I lay in bed with the girls last night and we somehow got to talking about a name for the baby.
It began with some semi-reasonable suggestions, despite the fact that I am not keen to name this poor child after a Barbie movie character or one of the fairy books my girls are so in love with at the moment. Still, at least the first few suggestions were actual names…
Arnica (Barbie Pegasus Movie)
Clara (from the Nut Cracker)
Jeremy or Ian (Boy twins in Barbie Diamond Castle Movie)
Odette (Swan Lake)
Molly (the Goldfish Fairy)
Tasha (The Tap Dancing Fairy)
Then things started getting a little odd…. though all these suggestions were made in total seriousness, and with straight faces…
Bilara (Schleich Dark Fairy)
Oleana (Schleich Light Fairy)
Tulon (Boy Schleich Light Fairy)
Titania (Queen of the Fairies)
Then finally it descended into silliness…
Grabby Crabby or Marty Meddler (‘nasties’ from Captain Mack)
Sneezle (Tree Root Fairy from Fairy books by Wendy Froud)
Hamish the Terrible (from The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett)
Scrunch (???)
And people wonder why I have so much trouble naming my children???
I think we have all those Barbie movies too!
Fortunately, we have a boys name picked out for if and when we ever decide on a second, so Princess G already knows her brother will be Max. Think the girls name is still up for grabs. I’ve chosen one, but I don’t know if it has been agreed to…
Jeremy and Ian are much better names than Derek (from 12 Dancing Princesses), but I couldn’t stand those characters!
You know, if you name your baby any one of those barbie names, ivy will love you for LIFE.
Just sayin’
Muski and Sneezle seem to go.
If you call your baby Arnica I will be forced to rub him/her allover my kids bruises lol.
What happened to Butterfly Marshmallow??
