Talkback: A girl named Brighton

nice idea but she wont half get some flack at school, I get stressed enough and worry because lolas constantly being sung at, the lola songs, fantastic, theyre about a stripper and a showgirl, what did i do to my poor baby!

And the nuemorous amount of twits who think jacks surname is ward GRR

Find it odd people give their children place names just because of conception!!! How many kids would be called 'bed'!!!!!!!!! Lol

I really really wanted to call Tom Elvis!!!! Only my ma ringing m daily begging me not to actually stopped me!!!! I'm not a huge Elvis fan I just like the name!

We do however live on a council estate and I was a little concerned he'd be beaten for it! Should have called Jc Elvis-he can look after himself!!!!! But then of course Tom and Elvis don't really go!!!!!

I love unusual names,as I love classic names,but we have a bit of welsh hating going n with the outlaws so my lads got lumbered with welsh names!!!!! Lol cld have bn worse!!!

Oh yeah Jc was concieved in York,and in this tea room they do a gorgeous scone type cake called the fat rascal.

HOW FITTING IS THAT???????

ha ha lol!!!

well ive no idea with my poor sprouts could have been jack leicester or lola bury?? hospital was wrong with jacks dd and me and andrew still dont remember doing the deed any time around when lola was supposedly conceived

Oooh immaculate conception.

Brighton's only her middle name.Not quite so bad.

We kept Merlin's name quiet cos we were sick of other peoples opinions.We'd wanted to call Arthur Merlin but listened to other people and went with Arthur,which was 2nd choice.As soon as we knew Merlin was a boy we decided his name and that we'd tell no one.MIL  actually phoned up to say you're not calling him that.Took great joy in saying we weren't when I knew we were.People's reaction when you tell them is usually "oh".Don't care,my baby.We get it a bit with Arwen,they ask is it Welsh.We tell them it's Elvish they usually go "that's nice" or again "oh"

Harry was nearly Horatio,after Admiral Nelson.He was so so lucky we saw sense.Merlin nearly had Pendragon as a middle name(King Arthur's middle name).Again lucky escape.

As for place of conception,if you've ever visited Chatham or Gillingham you'd know why we didn't use either,anyway they'd just sound stupid.

Matilda gets sung at,Waltzing Matilda of course but our kids watched a tv show where there was a magic cookery book called Matilda,and there's a song about it.They still sing at her.

Yeah I like merlin,and Arwen. My fave name Jo has is Erin-sorry Jo will copy if I have a girl!!!!!

Think Tom would have been Erin and Jc Nia if they were girlies. But I find it realy difficult to agree with big fella on names,in fact Tom was only boys name we did agree on,doubt he liked the name Joseff as much as me-but tough!!!!

well we were going to have thomas and summer/emily, but as soon as we were told jack was a boy we both said jack, its gotta be jack and that was it, pleased both his grandmas as theyre called jacqui!

with lola roo was adamant on emily but i suddenly hated it, we were convinced she was a boy anyway so i wanted max or alfie but we were sensible and discussed girls names after our 4d scan said maybe a girl, we chose lilah layla aimee and lola, and i was set on lola roo hated it and then suddenly changed his mind at the last minute and im soo pleased there names suit them 100%.

middle names was another issue andrew wanted anthony for his dad, i was ok with that but i wanted alexander for my great grandad couldnt have them together so i had ward for my grandad and lola is ellen after me and my great grandma and grace because i liked it!
