[Opinions] Re: Twins and some funny names
in reply to a message by LMS
A friend of mine works in a NICU too, and she occasionally shares the names of the babies with us too (even though she's not supposed to). So far my favourite of the bunch was a tiny baby girl named Nelly Cookie. Isn't that just too adorable for words??

I think it sounds a bit ridiculous to be honest. Nelly was okay, though it would have been better as a nn, but Cookie? Thats just ugly.

Well, I guess I am a bit two-faced in that I can tolerate iffy names a little more on babies who will probably not live past their fourth birthday....and I think Cookie was her last name. That's another thing to think of - what do you do when the last name is something that would make a first-name choice look foolish in conjunction with it? I'd probably have to throw out three-quarters of my list! Archie Cookie? Ruby Cookie? That wouldn't work.... :)
