What an awful name!!

[cilitbang]

I've just received a text to tell me that a friend (of sorts!) has called her poor baby Sloane Anais....WTF??? Am I missing something here or does everyone else agree this is just awful?

What name have u picked paolosgirl? We're torn for a girls name.

KELLY HONEY!!!

Seriously though, I think you just have to go with what you and your dh/dp like. I'm a real fan of traditional first names and more outlandish middle names, so that they have an alternative if they want. My favourite name at the moment is Flora - but wee doubts with that as well because of the margarine!

like flora too but kelly hunny wins.

DON'T FORGET THE CAPS LOCK

I do like the name Honey and yes I think it prob is best as a middle name.

bum yes.KELLY HONEY is great.

I was referring (very cheekily) to SHOUTY KELLY who kept referring to people as honey and luv - although I kind of got the feeling that she didn't really luv them!

I hope you come to a decision and manage to pick a name you both like - it's not always easy to do, is it

Lol at Shouty Kelly. I think she should change her name actually.

(might get shouted at again)

I'm back now the shouting has died down. Was not keen on Sloane, but am more impressed now that I have heard it is an old Irish name (thisisyesterday) - i don't care for what i call 'made up' names. Like Petula, its a made up name - Petula Clark's dad made it up for her.

I saw a child named "Mocha" has joined DD's class.
I have no idea whether this is a boy or girl

I don't like Sloane.
Thought Anais was ok but I must have been mispronouncing it! I blame the perfume which I feel sure cacheral pronounced as An-ay, An-ay. Not Anne eye uus, Anne eye uus.

Anais is pronounced An-ay-ees or An-ah-ees, not Anne-EYE-uss. And I don't think there was ever a TV campaign for the perfume, which was probably why it was universally and wrongly known as "Annay Annay".
