Name the baby comp

[Tara]

You had better not go into labout at the AR.

Cant be good for the kid either way.

Aparently any girls born in an Essex hospital will have to be named Brittney, Chardonnay or Jade, the choice of names for boys isn't much better........

And if they happened to be born in the field, imagine if you had to give them the name of the person who helped deliver them - fine if its Melody, but can you imagine their embarrasment at "Sid Squid", or even Bear :)
i really hope i don't go into labour then :shock:

[joshmac]

Haha! Baby bear :lol:

[Tara]

Haha! Baby bear :lol:

don't even go there god can you imagine it would be just my luck - don't worry Messie i can't be two months early - can I? ;) where is the nearest hospital anyway :shock:

Soulkiss what are the essex names for boys then?

Dazza, Gazza and Brad are the options.

[kitkat]

great :shock: not a chance in hell of calling our child any of those

[joshmac]

:lol:
#Awaits any Dazzas, Gazzas or Brads on the forum to enter#

[joshmac]

Come to think of it there are a few Darrens and few Garys, one is in the GM ;) I'll break the news to him gently :lol:

[Tara]

darren and Gary are fine its dazza and gazza that are not!!! names on the list so far are

sean, ryan, thomas, Michael or Sam

[joshmac]

Ah but you know that Dazza comes with Darren and Gazza with Gary. :lol: OK maybe not.. can't see our red tart of the GM being a Gazza. Hmmm

Michael gets my vote.

[Tara]

not sure to be honest my nephew is called Michael but we shall see

[kitkat]

thats one of problems working in schools, you associate names with kids.

ryan - 6 year old from hell that nearly had all staff handing in notice
sam - wuss whose dad walked him to school and kissed him at gate when he was 12
sean - irish (like ex hubby)
michael - what i would have been called if i had been a boy
thomas - the tank

lol saying that they all go with surname. considering its a strange surname (no offence meant) most names go with it.

[SoulKiss]

not sure to be honest my nephew is called Michael but we shall see

David is always a good name :)

For some reason shortening it to Dave almost always gets a good response from people - not many people have had a bad experience with a Dave, which is a fact I exploit from time to time.

I was always David when I was at home - well it made sense so as not to get confused with my dad - who was Dave :) - oh and my Grandad on my dads side was also a David :)

See, a cracking name :)

He's right you know ;)

[Tara]

[joshmac]

So's mine. See, it IS a popular name ;). Although it could get a bit confusing having two cousins with the same.

it won't be David sorry guys. i still like Logan but Falc isn't keen :smt019

I think thats on the Chav list.......... Might as well call him Optimus Prime.........

[Von Teese]

Awww be nice!! Poor T, I dont envy you in this task.
Did you want something traditional or something new and exciting?

If all else fails remember what I said at the BBQ...

Can never be as bad as naming the child where it was conceived....'Paris, Brooklyn'

And then there was always the hippie Phoenix family...River, Leaf...etc, I would not be a happy girl (excuse the pun) 'growing' up called LEAF!!

Did you have a look at that website I sent you, they are Traditional names with meanings, some are quite good.

Thanks hun not looked yet but we will this weekend :D

[Dicky Ticker]

I think that a first name needs to flow with the surname so as no surname is mentioned a bit unfair to criticize or suggest.

[Tara]

i can't argue with that but as most of the people that have already commented know me they know my surname, which is Hooper

[Von Teese]

Thanks hun not looked yet but we will this weekend :D

There's absolutely loads on there, you will probably need the whole weekend lol, but the good thing is that the meanings are on there too, which I thought was nice.


By the way..Logan - http://www.behindthename.com/name/logan

But I was looking at combining the meanings of your names to get some sort of catagory which I thought would be nice

Falc - http://www.behindthename.com/name/wayne

Yours - http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?nmd=n&terms=tara&submit=Go

Not so sure where we can find a name meaning wagonmaker on a hill though.

I do like the second version of the meaning of your name though.

[Tara]

the indian version is much nicer than the irish version although i am named after the irish version apparently

thanks :D we will be looking at these at the weekend

[wyrdness]

don't even go there god can you imagine it would be just my luck - don't worry Messie i can't be two months early - can I? ;) where is the nearest hospital anyway :shock:

Soulkiss what are the essex names for boys then?

Maldon Hospital would be closest. All of the best people were born there.

