Honest answers please, I heard this recently (not sure if it is acutally a name) and I really liked it, it sounds quite poetic?

Boy or girl?

crokky · 31/12/2008 15:34

It sounds like the horse sedative (ketamine?). Sorry, don't mean to be rude.

harleyd · 31/12/2008 15:34

maybe as a middle name?

Tinker · 31/12/2008 15:34

Sounds like a vitamin

OrmIrian · 31/12/2008 15:34

I've always liked Maruarnah. Sound ever so pretty? And that spelling is much nicer.

S1ur · 31/12/2008 15:34

haha

yes, lovely name.

special k for short?

foxytocin · 31/12/2008 15:35

ditto crokky

WhenFRUITYgotstuckupthechimney · 31/12/2008 15:35

Well when baby's good you could call him/her Special K

piscesmoon · 31/12/2008 15:35

That was my immediate thought crokky.

OrmIrian · 31/12/2008 15:35

You could feminise Ketamine too if you needed to. Ketamina.

Kristingle · 31/12/2008 15:36

sounds like a drug ( medicine)

as in " Oh my eczema is bad, must pick up soem ketamine cream"

S1ur · 31/12/2008 15:36

ahh sweet!

PlonkerAlkaseltzerInMyGlass · 31/12/2008 15:36

Isn't it a drug?

S1ur · 31/12/2008 15:36

I quite like Roofie for a girl

WhenFRUITYgotstuckupthechimney · 31/12/2008 15:36

VinoEsmeralda · 31/12/2008 15:36

S1ur · 31/12/2008 15:37

Charlie could be for anyone surely?

NorthernLurker · 31/12/2008 15:37

Oooh - unusual - but how will you sound shouting it in the supermarket?

SoupDragon · 31/12/2008 15:38

that rather depends on where the supermarket is I think

drug

S1ur · 31/12/2008 15:38

She'll be shouting.

"Ketamine? Ketamine? where is my lovely ketamine?"

Just before the authorities are called.

tvfriend · 31/12/2008 15:38

It's a horse tranqulizer- which is also taken by people as a drug.
I think you would get a lot of funny looks if you called a baby that- sorry

SheWillBeLoved · 31/12/2008 15:39

Think it's awful, sorry. I can't say i'd want my child named after a drug..? Not a pretty sounding one either.
