Names

Her second one should be Luncheon, obviously.

Yes - someone suggested that. Or Ready!

We had this thread a while ago Lucky and some of the replies ( grandchildrens names) had me laughing, however I do remember a few posters being miffed (not that they knew I was laughing) and thought other posters were too starchy, hopefully this won't happen this time.

Our DGC have traditional names ( without any input from us.)

And her third child could be Hitee.

I think the second child should be called Beakons.

And the fourth, Zupper.

Or Knightkap.

Ana

Midnytesnak?
Nytie for short

Ours are all quite traditionally old-fashioned.

Or was he conceived in Brecon and she can't spell?
Kerrphilly?

Ana,that made me laugh

When I had my daughter I had a very traditional very Irish GP who thundered into the maternity ward and said in ringing tones 'if you've called that child something ridiculous I'm not attending her. Children would have names they can grow old with'. As it happened I thought the same and wanted classical rather than biblical names as my mother would have preferred so Helen Josephine it was and it does her very well.

I cant help thinking that a lot of children are going to grow up and want to change their names - what seems fashionable and celebrity based now will have long been outmoded.

I should say she followed suit with her son who is Adam David (very biblical).

How about Mended then she can have Breaken and Mended.

I heard a mother calling to her little boy....'Hero, come along Hero'. What if he wasn't brave? What if he's afraid of spiders? Poor little lad.

Besides which, isn't Hero a girl's name? From my vague memories of Greek mythology.

Clearly not Kerphill(y) enough Jalima.
The fashion for naming babies after where they were conceived (Brooklyn Chelsea etc) fortunately doesn't seem to have spawned too many imitators. Imagine a Dad saying "but I've never been to the US?)

Anyone know why Brekken ? Is it a made up name or a real word
Think people need to choose more carefully, although I think others quite like having an unusual name.

Apparently it is a Finnish town.

I know a boy called Hawthorn because he was conceived under a hawthorn bush.

Ouch!

hmmn, this naming after where you are conceived may be alright [or not] just glad the event happened in Scarborough and not Bridlington eh?Or Chelsea, but not Stoke Newington.Or Mansfield but not Worksop. etc etc.

What happens if you use that theory (where they were conceived) and end up with several children with the same name?
Confusing.

Hero was a priestess of Aphrodite (Hero and Leander?)

I once looked after a child whose middle names were Railway Station for the same reason - honestly.
