Re: Naming offspring?

Lol @ Jem's post!!

Regarding the original post I think it's quite clever, the Johnathan thing. I also get angry when a perfectly good name is spoiled by a silly spelling. I think Chevonne is meant to be Siobhan, lovely so why ruin it?

Re: Naming offspring?

I imagine anyone called Siobhan would go through life constantly having to spell their name out loud to officials and so on, it must be a real pain. Having said that, Chevonne has the same problem - sounds like a make of car to me.

It's black women's names I think are hilarious, specially American ones. And American boys who are all called the same as their fathers except with Junior added - how unoriginal is that?

Re: Naming offspring?

Or just called Junior!

Re: Naming offspring?

Yes junior.......... or the second or third, like royalty! Bizarre names like Will.i.am?? what's that about?!

As my daughter put it.....
"I'm Kirsty to my friends and family, Kirstin to my colleagues and Doctor to my students."

Re: Naming offspring?

With a grand daughter named Daytona I can't really comment!
In S. Africa I knew a Fortunate, September, January and Jacket!

Re: Naming offspring?

Re: Naming offspring?

Sheila named my two boys and I just went along with it. When we had our daughter I took it upon myself to name her Alison - after the actress June Alyson who I fell in love with in my teens.
