What would you think of making up your own names for your DCs?

[aurynne]

I am asking because I have recently met a family in which the parents made up names for their two DDs. Their names are Kelen and Briar!

Has anyone here done that? What do you think of the idea? It is definitely the way to avoid ending up with another 10 children with the same name in their class...

Hugs,

Aurynne

Stupid idea.

As is putting ''Hugs''

yuck

yep pointless and stupid

and agree with knickers, so is putting 'hugs' and your name after your posts.

I think people are free to do what they like. Go for something in the top 100 or dip their hand into a scrabble bag and see what happens

please don't sign off with hugs. The vipers will bite you!

...so is making such an issue of what another person chooses to write at the end of her posts by the way :P

Hugs,

Aurynne

Briar isn't a made up name.

And even if you choose the most common name going you would be pretty unlucky to have another one in the class.

Kelen is not unique to them either. Google it and you'll see.

So very unusual rather than made up.

Hugs.

Hecate.

seeker... here in New Zealand there was a class with three girls called "Unique"... quite hilarious...

Who remembers that fantastic thread a few years ago where the OP said she was making up lovely names for her children that she liked because they sounded nice?

I laughed about them for years and now I've bloody forgotten them. (I realise it's unlikely anyone will have any idea what I'm on about.)

Big old slobbery snogs,

I like it when people add their names at the end of their posts. Otherwise I might not know who wrote the post in question. Oh no, hang on, it's up there in blue. My mistake.

Don't hug me either. It's like a switch in my head and I start indiscriminately maiming.

SOH:

Chill.

Hugs,

Pity for you ShowofHands... hugs are so nice!

Oops, wrong switch.

This is a pisstake, isn't it

aurynne - I beg you to stop hugging. Please.

What about a spot of inappropriate groping instead?

ROFL ladies, get a grip. There are far more important issues in this forum than a poster signing her messages with "hugs". I always do it and will keep doing it because I like it, and because last time I checked the rules, it wasn't forbidden.

Hugs,

Aurynne

But isn't it a bit embarrassing when you go to hug someone and they just stand there stiffly, not reciprocating?

It's more embarrassing when no one knows how to greet, and no one says anything, and you could cut the silence with a knife. I prefer action to inaction ;)

You can do what you like aurynne. Just be prepared for the fact that people will not respond sensibly to a thing you say and will assume you are patronising them.

I quite agree. I am a big hugger in RL, I just hide it well on here

I admire your openness.

Fine aurynne, the rest of us will restrain ourselves from the inappropriate touching while you go round the group and hump our legs. Good for you.

briar isnt made up.its briar rose init?

snogs

People may call you a cunt. Are you prepared for that?
