Talking of baby names what are the most ridiculous ones people have heard? I've heard some crackers but my top 3 are Blu (and its a boy!), Ocean Breeze (airfreshener!) and Storm Electra (likes x-men waaaay too much methinks!). All these poor children are officially living with these names how cruel is that?

Theres a thread deep in the depths of the Arms called 'Stupid chav names for kids' or something similar:rotfl: Goodness me there were some silly ones in there :eek::eek:

xmaslolly76

worst one i heard was Sunnyday memphis, apparently she was named after where she was concieved how embarresing having to explain that one to your freinds. If i went in the same vain it would be freezeyabo**oxoff tipton ;-)

I work in a team related to the social work teams around the area and I've heard some really terrible ones, though obviously couldn't mention them because of the work connection. I did read somewhere though that there is at least one poor child in the USA with the name "chlamydia"! A colleague of mine also said that she heard that someone wanted to, but thankfully didn't, call their child "placenta" after hearing the "pretty word" in hospital:rotfl:

It's also awful when people give their child a name that doesn't suit or has connotations of someone that looks entirely the opposite. i.e. the young, very blonde and very white little girl a friend of a friend saw in a shop. Her mum shouted over to her "oi Beyonce, get over here!"

Hi Ladies

Can I join? I had my nuchal scan and dating scan today, although bubs was misbehaving and had to go in twice in order to see all of baby and to do the measurements. Put both hands up at the screen like was saving a goal - bless!

They have said my due date is 18/09, which is one day before DH's birthday and 7 days after mine - will be a busy month!

Big labour vibes to those that need it - hope you all see your babies soon.

congratulations! You have the same birthday as my sister...she was 21 that year! I think you're quite near me too...was your scan at kings?

jopsey

on the subject of names ,I am really starting to panic now as we still havn't picked names an have just under 4 weeks to go ,finding it really hard as either DP or myself can't agree or we know somebody who has a kid with the name ,but DS came up with Lizzie today I quite like it , what do you guy's think ? but he also came up with Micheal Jackson erm don't think so son :rotfl:

Somnium

Jopsey - Lizzie is cute How about Brennan for a boy?

Jopsey - Lizzie is cute but don't worry you have 6 weeks after the birth to decide on a name. Neither of my children suited their pre-chosen names and had no names for a week! I have no idea what baby 3 will be called I will just see what she looks like when she arrives!

CAFC, Landon's a really nice name. It's cute for when he's a lil 'un, but lovely for when he's grown up. If you're not really into name shortening (some people are against) it doesn't seem like a name that can be shortened either. What does OH think?

Esio - thanks for that. I probably do walk fairly quickly but only cos I hate getting stuck behind people. If I'm going somewhere I get really impatient. I might mention to midwife when I see her on Thursday though.

Thats what I thought... At a push I figured it might get shortened to Andy... but thats a real push...
OH is ok with it. I told him the consensus on here was Landon :rotfl:

Som - I wanted a L name as a sort of token to my Dad, as his middle name will be my grandads middle name (who passed away just before we found out about bab).... and I do love my Dad but I just dont like his name that much LOL
Logan is nice, but it just doesnt seem to flow as well with the other names we'll be having :A

Thanks, I'll be 31 when bubs is due not 21!! No not at Kings I went to the Mayday in Croydon (or as my DH keeps refering to it the MayDie ) They were really nice and friendly, actually went in before my appointment time. Was funny as she couldn't see bubs properly to do the measurement for the neck fold and made a comment that all the babies today were being naughty as was a Monday

When is your scan Rach?
