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)

*Taylor even!

LOL Lockets I read that as you wanted to call your baby "Satan" That would be different...

I did actually meet a toddler called John the other day, and thought "Gosh, how unusual!"

BTW I am reading this thread avidly to see if I can get any ideas in case db is a boy...

Know of a couple of Spikes and a couple of Levis. Also (overheard at gym) Woody. There is a Sid in DS2's class

sounds more like their describing how cool he is doesnt it!!..note to taylors parent..sorry for displaying your sons name on mumsnet if your reading this

You are all Americans in British clothing.

Those names aren't cool, they're naff dog's names.

I like Sid.

I know a 4 year called Arthur, now I don't like that, thinks its an old man's name.

i like Archie too

maybe a bit too balamory tho'

Levi is an Old Testament name. He was one of the '12 Tribes of Israel' and the third son of Leah. Nothing 'chav' about it. I know went to school w/a boy called Levi who's now a rabbi.

My cuz has a dog called 'Stan'. After the Eminem song.

when i was carrying dd i also liked Fletch for a boy..dp said he'd said it for a laugh but i hung onto it!..good job we had a girl he thinks!

Several Arthurs at the DSs' school. Also Gus.

I like Fletcher for a boy and Sydney for a girl but don't know if i am brave enough to actually give them to DB2!!

Have to admit I heard a little boy being called Levi the other day and in a good strong essex accent it sounds v chavish!! (sorry) Didn't help that the sister was called Tequilla and they were all dripping with bling.....don't think that the names had come from the biblical source!

obviously what she was wearing and what she was drinking on nights they were concieved!

OOh yack great minds think alike, Sydney is nice!!! How are you lovely, when you off on hols? Ill send you an email about our meet up, need your dates.

The reason I'm not keen on Levi, is because the chap I was referring to was extremely chavvy, which has probably shaped my feelings on the name!

I know a baby called John

Have also heard of one called Victory! (a boy). And Suzi Godson in the Times has a baby daughter called Velvet

like double velvet loo roll! half the time its associations even a perfectly trad name like Amelia which i wanted for dd2 got vetoed (sp) because dp knew an unpleasant amelia also liked rose for her but MIL said it was too spikey ffs

Lockets I like Stan or Stanley and SId(ney) as well. But then I like old men’s names (ahem). And old ladies’ too - as anyone who has met my children will know!

I know of a child called Jeronimo!! Seriously!! (Aparantly it was his grandfathers name or something!!)

i teach 3 brothers called levi, nathan and jacob.

ichabod

That's just reminded me of an LJ that I know - full name ElJerone!

Yep I would

(don't think DH would though, says it sounds like a dog)

Elmo- um, no. Unless he's red and made of felt, anyway.
