Petal Blossom Rainbow...

[Fayecorgasm]

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

makes me wonder what goes on in these slebs heads, naming their offspring as they do. i reckon it is abusive and making it all the more likely that the little ones will be teased at school.

stupid tw*ts

I think that Celebrity Big Brothers take on the celeb names was awesome and so true!!!

Where the "celeb couple" got those baby dolls and called them

Table
Fork
Spoon
etc

I do feel really sorry for these poor kids! Do you think getting famous ACTUALLY destroys all commonsense??

it is such a terrible name...the poor child, imagine when she gets to school, she will be torn apart with a name like that. Kids will use ANY excuse to pick on another, and with this name they do not even need an excuse!

I've heard worse celeb names. But it's one of those names where you have to look the part to carry it off - what if she ends up being built like a brickie?

Duncan Jones is Zowie Bowie....I never new that....
well, he was Duncan Zowie Bowie I suppose...

Nancy, looking at the ther girls and the parents...I doubt Petal will look anything but gorgeous....

It goes with the other "flowery" type names they have chosen.
Not my personal choice but not too bad considering.

It IS a My Little Pony name.

Good lord.

I just don't get
'They'll never be a lawyer/prime minister/ managing director with a name like that' comments.

What????
and
Why???

Isn't there a barrister or even perhaps judge called Cupcake Brown?

Petal is the piglet in 'Big Barn Farm' (CBeebies) It is a cute piglet name.....

"...nobody bats an eyelid now when they read about Fifi, Peaches and Pixie...."

• I'm sorry, but when you read what their full names are - oh, and there's Tiger Heavenly Lily Whatever as well, they sound pretty silly to me and I DO bat both my eyelids actually..

awful. Petal isn't a flower name at all, like the others. makes me think of a puppy or a horse.

Petal Blossom MLP

love that George Foreman has named his sons George I, George II, George III, George IV & George V

If they have a boy next time round they can call him Leaf Leif

Btw it was good to see a picture of all 3 with Jools still looking rather large ( and I mean that in the nicest possible way!)
Instead of looking as though she had never eaten a decent meal in her entire life, plastered in makeup and wearing size 0 skin tight jeans, like most "celebrity" women seem to do 10 minutes after giving birth

Good on you I thought

Peaches, Fifi and Pixie don't make me bat an eyelid, they send my whole face into contortions.

Fifi soundsl ike a French poodle and Peaches sounds very kinky to me.

shit

So he didn't get a boy then?

There should honestly be rules like what they have in Denmark.

We have loads and loads of girls called peaches in a gypsy settlement a few miles from our local town!! They go to the local schools for a little while, so that name is normal to us!!

Still can't get over the fact that the Olivers stole my cats names they are most upset about it

oh didn't know that. Well I suppose if you hear it a lot, it starts to sound less odd. Jsut makes me think of the Stranglers (how old am I?!) : "walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches"

what rules are there in denmark then??

I'm just not keen on 'themed' naming. I know it's good to have names that 'go' together, but why do they all have to be flowers (or parts of flowers, poor petal!). Like sisters Pearl, Ruby and Emerald, or April, May and June. It's just a bit too much for me.

I also agree that if they had to do it, then there are some nicer (imo) flower/plant names - Iris, Fleur and Willow are my favourites.

Grandfather in law called his children One, Two and Three (he was an engineer and thought numbers perfectly good for all occasions) but they used their middle names - given by their more socially astute mother.

ds1 use to call himself rainbow and wanted ds2 to be rainbow-that or kitten.

i quite like it!

my dad wanted to name one of my sisters badger.hmmmm

Norma - really?! that's very funny

leanna, they have very strict rules about what children can be called, to protect them basically from loonies like the olivers and many other celebs.
here is an article if you fancy a gander
