Hermione Popocatepetl???

[JanH]

From Pseuds Corner:

“BEAUMONT – On February 25th to CAMILLA (nee Huntington-Whiteley) and GINO, a daughter, Hermione Popocatepetl. ”
Daily Telegraph

Must be a mumsnetter

Popocatepetl??? that the name of a vulcan in Mexico also know as the Popo (which sounds exactly the same as the Spanish word for poo).

Even if they are into native american culture mythology, the Popcateptls is a male!

wow that is some name! How are they going to teach the poor little poppet to spell her middle name? I can't even read it!

I don't believe it

I only know what it means from Malcom Lowry's novel Under the Volcano ( very dreary)

They want a slap, those parents

took dd1 to her first birthday party on the weekend - two sisters.... calamity and cleo!! Here Cleo is a women's magazine known for its male centrefolds..... poor wee things.

although - that one is a doozy JanH

Are you saying that my new company "fisil's baby naming consultancy" is not being effective JanH? I'll have you know they paid good money for that name.

I saw this in PE and PMSL.
I know a Cleo too
Will any Mners own up to H Popo?

then here are some of my choices for any future babies:
Quetzalcoatl
Tlatoani
and my favorite
Tonantzin-Coatlicue

also will consider
Moctezuma
and
Cuautemoc.

And who are you people to make fun of my choice in names? Hermione is a lovely name and Popocatepetl happens to be where she was concieved. Far better that than to be one of a million Anns in a class! "oh hello Ann, how are you?" "I'm fine Ann, how are you?" "Ok, I'm going over to Anns tonight, you?" "No, I'm going to the movies with ann."

Id rather be unique than glued to the top 20 names list.

Ann isn't that common - this decade anyway

soooooooooo vile to have the place of conception as a name

Oh and you could go wild and spell Ann with an E to become Anne!

actually by that token dd1 would be:

dd1 Sea Urchin xxxx
dd2 Trent xxxx
db3 Kersclipon xxxx

Enid, Florence Nitigale was the first girl to be called Florence, because she was born there.

If my parents had don't that I'd be Llwynypia Martinbishop

being born somehow not as bad as conceived

boak

I think I feel a thread coming on ...

Hmm, should I go one better and call any future daughter of mine Cloaca?

Frottage

Am just thankful that Hermione P's mum didn't keep her maiden name, or triple-barrel it with the fathers - imagine:
Hermione Popocatepetl Huntington-Whiteley-Beaumont!

Kiskidee, I have Itzel on my list though I also like Quetzal and Citali.

Mexican children can pronounce these names as soon as they can speak a few words (just as your children can pronounce cholate which is another MExican word :)). Now Popo... it's pushing it... ermh...a lot?

cholate=chocolate

i think Mexican kids would laugh at someone called Popo.

sounds like we speak a similar language Chandra.

Is Itzel the Moon Goddess in Aztec?
Ixchel (say: Ish-chel) would be her Mayan equivalent

my real name must be Tonbridge Diaphragm Failure

must admit slight urge to call ds after the place where he was conceived and we live, but it's just two-way snobbery as i wouldn't have felt the same urge if we'd conceived in Klosters or Lewisham

bum. sorry to anyone in lewisham. I like it there and so does my sis who lives there.

is it some kind of scrabble joke?

is newmama really hermione popos mum??!!my kids have unusual names,but none that would get the mickey taken out of them!hermione is a beautiful name,but the popocatepetl....!honestly!!!!
