Petal Blossom Rainbow...

[Fayecorgasm]

is what Jools Oliver has called her new baby! Baby got a baaaad name !!

Actually, Paula Yates used unusual names for her three dds and although they were 'odd' at the time, nobody bats an eyelid now when they read about Fifi, Peaches and Pixie....perhaps when Petal is on the London club scene in 20yr's time, it'll be a similar story...

Why does everybody get on a pedestal about what other people call their children???
I think they are pretty names, everybody has different tastes, lots of children have unusual name nowadays, it doesn't hold you back anymore for goodness sake!
I love Bluebell as a name to the lady earlier, I wanted that, but Gerri Halliwell used it a few weeks before my DD was born and I thought it would look like I was copying . Happy Birthday to her!

On a different note, that man IS surrounded by girls isn't he? And I bet he's lovely for it....!

Poppity! If you're allowed to get on a pedestal about people getting on a pedestal, then we should be allowed to get on our pedestals.

So there

MrsMerry, hahahaha!!!!

Reminds me of my DD wanting to call our puppy Sparkle.

Bet she likes Petal Blossom Rainbow.

I still bat an eyelid at Fifi, Peaches and Pixie.

There's unusual - which is more, er, usual now - and plain stupid. And I know which I think Petal Blossom Rainbow and the other two belong to, too...

Petal and blossom are endearments, not names! Middle names you can do what you like to some extent, but with thousands of names out there, I really think there are much much better choices.

It's the sort of name my dd would have liked a couple of years ago (she is eight). Surely you grow out of these strange naming urges? Fifi, Peaches and Pixie are also ridiculous names.

i think its the sort of name i love reading about celebs giving their precious pampered off spring but one which bears no reality to normal childrens names.....Slebs are a diff breed it must be said. I like the olivers - nice family...

I still think Peaches,Fifi and Pixie are odd names!

Pixie less so, as i knew one years ago

shame, because they are all pretty words, or at least, words with pretty associations - but all together, as a whole name, a bit daft.

"These are my daughters, Daisy, Poppy and Petal"

Quite pretty - maybe Jools should change her name to Jonquils. And open a florist.

Hey they are doing alright for a couple with ttc problems, aren't they? (Don't know full story so forgive me if this is ignorant thing to say)

what are the Le Bon girls called? One of them is Tallulah, right?

Le Bon girls are called Amber, Saffron and Tallulah. They obviously got a bit more adventurous as each girl came!

Peaches is wierd but I quite like it, same as Pixie and fifi. I'm not that into them as people but the names are ok.
Petal is too sickly sweet for me. I like Saffron. It's a bit more exotic like Jasmine. And if you have an ultra girly First name the second name shouldn't be too girly. Daisy boo is ridiculous! Poor girl.

There are so many other nature names Holly, Heather, Lily, Ivy, Iris, Violet, that are pretty and girly but not quite so silly.

As much as anything, I don't think that Petal Oliver rolls off the tongue very easily. Am also surprised that they went for a flower part as opposed to an actual flower. Tulip, Bluebell, Lily, Buttercup () would all have sounded better imo!

helsbels...considering those you mention, the poor Kid got a lucky escape......
I do think Ivy or Lily would have gone better with Daisy and Poppy

It is a rather strange name, however I work in an old peoples care home and one of our residents was an 90 year old woman called Queeny Joy Rainbow!!!

Celebrity Kids names....

Audio Silence??? are you kiddding me???

reading through that page, and man there are some parents you do NOT want to be born, too....I mean Sage Moon Blood? Or George Foreman and his 5 sons all caled George...rofl....or Tiger Lily Heavenly Hirani...hmm...or Diva Muffin....man, these people take being creative a bit to far me thinks...

ah well Audio Science or Moon Unit...lol...

Some of those parents were complete druggies as well as hippies though. I love the way that Zowie Bowie is now Duncan Jones The George Foreman ones are rather sad. They must have all envied Natalie, who has the only normal name out of the 10 of them.

As for "Tu Morrow" that I think is just cruel. Some of those middle names must have been "for a laugh" - Rainbow (bad enough) Joan of Arc

Poor kids

I am now try to convince DP to go for the name Esme if we ever have a girl.
