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

[charliebat]

?

Did you never read Viz lm??

Starshaker, sure you don't mean Fionnuala? (pronounced Finnola) That was lined up for ds3 if he had been a girl. I was determined to get my Fin one way of another!

Fabrizio is a real lounge lizard sleazy Lothario name... (imho)

MD - no, can't say I have.

The kids from my ante-natal group when pg with dd2 are called Archie, Izzy, and Isla. I also know a Sebastian and Fin not Finley just Fin

My hairdresser's name is Jade, lovely name, but my hairdresser is a bloke!!

It just sounds great though! Listen, don't disillusion me, I may still meet my Italian lover and have another child with him (though I won't be able to speak to him as my Italian evening class has been cancelled )

its just so unusual had never heard it before. my bf named her kids shelly and troy and i didnt like them to start with (names not kids) but think they suit them so well now

I have always fancied Kelly and Sasha for boys but I only seem to do girls

tegan - I know twins Archie and Fin(ley) Also in one toddler group there are three Archies

My friend called her kids Gus, Alex (boy) and recently had a little girl who she called Minnie.

I wonder where the name Archie came from?

Oh bummer lm

Viz is a satirical adult comic based on all the characters you would get in old fashioned boys nad girls comics but with a twist....
(Also full of the sort of manic tips and agony aunt stuff you get in cheap women's magazines.)
Past its prime but very funny in its time.

One character was Finbar Saunders and his double entendres.
As it suggets,managed to twist everything he heard/said and make it lewd.
I'm staggered that noone has evere referred to it before.

I quite fancy Archie and Alfie if I ever had twin boys

my sons have 'unusual' names -

Tafara Yehudi and Tongai Scott (ok so not sure exactly how the Scott got in there but hey LOL).

I know a Nyasha and Anashe (girls)

An friend on another website called her daughter Aidan ! And two fo the other girls had Pixie and Bluebell as middle names!

My friend's son is Neo.
She is due with her second and if it is a girl it'll be Genie.

Don't know many weird names but when I was pg with DS2 someone suggested I make up a name so they would be the only one with it

• yeuch - not my sort of thing at all - sorry if that sounds snobby but I prefer more "traditional names - she obviously didn't

Archie is a shortened version of Archibold......

Iolo

although I we did amke a slight "error" with DS1 - we call him Taf or Taffy for short - the common way to shorten his name.........which was fine when we were discussing in Zimbabwe.... It was only when we got back here and everyone asked about the Welsh connection (I'm a Gwen) ARGHHH - they seem to have stopped now - I think me screaching TAFFY and TONGAI in a mixture of Yorkshire, Bedford and South African accent...makes them realise that perhaps I'm not Welsh

Archie seems to be quite common really. I think it all depends on you're surname too

Fats

Yeah like if your surname is Archer?? Archie Arhcer ROFL

I DO like Alfie, Archie, Arthur etc. But are they dignified for adolescents? Or young men? They are very cute on babies and, obviously for old men (Alfred, Archibald), but I can't help wondering how many teenagers are going to be be squirming and renaming themselves John or Andrew - just as the Johns, Andrews and Pauls in my class all renamed themselves things like Zac and Jools to be 'cool' !
