I filled in the answers from the drop down menu - and the result came in with:

First on the list - my first grandson's name

And second - my son's name.

shock. How did they do that?!

quiz here

I was just passing time. I am not expecting.

Ariadne Mon 16-Feb-15 18:52:20

Really, jingl? Are you sure? There is the odd precedent - Elizabeth, wife of Zacharias?
Looking forward to more news grin

Well, my tummy at the moment....... Ah, no. That'll be the lunch at Pizza Hut.

sad or perhaps [phew!]

Ariadne Mon 16-Feb-15 18:59:47

Well.....could be the making of GN!

rosequartz Mon 16-Feb-15 19:19:58

Mine came up with my GGmother's name, DD2's name (both quite unusual) and my GN name (short for my first name)

I'm very impressed. Wow. Mine had my son's name, and a very close approximation of my daughter's (which is a very unusual name).

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Mon 16-Feb-15 21:26:19

Oh. My. Word.

Obviously I had to try - and DD's name was among the ones that came up. Spppppoooooooky!

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 16-Feb-15 21:29:39

It's just amazing. I can't get over it.

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Mon 16-Feb-15 21:34:16

Nor me grin

Lona Mon 16-Feb-15 22:37:54

I'm just confused

janerowena Mon 16-Feb-15 23:02:05

Isn't it awful to be so predictable! grin There are hardly any of my son's generation with that name, and none with my daughter's. Yet there they were. Hers isn't even British!

Ana Mon 16-Feb-15 23:15:48

Well...my baby, who will grow up to be a Dinner Lady, wear Oxfam clothes, shop at Aldi and whose favourite biscuits will be Jaffa Cakes should be called Lucy or Ella!!! hmm

Ana Mon 16-Feb-15 23:30:04

Not sure I did the right quiz! confused

ninathenana Mon 16-Feb-15 23:35:27

That's the only one I could see Ana answers were nothing like either of my DC names.

rosequartz Mon 16-Feb-15 23:41:50

Ana grin

Mine can be whatever she wants to be!

rosequartz Mon 16-Feb-15 23:46:03

Ha ha ha
Well, my DGS is going to be a High Court Judge and - there he was at the top of the list!!

I am so daft I didn't understand what I was supposed to do – but then, it's pretty unlikely that I am pregnant and need to know.

absent Tue 17-Feb-15 05:20:39

Actually, it's impossible.

MariClaire Tue 17-Feb-15 07:33:02

grin I'm daft as well.

Marmight Tue 17-Feb-15 08:02:50

Couldn't make head or tail of it confused

thatbags Tue 17-Feb-15 08:23:18

Wrong job choices, wrong clothes shops, wrong food shops, wrong biscuits. Not a single clue about my DDs' names, none of which are in the least freaky or trendy.... just unpredictable, like their mum wink

Katek Tue 17-Feb-15 08:53:45

I put in DD1 details and got 2 grandsons, 1 husband and a granddaughter!! It must be picking up shared info from FB or other social media.

shysal Tue 17-Feb-15 09:09:38

Spooky indeed! It came up with the names of DD1, DGS3 and both of DGS2's!

J52 Tue 17-Feb-15 09:39:18

Put in DS1 and got his name first! x
