Obi

[obiboy]

What do you think of Obi for a boy?

I really like it.

Oh, bless you, MrsMattie!

I've been trying to learn it bit by bit over the years and have also taught my white DS the odd phrase or two. I've also taught him all the telling-off words in our tribal language (they're the only ones I know says a lot about my childhood!). He also makes our Nigerian relatives fall about laughing, though he's a show-off by nature so he rather enjoys it!

My next door neighbour's little boy is called Kobi

Auto-response was ah, Obi Wan Kenobi, but having read the thread I think it is ok. I wouldn't go for the long Bible version of Obadiah, that sounds a bit much; but you might have to be prepared for a fair bit of stick, both for yourselves and him as he grows up.

Obadiah was the middle name of Sky Masterson from Guys and Dolls (played by Marlon Brando).

Still OTT in 2009, though!

Howdy, thumbwitch! Am considering keeping my Merry name permanently, what do you think?

I like it, I do! Have you given up on Monsieur Thierry then? now he's disappeared a bit?

Not sure, really - partly I think because it makes me sound like a sleb- worshipper. I'm far too sensible for that sort of thing. Having said that I've been wondering about changing to MrsGeorgeClooney but I think that names already taken!

ooh no, now see I've never been much of a fan of Georgie boy - Thierry is a much better class of dream-shag, imho. Although I'd take Johnny Depp any day of the week...

late Xmas pressie for ya

oooooo, he is just LUSH! (fully aware that word is probably Sooo nineties or something; haven't a clue what the current jargon would be )

Fanks! Tried to return the favour but the calendar website I am using doesn't have one for George!

Damn! What's the point of a calendar without George?!

JD does nothing for me either, so we're quits!

I also have an 'older man' thing (Thierry excepted) - maybe that's part of it as I'm sure can't be that much younger than Depp. Georgie, on the other hand, is suitably old-gittish for my liking...

Off to bed now (happy dreams). Night night! xxx

night night, MrsMH! sleep happy now!
