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

Have laughed loads at this thread - especially because our DS (only a year so no playground yelling yet) is called Sol! well Solomon, thought it was a useful name as he can be Solly, Sol, or Solliwolliwocious.....lol

That's the spirit, lily. Some people have got so arsey over it

Archangel is also a Russian place name. It's right on the north coast ... very cold.

Probably a very shit place, but doesn't it sound fantastic?

And the moral of the story is perhaps that it is wise to stick to a classic timeless name (perhaps dull but safe)

lol, we're from the north coast here and bloody hell it can be cold.... Solomon Scarborough - why didn't i think of that????

Are you from Scarborough? My parents live in Scarborough!

I like the same Sol.

And Sonny.

lol, do i know them??? its quite a small place!

lyrabelacqua, this boy (man?) isn't TJ, he is TeeJay - TeeJay is what his parents named him - not for his initials, that's his name!!!

Probably not - they are very old.

They live in Mayfield Avenue

So, did it?

And I think Putney for a boy. Or is it too girly? I don't want him teased in the playground for having a girly name.

lol, i know the street well..... it is quite a small town!!!

wendy, yes that is pretty crap

welshboris, I love the name Sonny too. if we ever have a 3rd ds that will be his name (dp doesn't know this yet).

We're going to have to stop agreeing Hatrick, people are going to talk.

James is DPs brothers name, and is probably my favourite boys name. It's just a lovely boys and mans name.

james is fab name

I think people are missing a wealth of opportunity offered by the names of electrical goods.

Toshiba
Sony
Hyundai
Bang & Olufsen (the twins)
Sharp
Philips
Samsung
Pioneer

"Ey, you, your Hyundai's bin callin' our Pioneer names."

And one of my favourite mumsnetters has a lovely DS called James.

oh he is utterly scrumptious. I may have to steal him when i see him next

UD, i rather liked Zanussi.
