Kyle
Ellie
Jaden/Jayden
Chanelle
etc etc... and apologies if you have called your child any of the above
I put Ellie because a squillion little girls are called that.
Freya is a nice name but there are so many now - it really turns me against such names,no matter whether they are nice

SO other than to offend other parents, your point is...?

plummymummy · 06/06/2007 15:34

Hmm, names are such an emotive subject. Tbh, i am a pretty plucky gal but I steer well clear of criticising names on here as people get very offended.

CountessDracula · 06/06/2007 15:35

so what are your kids called binker?

WelshBoris · 06/06/2007 15:35

My cousins little girl is called Jayden.

And I know a few Ellies.

I think you're talking out of your ass to be honest, you're going to upset a LOT of people

alex8 · 06/06/2007 15:36

would you really? I think I would rather be able to see my children whatever their names!

Can we judge your fave names now please?

What an insightful and thought provoking OP.

plummymummy · 06/06/2007 15:37

Ha ha - told you

binker · 06/06/2007 15:37

oh dear, yes you are quite right - that is probably not a good idea - I'm so bored today that I'm feeling mischievious -
apologies and ignore this thread !

Now you should poke your eye out with a sharp stick in that case. Obviously you are joking though.

channellesmum · 06/06/2007 15:40

CountessDracula · 06/06/2007 15:41

Blu · 06/06/2007 15:42

harleyd · 06/06/2007 15:42

Twiglett · 06/06/2007 15:42
