Any towns or villages near you that would make a nice name?

[LiffeySaysNollaigShona]

The Harlow thread got me thinking. It's not the idea of using a town as a name that I don't like, it's that it's the same two towns used. Harlow and Camden!

I'm going to start with Kinvara, a place in Galway. I think that'd make a nice name.

Anybody else?

there is a village near to my parents house (where I grew up) called Bethany

I love that name

hmmm thinking here

Peckham (hammy for short)
Brixton (ton for short)
Camberwell (Cam for short)
Elephant and Castle (Elle or Cas for short so for a girl)
Kennington (kenny for short)

My favourite place name near here is Farleigh Wallop but I am not sure that makes a good name (for a boy obviously - can't see it as a girl's name at all)

I knew a Warwick and an Essex - not sure about calling a child after a whole county though.

But my favourite poncetastic girl's name has to be Giverny - Monet's garden. I would have seriously considered it, had I had a girl but DH just laughed!

sorry for my rather funny immature posting i am in a silly happy mood

Cholmondeley

pronounced "Chumley"

lovely.

Carlton Colville .

Royston Vaysey is Chubby Brown's real name.

How about after a street "Slut Well Lane"?

Bikerunski - I think by your suggestions that you live very near me! Have you name changed and I know you

Ben Nevis? or Bonnie and Clyde for twins?

Blounce

Compo I name changed about 6 months ago. I used to be my initials, using my maiden name. DO you know me in real life?

six mile bottom

My middle name is a place in Jamaica where my dad used to live. Liquanae, I think I might be unique.

I used to live in Hope - geographically and metaphorically.

Think it was me who asked if I knew you Bikerunski It was the Shelley/Emley/Bretton suggestons that made me think you were in my very close neck of the woods Not that we have ever met in real life just wondered if you were a MN I chatted to with a new name!!

Oh Yesm FatZak, I remember you. And yes. You are very close to me - but I don;t think your village name would make a good baby name!

No you're right there (the F village I gather you mean!!)
Neither would Middlestown whose original name was Shitstown Nor Penistone I guess especially when pronounced Penis-tone as many people do!

Uttoxetor

You're not trying to do a Posh and Becks are you?

One of my top boys names is a city, I love it (as a name and the place) but the only problem is I went to the University of "city" so it might be a bit too weird...

Hartley Wintney
Yateley
Camberley
and maybe Hurst

rustybear! thanks for your message on the new look mumsnet. couldn't log in to reply for some reason.
anyway, hi!

Think you will have to log in with the name you were using at the time they 'borrowed' the test pages from (sometime in September iirc)
But it's only a test anyway, they may pull them any time.

don't worry, you just said hello.

Oh yes, just found it - it was your pathetic attempt at a flounce thread, wasn't it?
