What would you name your children?

[mnb089mnb]

All very well, but you can't account for a name later being used in popular culture. I named my eldest daughter Nicole but the Renault Clio ads hit the TV screens about the time she started school. To this day, she won't answer when called Nicole and insists on being called Nicki.

Does her father answer to "Papa"?

 

[Meadow]

Does her father answer to "Papa"?

Nah! He's generally known as 'that bastard'. He pissed off when she was 2.

A friend of mine is called Jonathan, so everyone calls him Jon. His mum hates it and insists that everyone calls him by his full name (which I don't do of course). His old man is called Peter and everyone calls him Pete. His mum hates that too. However, she's called Patricia, but insists on being called Pat. It's weird how people work sometimes.

Ha my grandparents are called Pat and Peter. Weird. #makesyouthink

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Wonder if names like Doris, Pat, Pearl, Trevor, Irvine etc will ever make a comeback?

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Houston. Just so when they fuck up I can look at them all sternly and say, "Houston, we have a problem".

 

[smat]

Muggins.

 

[mnb089mnb]

My daughter has two middle names (named after her grandmothers).
It was my job to register the name at the registry office.
All sounds straightforward doesn't it?

However. Muggins here went and spelt his mother-in law's name wrong on the certificate didn't he?

 

[Pagnell]

I don't know, did he?

 

[The Hand of Dom]

I quite like the name Francesca for a girl, Connor for a boy.

If you're naming it Conor, at least spell it correctly.

 

[blade1889]

. I'm not sure for a girl, I like Florence and Willow but my other half dislikes them both, she likes Evangeline.

Sounds like a medication for period pains.

 

[tood]

Mario for a lad and Maria for a Girl.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Sounds like a medication for period pains.

 

[JimJams]

Muggins.

.... Muggins here went and spelt his mother-in law's name wrong on the certificate didn't he?

 

[lordofthepies]

Dario, Nairo, Ian and Grr-esty

 

[TomPNE94]

If you're naming it Conor, at least spell it correctly.

But that's ridiculous. If it is a soft sounding vowel before the N it should be a double. Do you pronounce your name Co-Nor or Con-Er

 

[Veggie Legs]

But that's ridiculous. If it is a soft sounding vowel before the N it should be a double. Do you pronounce your name Co-Nor or Con-Er

It's an Irish name though, so rules about how things should be pronounced in English don't really apply.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

thats a bit irish

 

[TomPNE94]

Yeah but we are in England, so for an English person, Connor would be the correct spelling.

 

[Pliny Harris]

Franklin or Philip for a boy.

Rosa for a lass.

 

[Stagat]

But that's ridiculous. If it is a soft sounding vowel before the N it should be a double. Do you pronounce your name Co-Nor or Con-Er

Or Con-Air

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Or Con-Air

He said it's Irish, should be Con-Èire...

 

[Dazza]

Used to live near someone who called their kids Starburst and Moonbeam

 

[lordofthepies]

No you didn't

 

[JimJams]

No it was Starburst and Fruit Pastilles.

 

[Pleg]

originally thechild was named

"Opal Fruits"

before being re named Star Burst

by The Wrigley Company

Veggie is correct.

My Irish mother chose it. Fuck the English and their shit double 'n'. It's wrong.

 

[Meadow]

My daughter and her partner are considering Sky for my granddaughter due in February. I'm not keen.
