Erm..no I wouldn't....and by the way I also know dogs with those names.


Zoe is always a dogs name to me as well.

No croc! you are supposed to tell me its ok! lol

I'm sure there are dogs out there called Jennie

Haha sorry I agree with croc. When I was pregnant I fancied Archie for a boy ( ) but my sister in law has a pup called that so it was vetoed. Luckily it was a girl

And young Archina is doing very well

W had a dog called Jen when I was a kid....

Mind you my mum bred dogs so we had a dog called most things at some point....we had a Charlie, a William, Butch (though I'm sure thats not a name you'd considered!)

My eldest has the same name as a dog we once had.

I can't think of anything but the drink when I hear Bailey - sorry!

I'd also use them both as dog names -again, sorry

Seems i'm not gonna get my way, i still have to make Daddy realise he likes these names as well as tell myself its ok, i mean the person with the dog Riley we see about once a year fgs.

Loads and loads of people seem to have dogs with both my kids names... and my name.

But my daughters name especially, which is Molly.   I know its really really common now.. but when I chose it it wasn't,.  I'd actually wanted to call her Holly, but someone beat me to it..... the GP looked surprised when I introduced him to her... and asked if it was a family name !

Then Philip Schofield had his daughter & called her Molly...  

On my morning dog walk... if I am on time I usually meet a lab called Molly... then a lab called Katie (my name)... then Jack Russell called Alfie... my son's name!

I have come to believe that you could call a kid crisp packet and within days get so used to it it seems normal.   

Some of my friends kids have crisp packet type names

I love the name Riley!

Also.. we had a dog called Angus when I was growing up.  Cinds has an Angus & so does Marg.

Yet one of my friends sons mates is called Angus... and he is the cool kid all the girls want to go out with, and all the boys wanna be like!   I never associate him with all the dogs that share his name

I'm never gonna come up with decent names!

I have a tough brief aa the other twos names cant be shortened (even though we call my boy D lol) and there are no other kids in the whole of the primary school with same names. How am i gonna pull that off again??

Another name i like for a girl is Alana

I know what you mean Ditty...I was trying to explain  that to my neighbour, Ready Salted's mum, but she didn't seem to get the point!

Had Molly been a boy she would have been called Spike!  which I have just realised is also a dogs name.

Is it a gril Jen?

(Sorry those names could be for either so i'm not sure)

mmmm... wonder it that would explain the girl at Ickles school they all call Prawn Cocktail

Thanx Ditty, i really like it for a girl but dont think i'm gonna be able to do it.

Saying that by the time baby is born (Aug) i'll probably hate it lol

but if you knew a baby called Bailey you'd soon loose the drink association.  One of my friends... who ended up being single when she had her baby called him Bastian.  That one took quite a bit of getting my head round...

I've a sneeky feeling that might be for another reason!

Dont  know yet, i like Bailey for a boy though. I have first scan on wed, and i'm about 14/15 weeks so they might be able to tell me if they choose to

My daughter loves the name Jamie for a girl.

@ you two

I suppose if you think about it , anything goes these days right enough

There are some random names out there just now.

When I was trying to choose my Mum (nursery nurse) kept saying 'Oh no , I know a such and such and she/he is a nightmare' Eventually I we nt for the most random and unusual name I could think of. Muhaha no one will have that!

I was walking through town the other day behind this mum with a very small (& cute) bright red haired kid.... he was on reigns so I reckon he was 2-3 yrs old.

I laughed out loud (but not in a horrible way) when she said "come on, hurry up Jenson"

oh I dunno... A family member called her son West... I still think its flippin stupid now, and he must be at least 12 And I recently found out a girl I knew years ago has a daughter called Tizzie, WTF?!

My last one I wanted to be a girl so i could have Millie....instead its another Alfie.


Yo have names like Ellis and Taylor that can be for boys or girls

shhhhh Arwen... or fate will come and bite you on the bum!   I told you about my friend who called her daughter Kia... 2 years before the car came out!

When she wants him out does she shout 'GO WEST!'

West, Tizzie... see after saying them both a few times.. yeah I could get used to them.

A kid at my boys school was called Storm... I always giggled at that one

Some people just dont think of the bully/nick name law do they?? Like i also like Alayna for a girl, but in teen years boys saying shes good for A LAY etc. just cos of her name so that ones a no no

Oh don't say that

I am just waiting for a zeleb to choose it for theirs

I don't even think a zeleb would think of it *crosses fingers*

I walked to school behing this woman with a beautiful little girl (again 2/3) she had the cutest blonde ringlets, then her mum call her pourchA... poor thing

Oooh I had that on my list but spelled Alena Maybe that would be a way of getting around it.

hahha, god knows Poor kid

Cars...theres a theme....you don't hear of many kids called Cortina do you?

Not Escort for a girl obvously

Still said the same way though arwen

Lmao i nearly choked laughing there

But Jen...  kids will pull apart every name... Molly used to come home in tears cos the kids used to sing "Molly did a polly on her dolly"... or "Molly put the kettle on".

Alfie nearly hit a kid that kept calling him Elfie.

And yet the girl at my daughters old school... who was quite well known for her extra curricular activities with the boys, was called Billie Joe... AND NO-ONE EVER THOUGHT OF THE OBVIOUS!

car names... 

Morgan, Lexus, Vectra, ....

My Alf went through a phase of inisting on being called Bobby...even his teacher called him it (he was only 5 at the time)
