Did everyone else know that's what Austin Healey's twin toddler daughters are called?

Is it wrong to say I think they're dead sweet names?

BBD quick to text as well

I wanted to call dd Elisabeth but known as Betsy! Didn't have the nerve in the end but wish I had!

It's top of the list if we have another dd!

Bibi-Dee is dreadful!

Bibi-Dee is hideous. Poor little thing.

Guess I'm the only one liking Bibi-Dee then!

Don't worry, though, I'm not going to have another baby so I won't be imposing it on any unsuspecting tot any time soon.

MayorNaze · 30/04/2009 13:04

Puppy monkeys are of course fab

Raahh · 30/04/2009 16:30

I think that the Dee bit is short for Denise, which was his mum's name- think she passed away before they were born? read that somewhere as am sad....
But Bibi?? Maybe it is Barbara....
I do like Betsy.

MrsMattie · 30/04/2009 16:31

Love Betsey. That's my DD's nn. Bib-Dee is a bit silly. Bibi is cute, but the Dee seems uunecessary...

Fimbo · 30/04/2009 16:34

Betsy I could put up with. Bibi-Dee is just dreadful.

18ofthefirst · 05/08/2013 16:48

Most people just call her bibi or bibs in real life, they are both so adorable and really suit their names.

WhereBeThatBlackbirdTo · 05/08/2013 16:59

Bibi-Dee Bobbity Boo

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 05/08/2013 17:40

I think they are both gorgeous!
