What might you name your children?

[senojekips]

Being new here, and always in too much of a hurry to bash off an answer, not to mention being an old codger suffering from "old timer's disease" it appears that I have sometimes confused those with whom I am corresponding by answering Colettes questions and directing my answers to Lindsay and possibly the reverse.

This only became apparent after Lindsay PMed me and I went back through the thread. "More haste, less speed", or something to that effect. Once again my apologies.

You are not alone!  A lot of us here suffer from that disease (more haste, less speed)

  Twas me that you slightly (being an understatement) annoyed with your first and second posts spike.

I bet you get into plenty of arguments

Colette,

I firmly believe that the person who said that life is to be taken seriously is a fool. Not everyone who holds a different opinion is having a go at you personally.  After all, this thread is titled "The Lighter side" is it not?

Your opinion (on any matter) is as valued as mine, probably moreso. I never try to take myself too seriously and it will help the blood pressure of those about me if they don't either. At no stage did I ever intend to "wind anybody up", life is too short to go around deliberately putting people offside.

Human frailties being what they are, that will happen without trying, unfortunately. 

Please accept those apologies wrongly aimed at poor Lindsay as having been made to yourself.

I knew that I had offended somebody, it was just that in my haste to apologise I did so to the wrong person.

  Well anyway...I am really glad that my parents did not name me Apple or Peach

Or Blossum, I'm sorry but I hate that one!

Went through tons of names and even bought a book...after months of
deliberation and disgust at having paid good money for a garbage publication
and still no decision....
Hubby said...why not name him after your father?
I can DO that, I asked?   and we did, and tears flew all around when we
announced our newborn's name in a phone call to my dad...

Thanks for the great reading...J.J.

Graceland told us once that he was named after a bird because a particular kind landed on the window sill just as he was born.  He said he'd always been grateful it wasn't a Merlin.  I told him to consider himself lucky it hadn't been a tit!   

My Dad says he wanted to name me Myfanwy Morag (we have no Welsh or Scots connections though) and Mum wouldn't let him.  She named me with a really crap name which I later changed and will not tell you all what it was as there's bound to be people on here either whose name it is or who have loved ones with that name, so I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.  All I will say is that I hated it with a vengeance from when I was very little, and used to cringe in the playground when other children called out my name.  And I changed it when I grew up.  Dad was told he could name the next baby, but the next baby brought a spare with him, so they named one each and to be honest I think between the two of them they did a rotten job of naming the lot of us!

MrsLizzy...tit...that's a lark!  ...loved your reply...I think your parents read my name book.  which included Bozo, by the way    J.J.
