    Wow! I am so completely saddened to see some members that I have respect for being downright disrespectful in this thread. Duckyboos happens to be a close friend of mine both on and off BB. Okay, so her friends choice in names may not be what you would choose for your own child, but why be so disrespectful to her choices? An honest question was asked and so far, all I have seen is a whole lot of ridicule. Very sad. Someone JOKINGLY asked about some strange name combinations and got more respectful answers than I have seen here. Very sad

    Sorry K. I hope your friend finds the perfect name for her bub

    I found this thread hilarious I guess it's easy for me to laugh as I'm not the one needing help with names.
    I think Zebedee is a nice name for a boy, but these days it sounds like a girls name.

    FWIW I think it's just as valid suggesting Kikkoman or Rogan Josh as a name as deliberately saddling a poor child with an unpronounceable, impossible-to-spell, random grouping of vowels and consonants as a moniker.

    Remember her friend isnt a member of BB and cant see the fun girls are having while tossing idea's around, which may actually result in a name !

    TBH your right Lisa, there was another "joke" thread started about names, that members gave time out of their day to reply to, and I thought pffft when I bothered replying, only to find it was a joke, Thats probably why members may have asked "is this serious"

    How can you call having fun "absolutly revolting", no one is being hurt, the pregnant lady isnt reading this, I think its "absolutly thoughtful" that everyone is putting in suggestions. Fun and serious

    How do you know she won't join so she can read it? and what about other people who are new and see this kind of behaviour? Do you think it's going to encourage them to post if they think they may be ridiculed for their choices?

    Also, just because someone can't see that you are mocking them doesn't make it ok. Just like calling an overweight person a "fat slob" behind thier back isn't ok. (that's an example, I don't actually think like that about anyone)

    That'd all I'm going to say, this wasn't the purpose of the thread and IMO it's been derailed enough already.

    I have been on BB for years and never once have I felt like Im stuck in a chair with someone standing over me,, pointing their finger, yelling at me . UNTIL NOW !

    How about Indian city names?
    Calcutta
    Bombay
    Dehli
    DumDum
    Hyderbad
    Sinnar

    There's a list on wiki and some of them look totally made up.

    What about Tiger? There are lots of tigers in India.
    or Chilli? They use chilli in Indian cooking.

    Mine's a serious one -
    I have a 30-odd year old friend whose names is 'Harsh'. I believe the traditional Indian spelling is Hersch.
    I love it
    When we met he had only been Australia for 1 year and his English was still coming together, but he told me he couldn't tell me his name because it was rude in English
