Chicken Licken Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Viscount - isn't that a type of biscuit in a green wrapper I think they should call him Trent - then he could be Severn Trent (or Trent Severn Windsor) - very geographical!!

Egluntyne Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 A colleague gave her little girl the name 'Sparkle' That is child abuse. Can you imagine her collecting her pension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Oooooh! *Thinks* 'Sparkle James' I think that sounds great! cheers Clare, we were struggling for a girls name.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Isn't sparkle the name of a washinup liquid or furniture polish There is a girl at my school whose name is Dolphin, I know someone who named their son Blue and someone who named their Daughter Tiger. All tradtional Scottish names don't you know . Their is also a girl at school called Iona Hall Which led to an afternoon of making up similar silly first and last names Some got quite rude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 DOLPHIN . What were they thinking? Mr Sparkle was a cleaning product in an episode of The Simpsons - maybe they're fans . There's a boy in my school called Zax (might even be a double xx ). Not short for anything. Spose it's quite but it doesn't really suit him.

Tessa the Duchess Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 In the olden days when hippies walked the earth it was fashionable to name children very weirdly. One friend called her little girl Lavender Blue but worse..another called her son Sunshine Sunshine is now in his 40's, is an accountant called Andrew I feel a bit sorry for the Beckham's son called Romeo, what were they thinking?

That is pretty grim, maybe she named him after a relative? A few years back it was fashionable to name babies with 'old fashioned' names Arthur, George etc., which I can sort of live with, but girls were called Dorothy and Maud nice enough names for chickens but not for little girls Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I like old fashioned names! I can see that there will be a lot of, "Oh, ok....erm, what a nice name ", come March and the baby makes its forum debut..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
