has anyone ever told you their dearest newborns name and you've had to choke back a giggle?

[peacelily]

prob offend some people this but can't please everyone.

For me it was when uber competitive Mum at baby massage introduced me to Hubert.

Apols to any mummies of Huberts out there

My cousin announced that she was calling her daughter "Storm" ...I think it is ridiculous!

must say...possibly it was when I heard the name Harley- Lee...now individual I like them, and if used as first and middlename...who would know any better, but it is hyphenated ( that is what it is called right)....that made it a bit odd...but lovely kid and lovely mom...so, well you just get used to it, right

Not along the lines of the post exactly but this made me giggle...after first dd was born I went up to the maternity ward fullof mus to be and new mums. There was a mum to be opposite waiting for c-section next morning. Anyway I heard her say to her dp..so we definately calling her Honey if it's a girl..right?...Anyway over night my newborn obviously wasn't quiet so I kept having to get up and was naturally talking to her and it came automatically I said things like. "aahhr what's wrong honey " "mummy's here honey etc...anyway next morning when her dp arrived she said I'm not sure about Honey anymore...oops...she probably forgot people use it as a term or endearment anyway or maybe she thought I had named my dd Honey too.

my cousin has a daughter called Star????????? and a son called Sasha????????

apparently we would all be jealous when "star" became a model mmmmmmmm

There is a little boy in ds2's gymnastics class named....Labe

I kid you not

Oh, and just remembered meeting a teenage boy called "conception"

I know of a family with 2 toddlers called Jean and Bernard. I really had to stifle a chuckle at that one.

I have met babies called:

Chardonnay - so cool with a south east accent.

DJ (a girl)

Destiny-something (not saying in case her Mum is here).

Shirley (still making the odd appearance)

all during my midwifery years.

However, I can't talk as DS has the name Sheppard as a middle name - old family name.

A friend of a friend called their baby son Rover

A student where I worked was called Tia Maria. Yes, after the drink!

Buster. Took my breath away.

Enzo. The Daddy drives a porsche and wears a t shirt saying "Who's the daddy?" [vom emoticon]

Tennessee.

Wouldn't be quite so bad if there wasn't a 'Tennessee Fried Chicken' in town!

Sasha is Russian It is the shortened form of "Alexander". So yes, a boy's name.

lol i still think sasha is an odd name for a boy....imo.

Sasha is one of the commonest boy's names in Russia, it's like being called James or Chris or something.. short for Alexander.

I've always thought of Sasha as a boy's name. I'd expect a Sasha to be a boy

ladyr post your children's names on here so we can all laugh then... my DD's middle name is Storm and I don't find it remotely ridiculous thank you.

What I find ridiculous is when people pick the number one name, especially when it's been the same for a number of years. A name is meant to identify you. How can it do that when there are 5 other kids in your class with the same name?

IN germany Sascha (pronounced Sasha) is more commonly known as a boys names....only once moving to the UK did I realsie that it could be a girlsname...!

Actually there is a boy in ys sons class, who is eastern european, so, it is obvioulsy a name in that culture that is totally acceptable...but he is called Gleb and I can't help but thing of Phlegm...don't know why it makes me think of Phlegm, though....it just does...

I do know somebody who has a "brock" and a "braden". Rather unusual but you sort of get used to it.

Popsy, on the other hand, will never grow on me.

Oh I remember a Brock in the eighties soap "Santa Barbara"

Oh I remember a Brock in the eighties soap "Santa Barbara" I wonder if there wasn' a B

Braden as well?

Sorry, I really do not know what happened
