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

DS1s name came up 4th under the choices for a baby boy and my name came up 1st for a baby girl no sign of DDs name in the top choices at all.

No mention of any of our names but it appears my cat will grow up to be an Interior Designer! grin

I do FB and so do my DDs but that quiz still hadn't a clue. Maybe we have cookie walls set up wink

Nor me Marmite, I'm relieved I'm not the only one. No names came up that meant anything to me hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 17-Feb-15 09:55:05

I don't do FB and never have tweeted any names. That leaves emails!

See! Everywhere!!!

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 17-Feb-15 09:53:26

Katek! Have you wrecked sussed it?! Are cookies involved?!

Those flippin' things are everywhere!

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 17-Feb-15 09:44:57

wink

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 17-Feb-15 09:44:31

You don't have to put what your

Either you get it or you don't. hmm [sigh]

I am still not sure how this works I assume our answeres to the question give some indications of parental social aspirations. All my 2yr old DGS wants to be right now is a fireman or a "dustbin lorry man."

Put in DS1 and got his name first! x

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

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

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.

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

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

Couldn't make head or tail of it confused

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

grin I'm daft as well.

Actually, it's impossible.

absent Tue 17-Feb-15 05:20:22

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.

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!!

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

Ana grin

Mine can be whatever she wants to be!

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.

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

Not sure I did the right quiz! confused

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

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!

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

I'm just confused

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

Nor me grin
