Well, just to make up to Shakermaker, Emily's photo is amongst one of the better ones and brings out her personality too .. I think she stands a very good chance..

I bet some parents aren't very happy though. Could be something to do with the printing. They had some like these for the groups of revellers in pubs ... made them look like rip roaring dipsos. Seemed to have improved on them, but slips back now and then.

Must have been on my mind last night. In the middle of another dream, had to get this child of about 6 months out of her cot and she was dressed in a red jumpsuit ... dripping white nappy and hadn't been fed. Was having a normal conversation with her to enquire if she would like any breakfast and she requested sausage/egg and chips ! Was trying furiously to get her cleaned up !! Can't remember if I did ..

I had alook at the photos last night, I have never seen such a daft array of names in my life. I will not repeat any here as I post under my name but have a look yourselves folk, some of them are just embarassing, poor kids.

I love reading the names.

People can Eboni-Mae it all they want, but they can't get away from the good old northern surnames like Higginbottom, that they're stuck with.

My nephew is in Luke Stanley Nicholson, obviously the Stanley is to do with Accrington Stanley

lindsay ormerod · 04-04-2008, 18:15

Now that's a sensible name, at least it's not some made up nonsense., or a set of initials.

Apparently babies names derived from txt spk are all the rage.

That's what I thought. I wondered why the Observer felt so thick until I read it and saw 8 full pages of babies. Definitely too much in one go.

I tell ya something that happened to me this morning.

Walking kids up to school and there was this big mouthed mother " OY, get away from that f'in road " I thought " OMG, what a way to shout at your kids"

Then further up the street she shouts " SHAKIRA, I said get away from that F'in road "

That just said it all for me, I nearly chocked on my laughter.

Poor child. Kids like that are doomed from the start, aren't they?

Bet her mum used to let her eat a pastie out of a paper bag when she was in her pushchair.
