Happy chickens! Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Apparantly some parents don't always think carefully about their children's names, see this article: http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7909561.stm At least Rose Bush sounds happy, but poor Stan Still sounds a bit fed up!

..lay a little egg for me Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The mother of an old BF of mine swore that when she gave birth to the BF, in the bed next to her was a lady who called her daughter Penelope Bun (geddit? penny bun! ) and the Dad was at school with a boy called Robin Hogg who was, of course, always referred to as Thieving Swine.

bluekarin Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I looked at the link - and I do feel sorry for poor Jenny....... It has only just clicked with me I thought this was funny though My name was Susan Frame. I am a lawyer. I met and married Robert who is a banker. His surname is Mee. Now we are Sue Mee, a lawyer, and Rob Mee, a banker - ironic? I have taken no end of stick for this, believe me. Susan Mee, Doncaster And this one is sweet I've always said that if my partner (a Button) and I had a baby girl we'd call her Pearl. With the fringe benefit that I'd get to call myself mother-of-Pearl Button. Katie, St Albans, Hertfordshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
