Pron. vuh-voo-zeh-la (in my head anyway)

I think it's lovely! If we manage to conceive DD2 during this World Cup, should we go for it?

No.

WinkyWinkola · 14/06/2010 21:19

No.

Vulva springs to mind.

Haliborange · 14/06/2010 21:20

Why not?
I have always fancied naming one of my DDs Quinella. Or at least I do when I am at the races...

DitaVonCheese · 14/06/2010 21:20

I also like Vulva and Volvo for twins (girl/boy twins, obviously)

Ditto winky, no-one wants vulva for a nickname.

DitaVonCheese · 14/06/2010 21:21

Halib a uni friend swore she would name her DD Passata, but has only had boys so hasn't had to face up to it.

Oh, perfect!
Definitely try and conceive during the world cup.
Would work for a boy, too, no?

Ponders · 14/06/2010 21:22

hahaha

nice idea though....

DitaVonCheese · 14/06/2010 21:23

Shurely nn would be Vuvu, like a latterday ZaZa? She would probably do ballet and have a friend called Coco.

I think you should keep it for a nickname! Because of what Winky said. You've brought a smile to my grumpy face though!

DitaVonCheese · 14/06/2010 21:24

I think for a boy you'd have to keep the S, like Wenceslas ... vuh-voo-zeh-lass ...

Passata? Most odd.
Cassata I could understand, it makes you think of something sweet, but why name your child after a VW model?

DitaVonCheese · 14/06/2010 21:27

biddy (Good. I've had a bad day myself today)

Blu 'tis after pureed tomatoes, think we ate them daily as stuuuuuudents.

Ponders · 14/06/2010 21:30

oh Blu, you are a one

actually there is loads of scope with cars - Zafira, Meriva or Micra for a girl...Picasso, Bugatti or Ferrari for a boy...

CrankyTwanky · 14/06/2010 21:34

Arf.

I think it's lovely.
What if it's a boy though?
Carlsberg?
David James von Cheese?

Haliborange · 14/06/2010 21:42

Snurk. My FIL worked for Mercedes for years.
No prizes for guessing what he wanted us to call DD1...

ILoveDolly · 14/06/2010 21:45

I love Vuvu. Makes me larf

Gaston · 14/06/2010 21:47

Ha. Will be like the Raa Raa of the 80's.

DitaVonCheese · 14/06/2010 22:01

Perhaps I should save it for a pet name for when she's making a really fucking annoying noise ...

vuvu-vroooom!
