ace? Not sure that was his real name...they were nicknamed after pack of cards

If only men like that existed in RL

Oh dear.
Makes me think of the Pendle witches too.

My mum used to live near Pendle Hill were the witches were suppossed to meet.

No? he has a brother called Ace in the book - some other friends of ours have a son called Ace!!

Time to make some new friends......

Must read the book tho'

Gosh! Um, will you definitely have to offer a verbal response?

Penfold would be better...

It sounds like something a Victorian shoe maker would use.

Ace Mulholland was pretty... ace, but I always preferred louche brother Jack. Pendle, on the other hand, was horrid... emotionally cold and in love with his ex!
Read the book - it's fab!
And yeah, change your friends!

Or even Dangermouse.
