well you know what Juno will get called :-D

(look up ...)


I had a good friend at uni called Aino ... a Latvian name ... pronounced of course "Aye No"

what's your name?
Aino
of course you do ... now tell me ...


me I think we can point fingers at anybody who names their child something just because it was in a movie or a vampire series on television or some celebrity made it up ...

I ran into someone recently who was considering calling their child Jaxon ... I was horrified, what is that, something from Star Wars? then I realised it was just a perversion of Jackson probably, and the GRO index now shows 201 of them.

uh oh, I am not alone ...

including the short and sweet 'Perfect for the illiterate and the chronic texter.'
my thoughts exactly

oh look, somebody says you can even spell a simple name like Ava 'Ayvah' - watch out !!

I wonder what all the poor babies named Mafeking in 1901 ended up being called during their lives?

by their middle names if they were lucky enough to have one I would surmise!

If it was a boy - it would have been Ridley because Sir Ridley Scott is evidently a cousin of my d-i-l's family.

I don't think my wonderful son, Tom, has a say in this naming business, actually :-(

They haven't actually asked me yet what I think and I don't know what I'm going to say when they do. Knowing me, I shall have to be honest :-(

Eva is a lovely name - fingers crossed :-)

Their other possible choice is Eva . . . I'm saying a little prayer :-)

I guess it's not for us to question what our children choose as names for their children but I really don't like the name Juno. Perhaps they will change their minds. Thankfully my grandchildren have very simple names.

That's what my youngest daughter thought Prickles, until I gave her my opinion.

I think she could be teased at school . . .

Example - What's your name? Answer - Juno. Reply - No, I don't, that's why I'm asking. :-(

What do you think?
