Someone just told me this was on their shortlist. I love it, I want it...

Can't can I?

I also know a 4 year old Velvet.
It's a bit out there, but has grown on me.

Be prepared for a life time of teasing

Toilet paper I'm afraid.

And of course "tipping the velvet"

Please don't.

How about Sateen?

squeaver · 24/06/2009 20:08

Toilet roll

Is it mad-name-competition night or something?

Am quite liking Wincy-E'ete for a girl. And Ray-On for a boy.

stroppyknickers · 24/06/2009 21:21

no way. It is awful. And as for Velvet Love - poor girl. Hope she has a sense of humour as she's going to need it....

Heated · 24/06/2009 21:23

I like Cordy Roy for a boy or Calico for a girl, myself.

DebiNewberry · 24/06/2009 21:24

Oh I like it... it's pretty.

You'd have to have an awful lot of charm, arrogance and beauty in equal measures to pull off a name like Velvet, I think.

pointydog · 24/06/2009 22:04

A bit perverse for a girl's name.

Mandy Rice-Davies called herself Velvet for a while before deciding on Mandy (her real name was Marilyn).
