Met a baby with a brilliant name ..... [grin]

[ghosty]

The other day I met a lady with a 3 month old baby boy with a great name ....

Wait for it ....

Spike

Hands up if you would ..... (pmsl)

cyan, i'm welsh so could do your name justice!

I know a Stallone

Met a mum in the park whose baby was called Buster. Kind of goes with Spike, no?

I really resented my parents when I was growing up for choosing my name, my brother is James, which I thought was completely unfair! Coupled with an eastern european surname, it was hellish trying to get people to spell it correctly!

We know a spike too, also a Midas, which is, well..... different

Can't move for Spikes around here. Spike is the new John.

Unusual names are not unusual any more. I think it's time to get over it and move on.

(Quiz: Have the spiderkids got unusual names? a) yes. b) No. )

i know a baby called sid stone. he's gonna have to be in a band when he's older!.

We know a Che Castro - yes, really

Careful now I wanted to call ds Sid and was vetooed by MIL wish I had never told her!

Sid Stone? Cool!

Yes Lockets. He's regularly in role as Alice Corallis. He starts school in September so I don't know if Alice's days are numbered. Could be interesting.

Sid is cool! What about Sydney for a girl? Lockets when I gave birth to ds, the lady in the bed next to me called her LO Stan. Would you call him Stanley or just Stan? x

Lockets, Nell is a beautiful name

whatsherface who was in Cold Feet and Friends has a daughter called Nell and I always loved it

Stanley is really cool too.

I like Spike as well

That was my grandfather's name, so it brings back good memories for me!! How far are you now? x

For picassotriggerfish:

In Irish legends Oscar was the grandson of Finn (or Fionn) Mac Cool. Napoleon was a fan of a Scottish poet who wrote poems based on these legends and when one of his officers had a son, Napoleon was godfather and named the child Oscar. Napoleon later made this officer king of Sweden and the boy later succeeded his father to become King Oscar I of Sweden. The name became very popular in Sweden and became a traditional name in the royal house. Oscar I's court physician was Sir William Wilde and his son was named - Oscar Wilde, partly after the king and partly because his mother was involved in the celtic revival.

i like stan, also like seth

I love Tyler Rocks!! What a cool name!

There's a Thorne and a Kray at dd's school. I've also known a Nimrod - Daddy was in the RAF.
