Please don't come on mumsnet and say you've heard someone shouting either
"Archimedes!" or "Isambard!" cos it's what DH and I shout after DS (he answers to them and thinks it's funny too)

It's a fabulously OTT name isn't it? Reminds me of Dynasty too.
She could only work in the media with a name like that.

Are you sure she wasn't shouting Fallen by mistake?

Goodness, it is a bit close to Felon isn't it, that's a bit unfortunate.

I love Fallon! The name...don't really know what Dynasty is (apart from a soap once? never seen it)

today we met a Huckleberry!!!!
Funny as my ds2 is called Finn...
We were going round introducing and it went
Toby, Katy, Charlie, huckleberry, Finn and pearl!

but poppycake and Liffey the OP IS American (I'm assuming based on "mom" in subject title) and she thinks it's weird! So, don't blame us for all the strange names! I'd much rather have a Fallon than a Mungo!

PuppyMonkeyNuts · 17/12/2008 16:39

Dynasty - now that's a good name.

LiffeyCanSpellGeansaiNollaig · 17/12/2008 16:45

iklboo that is so funny, you need to go and stand in the freezer aisle in Waitrose and say Isambard, do you want to try Taramasalata ??" I spluttered out my tea laughing at that one. I'm sure we'll see one in The Times births announcements before too long, now you've floated the idea, put it out there, well done!

lastboxoftampons, well spotted columbo! She must be American herself!

lastboxoftampons · 17/12/2008 17:10

Yes liffey I guess it takes one to know one!

festivedollyx · 17/12/2008 19:56

laughing at memory of Fallon being abducted by aliens. didnt she also go missing for years on end and end up in the Colbys? I used to watch dynasty with my mum when i was a kid. i think Fallon was played by emma samms.

I know a Fallon...think its ridiculous name. Have friends that gave their snake that name...more appropriate.

LynetteScavo · 18/12/2008 09:10

Last box.....I'd much rather have a Mungo than a Fallon!

I'm loving Huckleberry!

This morning when we got to school DS2 said "Hello Rhodes" to a little boy.

I immediately presumed he was conceived on holiday.

Botbot · 18/12/2008 09:11

I think Fallon in the Archers is meant to be named after Fallon in Dynasty - she was born in 1985 (and her mother is a country and western singer.)

wombleprincess · 18/12/2008 20:27

its also and archers charachter. i dont think its that bad actually
