I'm waiting for the Game of Thrones influence to filter through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lashes2508 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Nothing unusual for us although we have a Bertie and I have to be careful to not say Bertie Bassett , I'm terrible for adding or changing names as all the staff have 'special ' rhyming names which the children love. Saying that we have a little girl whose family originate from Ghana, traditionally the children are called nana followed by the day of the week they are born on , an aunty , influential person or grandparent etc as mum explained. Our little girl asked me the other day ' why do you call me nana ? I said because that's what's mummy said to call you , to which she replied ' my name is Akosua not nana, I was very proud of her wanting her own identity and when I told her mum she found it funny and said ' oh ok ' but I call them all nana ' so now we are all making sure we call her by her name or at least nana Akosua - she was born on a Sunday Edited September 20, 2015 by lashes2508 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I have Millie, Lily and Ellie all in on the same day. That gets confusing at nappy time. Ask one to come and you get a different child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I vividly remember one year where we had a lot of children with names that caused me no end of problems.. Niamh, Aoife, Saoirse, Grainne, and add in Sean,Shaun, Shawn, and Andrew x 3 - Destiny and Keanu just added to the mix.. was so glad we had name cards displayed on the wall or I would never have managed to spell any correctly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beth1 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 We have a lot of double barrelled names 3 Maisie -Lea in various formats. One who can't decided between Reily -Jack or Reily. I can't remember first names let alone their barrelled name. Last years group got shortened to first names only, think parents thought we where too confused with so many similar names.
