Flowers are popular at the moment:
Rose, Lily, Poppy, Daisy, Violet etc.

^^^^ any of those names with a Lynn after it.

We went to Baby Ballet for a bit, on the basis that it was something to keep Madame occupied on a Saturday morning.

It was woeful. All the other kids were called Lily-something.

Isobel (at the age of one) showed her displeasure by rugby tackling one of the other kids in a manner befitting Chabal at his finest; fortunately it was the last session we’d paid for so didn’t need to go back…

Andy

(with the “i” pronounced as “eye”)

Quirky spellings and pronunciations might seem very clever and “unique” and special, but bear in mind that the poor little cow will be spending her entire life alternately correcting people who can’t say it properly or spelling it out so that it can be written down correctly.

I’m all for unique or unusual names, but being awkward for the sake of it is almost child abuse.

ObDisclaimer, I am not a parent.

Please use the name Zephyr somewhere in there. My Mother in Law has friends with a grandchild by that name and she can’t bring herself to call the girl by her name!

Wish she’d told us the name before our Josephine Tara (Josie) was born! We like the idea of her being street with Josie T or posh with the whole thing or somewhere in the middle!!!!!!!!!

Please use the name Zephyr

Destined to spend their childhood years nicknamed “fart”.

seavers, some great names there,

i wanted lasqueeaha or laqwanda but the wife vetoed it.

Ours are named etta and ava.

Nice Names are, obviously, subjective,some good omes above amelie, amelia, ellie,are lovely, i also like bella.

bunnyhop wins 8)

Molly.

A fellow class mate was Melanie, pronounced, Mel A an ee, aarrgghh.

Edit: emsz 🙂

cougar raises a good point,

at work the othet day i saw ‘kahan’

next to it mum had written (kane).

Stupid.

Loving Peas and Beans!

Our 4 year old is called Lottie, she can be Charlotte when she’s older if she likes.

She met another little girl in the playground a while back. I asked said girl what her name was;

“Constance”

“That’s a nice name”

“My Dad calls me Connie”

“Does he call you Conkers as well?”

“Yes, sometimes he calls me Bonkers Conkers too”

Cracked me up, Constance FTW!

I quite like longer names that can be shortened in different ways. Gives ’em a chance to pick something they like later. Eg, Josephine = Jo, Josie; Nicola = Nic, Nikki etc.

cougar raises a good point,

Had to happen eventually. (-:

Wait and see what she looks like!

Imagine them working in a job in their mid 30’s, say a vet or an accountant or something.

If you’ve ever done interview scanning of applications you will look at a name and make a preconceived judgments.

Short for Kate?

POSTED 1 HOUR AGO # REPORT-POST

🙂 Anyway ‘Bob’

We have an Evie Grace and an Isabelle (Izzi) Cara

Molly

Loving the suggestions so far – keep em coming!!

Great thread thanks guys 🙂

We asked our then 4 year old son what his little sister should be called;

Barbie Diana

Was his choice.

She’s called Saffron.

We asked our 3 yr old daughter what her brother should be called:

1:Blind
2:Bag
3:Milky

Not Annabel or Isobel. 50% of all girls born since 2008 have one of those two names.

I would go for one of:

Bianchi
Urtacaria
Bono
Kujo
Gogglebox
Spitzbergen
Grapefruit
Scrit

Beans was in the Telegraph a few months ago. She got the skateboard she wanted, and she can ride it too….

Polly Peas is a proper girly girl though

Ooooh, it’s always difficult! I didn’t want my kids to have ‘popular’ names, nor weirdo ones, so they’ve both ended up with Scottish names. 8)

Actually, when daughter was born I changed my mind and happy that I did.

I would go for one of:

I took you seriously for at least half of that post. Grr.

Regional names are always a good bet. As long as it’s not Myfanwy, if you ever plan to conduct business otuside Wales.

I took you seriously for at least half of that post.

As far as Bono? Do you know what urticaria is

Actually.. hmm.. are there any other bike related names that could pass for girl’s names?

I used to know someone called Hope.

Amelia
Bethan

Selle Italia

Pashley you could get away with, not particularly cool bike brand though.

“Plissken.” Psshaw.

Thank you

BTW – have we had Jill yet?

We were going for Gwen. But when she arrived she ended up as Layla.

Andrea

Plus we’ve got Gwen.

we’d settled on Macy, but she arrived with balls and stuff so we called her Eden instead..

Our first would have been called Smiley Facedon if my eldest niece had gotten her way.. 😀

Patsy
Nigella
Jordan
Britney
Chantelle
Chelsie
Candice
Stacey

😆

Neighbours’ granddaughters are Cadence and Rogue (not Rouge), i’ m not sure the mother really knows what they mean.

For a test to see if your name will ruin your child’s life chances, put the letters QC after any full name you choose. If it sounds ridiculous, your condemning her to life as a McDonalds drivethrough operator 😆

Do you know what urticaria is

Not without googling. Now I do. (-:

I used to know someone called Hope.

Did they spring eternal?

Layla

She’s going to be fielding chatup lines of “would you like me on my knees?” for the rest of her natural.

Mrs King and I are expecting our first in October. We both like the name Cerys for a girl and maybe Cameron for a boy, so far…

Dad where did my name come from?
STW,honey.
You mean you let that bunch of saddos choose my name…aaargh I hate you! I want my trust fund and I want it now…!

She’s going to be fielding chatup lines of “would you like me on my knees?” for the rest of her natural.

not so.. because no-one under 30 could have any possible reason to listen to that tosh..

do you listen to Max Bygraves..?
NO
