I'm just so proud.

My six-year-old niece sat for about forty minutes on Nymbler the other day choosing names for her unborn sibling

Now I just have to work on her taste - most of them were traditional names that were misspelt

Very cute - now Auntie Robbie needs to teach her the naming rules!

Hehe! Lessons will begin immediately

At one point I heard her laughing hysterically, and I entered the room to ask what she'd found. She just about fell off her chair laughing before pointing to the name "Zed" on the screen and saying, "That's not a NAME, it's a LETTER! Who calls their baby a letter??" She didn't come down from that one for about five minutes or so. She kept trying to regain her composure but giggles kept busting out So funny!

I have a 6 year old name nerd. She tends to like the more traditional names, a bit like me.

There is a boy in her class called Chase, she said to me, "Mum, Chase isn't a proper name, is it?"

We recently bought our 2 year old a baby doll. We asked what her name was and she replied... 'uurrggghhhh' (It was the sound when you push out a poo, that was closest spelling I could think of).



She is still sure that is the babies name.

My 2 year old has twin dolls that talk to one another. She has named the boy Basil. I went through about 50 more traditional names and she kept saying "No Mummy!"

Then I said Basil as a joke and she LOVED it and said yes right away!
The girl doll does not have a name other than "Baby."

Liz - the girl should be Rosemary

My 2 yr old DD has one doll called 'Buggy' and another called 'Pomas" (like Thomas with a P). She named them herself. I have no idea where she got the names from....

I still have my doll I got when my sister was born......definately a girl doll, but I called her 'Sally James'
Apparantly if a "girl wants to be called James as a middle name she can" was my response to most questions!

Bit like Gary Anne

That is what DH said. But Rosemary is still on our list of names for this baby!

DS got a build a bear when he was 3 and named him phone.
