What did your friends call their kids and you had to stop the snort..

[charliebat]

?

hunker - you just dare to not tell us - we'll find out your address and ambush your house.

I'm sure the reactions won't be as bad as I got (in RL!) with DS2's name - ranging from "WHAT??" to "oh that's unusual" and even getting cards to "Tom Guy" (he's Tongai)

DH already said he won't have a name with the "WTF factor" - he says DS's name is about as left-field as he's prepared to go which made me lol as it's not that out of the ordinary!

Sorry I disappeared everyone, my daughter phoned to say she'd forgotten her shoes for the show so I had to find them and dash down with them, I got to hear her sing her solo though, although I couldn't see her very well

I'll keep quiet on this one,eh??

(For all that know me!)

my friend called dd Bonnie (dog's name)
surname is Parker
i.e. Bonnie and Clyde
i.e. she called her dd after a dog and a nasty thieving criminal
donkey

I know a Talitha, they call her Tally for short and there was a little girl called Thalia in the hospital when we were there, she was admitted on Christmas day

I find it hard to keep a straight face when I encounter young Aragorn on my daily route to work/nursery. Whyohwhyohwhy?

no marina, tell me it is not so!

Chad-boy and Miffy-Girl ! lol

Hey Tegan - we've got a Tegan too - known at nursery as Tiggy tiger and about the house as 'Tigger'. She's only 2 so has no embarrassment yet.

Ds has got an unusual name and an even worse middle name - don't know what I was thinking

A friend has just had a baby who has a number of very traditional beautiful names - but her initials spell a minor swear word! That caused a snort to be stifled!

Tigermoth, fraid so. He is a dear little guy and his parents look unfeasibly sensible to have done this to him...

I know of a Pandora, poor kid. Screams 'wannabe upper-middle class parents'. Plus Pandora's box always sounds rude to me...

And a Margot. Lovely little girl, lovely parents, but can't help hearing the theme tune to the Good Life in my head when I think of her...

how about velvet???? With the surname of my friends really sounds like a porn star!

Well, I don't know them personally but through a friend of a friend.

I suspect I will kill this thread dead in it's tracks because it easily out does every single name here on the snort-o-meter.

Here it is...

DISNEY

FFS, that poor child!

indeed

Do you think any younger brother will be called Mickey? Or Minnie for a girl?

A friend of mine was clearly suffering from late-pregnancy brain - you know when it turns to mush? She wanted to call her daughter Nettle... but thought better of it, fortunately.

minnie-lupin

Can you imagine the poor child as grown woman? Some high flying, big time city worker with a name like that

I bet she'll be really thanking her mother in years to come

I saw a baby in a baby competition and her name was Angel-Star Princess Walton - wtf?????

one of my friends called her boy Justin.

I didnt snort as such but was a bit disappointed she didnt choose something a bit more interesting.

Sorry to parents of Justins!

Crazy
I belonged to a gym w/a gal who named her daughter 'Dazzle Star'. I kid you not. She got pretty defensive when a bloke kidded her that 'that's a porn star name.'

lol

Sounds also like a name for a 'my little pony' - awww

Her son's name was 'Rocky'.

She was . . . um . . . different.

actually my nephew used to play with a little boy called Rocky when he was little!

His family was a tad erm ....different too!