[Tara]

Maldon Hospital would be closest. All of the best people were born there.

thanks for that - just in case like, i am hoping it won't come to that

[dirtydog]

female buddha lol!

[plowsie]

Winston

[SoulKiss]

By the way..Logan - http://www.behindthename.com/name/logan

My mum comes from a place named Logan.

[Graciepants]

i like ryan from your list - have you boughhht baby name books? i've seen a few of a friends who was having a baby and they are scarily big!

how about alex?

ps the dave this is right strangely!
pps i know im not in the GM but i did turn up for one of your meets!!

[Tara]

female buddha lol!

and thats what i look like right now i look like i have a giant beach ball strapped to my stomach everywhere else is the same size

yeah we have books but they are soo big and daunting Alex was on the list as for Winston, Plowsie No

[Tara]

My mum comes from a place named Logan.
i do like that name still i just have to persuade falc

[madness]

I'm a strong believer that the name that you give your kids will influence their personality. Don't call your kid Quentin or Roderick, he won't thank you for it in later life. I'd go for something fairly traditional and a name that can easily be shortened. Johnathon, David, Michael, Christopher, Stephen etc. If you want some thing unusual, I'd keep it for the middle name.

[dizzyblonde]

darren and Gary are fine its dazza and gazza that are not!!! names on the list so far are

sean, ryan, thomas, Michael or Sam

sean -ok.
Ryan- hear way too many chavvy teenagers shouting that round here, defo on the chav list.
Thomas- the tank- but Tom is cool for short
Michael- bit old fashioned- Micks an old blokes name
Sam- ok-but you call a dog that.

My sons called Dylan Connor. Dylan was a very uncommon name seven years ago, but now every horrid tart calls their kid that:( People always think I named him after Bob, or Thomas, but no the magic roundabout:cool:

[madness]

Michael- bit old fashioned- Micks an old blokes name


:(

[dizzyblonde]

:(

oops sorry:smt052 I meant for a baby....
reminds me of grumpy old Mick at work...
Ok gets shovel and digs a big hole8-[:smt073

[Von Teese]

Name the baby competition?? What does the winner get Tara??

[Tara]

what a great idea - i'll have to think of something for a prize. so how about

Sean Logan John Hooper (john going to be in the middle name as my dad has got two girls and the family name will die out with him and my mother)

[fizzwheel]

Yours - http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?nmd=n&terms=tara&submit=Go

Not so sure where we can find a name meaning wagonmaker on a hill though.

I do like the second version of the meaning of your name though.

Theres also a third meaning...

Drinks to much and then falls asleep really early

;)

[SoulKiss]

Good job you are an X-men fan and not a Super Mario one....

Otherwise it could be

Koopa Trooper Hooper

[Tara]

[plowsie]

Bore :smt019

What about Damien/on?

[Tara]

[Tara]

What about Damien/on? After The Omen.

yeah that works

[SoulKiss]

don't falc is a mario fan :o

What do I win :)

[kitkat]

If Libby had been a boy she would have been Scot (because I am one)
Connor's middle name is James after my grandad

I like traditional boys names. I think girls can get away with stupid names easier than boys. But always think about what the name will be shortened.

Prize - win the baby? lol

i do agree with you about traditional names but we'll see we need to narrow it down a bit now but i guess we still have time :-s

[kitkat]

yeah loads of time. know lots of people that had picked names. took one look at baby (once the gunk was cleaned off it) and changed their mind as baby didnt look like the name they had picked. saying that babies dont look particularly good when first born - most would be called ET if named immediately after birth (not referring to eviltwin either)

http://www.parenting.com/article/Pregnancy/Relationships/Best-Baby-Names-2009

[Tara]

thanks for the link KK we'll think of something soon enough

[_Stretchie_]

Nicoma Ponsonby Smallpiece the third.

[timwilky]

I always wanted to call mine Geronimo, but the missus didn't like it.

He grew up being called divot. a golf term for a little sod

[_Stretchie_]

I had several names growing up, all triple barrel and the first names were ALWAYS

YOU LITTLE

[Tara]

[joshmac]

Luke/Lucas is much better than Harry ;) (not that it's my baby :lol:)

[TazDaz]

[joshmac]

That's already been thrown out, Dazza :razz:

[Von Teese]

Hmm Im sure I can come up with something

so how about

Sean Logan John Hooper (john going to be in the middle name as my dad has got two girls and the family name will die out with him and my mother)

Thats quite nice actually but like Josh said, not our baby so if you two are happy with that then thats what is important.

