I would sooner poke my eyes out with a sharp stick than name my child....

[binker]

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

I thought binker would have been royally roasted for this.

But you're having a polite discussion instead?

I'm very disappointed in you Mumsnet

My brother was fitting carpets in a local school a couple of years back, and one of the bags in the cloakroom had POPPY BUTTON on it.

, but that's a farking fine name!

I just love it.

this is not a nice thread

it is HORRIBLE to mock a kid's name

it is low and nasty

The following is a list of names of kids taught by a supply teacher in the USA.

I make no comment, but thought that I would share.

"Kotex," (pronounced "Ko-tay"), male
"Fuzzbot," (pronounced "Foo-beau"), female
"Figs," male
"Ruddy," (pronounced "Roo-dee"), female
"Migellmarys," female
"Nellysmarie," female
"Diggler," male
"Tyling," (like what you put up in a new bathroom), female
"Geisha," (pronounced "Gay-sha"), female
"Peach," female
"Jeamzy," female
"Exodus," male
"Flipper," male
"Cricket," female*
"Cloud," female* (Cricket and Cloud are siblings)
"Solar," female

no it isnt, it's just funny.

I have met a little boy in Spain called

Judas Garcia....

I swear! ( I was going to say to God....but I will leave religious issues for another thread)

oh well good on you

how big of the lot of you, laughing at kids

wayhey, very clever

I like soalr and Bob Geldof's daughgter is called Peaches.

Christ MB, they all sound like porn terminology.

" jeamzy up that flipper..."

For goodness sake, Fillyjonk!

I quite like Ladybird. Sorry but I do.

But it's not the children being laughed at FJ, it's the parents choosing the name.

A little unkind perhaps, but that's about it.

yes, its ok to say you dont like a name...but to openly take the piss is very unkind, not just a little.

and quite pathetic to judge a child on their name.

well enjoy

i think its horrible

how would you feel if your kid's name was on here?

I am not talking about the daft names. I am talking about the names like jayden, Kyle, Ellie etc-there ARE MNetters with kids with those names. Click on the profiles.

Its just mean. So you don't like a kid's name. It would be polite to keep that to yourself, really.

agree fillyjonk

"how would you feel if your kid's name was on here?

I told you. You can't take the piss out of childrens names on a parenting site. You just cant.

I'm sorry you feel upset.

(Not that I've laughed at any names other than 'Fats').

people don't give a shit on here.they sit there all smug with their middle class names,never mind their kids all have the same bloody names,and slag other people off.it's pathetic.

I agree about that, Filly. I only got involved when it started to lighten up - and my step-daughter is one of the names mentioned on the original list.

But we'd moved along a pace from the OP ..

You're rubbing off on me hatrick, I'll have to stop hanging round with you

Ta mucho. We mainly call her Maggie May for some reason.

I'm not upset, my kids aren't called ellie or jayden.

I just think its horrible that a group of adult women are laughing at kids names. i cannot square it with this being a nice place to spend time.

Kenzie is a gorgeous name....why didn't i ever think of that one.....i have had 6 boys and was running out of names in the end, Kenzie would have been perfect!

My name is becoming a bit more popular again, been a few in our local paper recently..Emma...i always check out the births in the paper, am i the only one??

my sister has just had her baby Freddie..i like that too..cute.
