sure is beneath me! but just because something is beneath you, it doesn't mean that you can't comment on it!

my nickname is Nellie as due to my name Helen

Right, just in case Ms SS (nice initials) isn't a troll...

  1. This is the 'Baby Name' discussion board. So, the people on here are discussing babies' names. Not whatever you would deem to be a worthy way of spending time.

  2. The OP has made it very clear that her interest in what Zoe Ball and Norman Cook have chosen to name their daughter, is due to the fact that she may, one day, want to name a future daughter of her own with a name similar in sound to that of her DS, just as they have done.

3)The OP has been pretty good natured about your snidey comments, perhaps, because she is more than aware that her post is a light-hearted ponder on the way siblings' names sound when you say them in the same sentence. She is not pretending that this is a topic for major debate.

(PommePoire stomps off, shaking her head at some people's sense of superiority.)

Pausing only to add that Billy and Rosy go very well together. And mad as they are, so do Woody and Nelly.

jollster Aw shucks. StewieGriffinsMom was right.

With 'Woody' I could never get past the Toy Story visuals, and now with 'Nelly' I can't get past the elephant thing. Did they intentionally name their kids after cartoon characters?!

I think Nelly will come in for marginally less teasing than poor Woody in years to come though.

I quite like it. Wouldn't use it myself but it's perfectly ok.

Susansharp - you will find many people round here do have jobs. They just aren't at work 24 hours a day!

JamesandHisFlamingSword · 17/01/2010 00:05

Hear hear PommePoire.

Ms Sharpe - there are lots of other threads if you aren't interested in Baby Names. AIBU would welcome you, I am sure

Woodrow and Eleanor I hope! Eleanor is lovely.

William and Rosanna would be great. My two have non matching proper names that have become "ie/y" shortenings most of the time, but are different enough not to sound like a matching pair. Billy and Milly for example would not be so good.

You can get away with Woody if the full name is Edward, IMHO.

soda1234 · 18/01/2010 00:01

Nell/Nelly short for Helena is also lovely