[Tara]

oh its changed again since then :rolleyes:

[Von Teese]

lol T !!!
I'm definately going to find out the sex when we decide to have children seems like you need all the extra time to choose a name, not that I blame you, its a big decision.
I was lucky my Mum had been trying for 6 years so she had already decided long ago what my name would be, I like it anyway x

[Tara]

we have a name if the baby is a girl - we just can't find a name for a boy

[maviczap]

Current fashion is to name it where it was concieved, chelsea, brooklyn, paris, berlin, cleethorpes, skegness :D

[Tara]

poor child would get Bracknell Hooper

[maviczap]

I can imagine an American child being called that if it's parents had aspirations of it appearing on TV having watched the closing credits on some of the disney stuff I have to watch.

But for an English boy, no it would be cruel :laughat:

My nephews are James, Andrew & Nicholas all nice names :smt038

yep we have talked about James and Nick :D

[maviczap]

I can remember holding all my nephews in my arms, now they all tower above me!

Nicholas was and still is the sweetest nephew, although my brothers boy is even nicer, according to my daughter. He's Tommy, but he's only 12

[TazDaz]

So it's a definite "no" to Dazza?!?

I've always liked the name Dylan myself.

[Von Teese]

Yikes!

[Tara]

we like that too

we just need to get our act together now

[dirtydog]

we just need to get our act together now


I would say you've already done that otherwise you wouldn't be thinking of baby names ;)

[maviczap]

We had the same problem if it was going to be a boy. My brother in law kept saying it should be Maxamillian. Luckily Hannah popped out, same suggestion for number 2. Luckily Rachel popped out (quite literally)

He got his wish with his own

[Von Teese]

I would say you've already done that otherwise you wouldn't be thinking of baby names ;)

:rolleyes: How naughty DD!

[joshmac]

:smt043 Completely missed that the first time I read it

[Raf]

Ohhh can I have a go? Here are my suggestions:

Willard
Julius
Julian
Albert
Christian
Leonard
Bernard
Ernest
Oliver
Percival
Alessandro
Nevill
Leon
Bruce
Sheldon
Douglas
Arnold
Theodore
Walther
Arthur
Maurice

And finally for falc:
Shigeru ;)

[Grinch]

Daniel's a great name.

[joshmac]

I wonder what made you say that.. :lol:

[dizzyblonde]

Current fashion is to name it where it was concieved, chelsea, brooklyn, paris, berlin, cleethorpes, skegness :D

How about Telford or Jackson....yep they are real names. One is a little boy whos sister 'angel' is in my sons class, the other one of the chavs on the street......goes with his cousins names of Ellie Mae, Billy Joe, Stevie Lea=;

[Dicky Ticker]

"Ross" is a name you can't do much damage to by shortening it

[joshmac]

There's an unfortunate insult which rhymes with ross(er) though ;)

[Von Teese]

Good Lord! I thought that University Level Chemistry was complicated!!

[Tara]

:lol:

thanks for the suggestions guys only 3 months to go now unless i end up giving birth at the AR ;)

[Viney]

I reckon Billy Bob Hooper! He should by a pick up truck and live in the Mid west of the US

[Scoobs]

Another vote for Dylan. Dylan Hooper has got a good ring to it. You could be a rock star or an artist with the name Dylan Hooper.

i actually like that :D

[Von Teese]

[falc]

Dylon seems hot favourite at the moment then! Welsh name meaning son of the sea...

[Tara]

[Tara]

just call him "shutup" or "go to sleep" save confusing the wee soul with other words lol

[Von Teese]

I thought it was Dylan?

Isnt Dylon a type of fabric Dye?

Edit...hmm yes it is... http://www.dylon.co.uk/products.html

[joshmac]

[TazDaz]

So...if the name ends up being Dylan, the important question is, what have I won?!?! :)

[Von Teese]

So...if the name ends up being Dylan, the important question is, what have I won?!?! :)

Oh didnt we tell you, the prize is to be babysitter for Tara and Falc on a regular basis :D

[joshmac]

Darren mate, I'm sure you'd be great :lol:

[dizzyblonde]

Dylan is a super name...but then I'm biased, its my sons name.

However....Dillon(the other spelling) is rubbish.

sorry if theres anyone named Dillon here. Its just my preference
