... well here's why. Many many Mumsnet moons ago a small thread sat on a leaf was started. That thread was titled: "If oyu name si Linda you are an admin perosn at a hospital" and, once folks had deciphered it, it went on to blossom into a Mumsnet classic.

Anyway, as we are wont to do here at MNHQ, we pounced on your ingenuity, wit and brilliance and thought (whilst stroking our beards) how can we plagiarise this idea? And lo after many months locked in the shed with nothing more than a Greggs' sausage roll and a froot shoot for company, Tech has transformed your our scheme into (we hope you'll agree) a corruscating and beautiful reality.

For no longer will you have sweat over the relative merits of Thomasina vs Sequoia for your baby girl - now you can just ask the wisdom of Mumsnet (at least you will be able to once we've all added our two pennies worth to it).

And so, without further ado, let us unveil the Mumsnet Baby Name Finder. Whether it's a Precious First Born or a soon to be Neglected Subsequent Child you're looking to name, you'll find the perfect moniker right here.

Please have a play and let your prejudices run riot!

(ps please bear in mind it's meant to be light-hearted - we don't really think any of offspring will grow up to be Hedge Fund Managers )

ingles2, it's not one I'd thought of to be honest, but I don't think I'll be able to avoid saying it now....

I am upset have just seen DD's name means 'bitter'.
But otherwise, loving this section and will waste much of afternoon looking like am working but actually putting in every name I know

Fillyjonk · 23/07/2009 22:41

It is GREAT fun

I do agree though that the "love it" / "hate it" thing should probably be taken off, its probably a bit shit seeing that lots of people hate your child's name. Its a bit strong too really, I don't think I HATE many names at all, I just think they are really dull.

Hmm, not good to search up your own name to find that people knew one who was vile (unless that's what all my friends have been doing...)

chegirl · 24/07/2009 15:49

I dont get it Please someone take pity and explain.

Perplexed to find DS1's name in the most nasty and nicest people's list though

CantSleepWontSleep · 26/07/2009 21:09

Philippa is normally spelled Philippa NOT Phillippa as you have it .
