"Alternative" Names worth having another baby for....

if only for the amusement it would provide....

Monster
Beest
Heliotrope
Spam
Doggerel/Dogerella/Dogerelle/D'Ogerrel
Apostrophe. that's awesome

and we ever end up "blessed" again, we are really, truly calling it Trouble. or maybe even T'Rouble pronounced t-roo-blay just to start it off on the right foot....

I've always thought Greek letters would make nice names, and they're so easy to write.

Omega would be a good one.

Oh how cool, hadn't considered them before. Althought there's Catherine Zeta Jones....

I wonder if Epitome would be good?

I'll be naming a new cat at the end of the month.
I'm thinking along the lines of Dutch names as I don't want Diz to be jealous.

Mip maybe.

I think you should use your maiden name as the new child's name. Proper old family tradition which you can pretend is feminist.

Or the town of your birth.

I think Aylesbury (mine) would be quite a cool girl's name. Unless the child grew up there.

Aylesbury would be a pretty name.

Willaura (mine) would not

Bramhall... it's a thought. Stockport would be worse... I wouldn't inflict my maiden name on my worst enemy ...or Radar's children. There's a damn good reason why I changed it when I married, and it's nothing to do with conforming....

You could always name them like a pedigree cat!

Monster's Spamfeast of Beest for example.
Okay - I admit, I don't really undertsand how pedigree names work. If someone can come up with a better template I'm happy to adhere to it.

At present my daughter would be
Cherry's Aylesbury Blush
Because I wouldn't know where she was from. And I'd love it if she was a kitten after all.

My son would just be Felix Elvis Peter [surname] because that's already decided! Except he'd probably be the second coming, given that I haven't had sex in nearly two years.

I think I have to add budweiser to the list.

In the UK they always say to see how names sound prefaced with princess or prince.

President Budweiser Beestmonster has a good solid ring to it, doesn't it. You could trust President Bud. Spam sounds a bit weak though. Spamela? President Spamela Beestmonster, first female president of the US? Spamela should be a real name. hey Bri, when you get published you should use it as your nom de plume. Spamela Cellarite.
