them kids are gonna be beaten up more times than they have a hot meal and all because of their names poor children

yep many of times when cal was younger we've been called into school because he was being bullied and beaten up

Neave,
They are!  They can be absolutely horrid, especailly when they team up with other kids...ugh.

kids are heartless cruel little devils

Neave,
Right?!  Maybe they weren't thinking at all.  Surely, they'd remember being ridiculed as kids, so why they'd want to saddle a kid that way is unimaginable. 
Even if they were popular as kids, at some point they must have been on the receiving end of that ridicule kids love to dish out.  Kids are so cruel to each other.

yeah so do i feel so sorry for kids who have strange and you -neek names what on earth were their parents thinking

Neave,
Sure would.  That's not a good way to go, particularly for a kid who can't fit in.  I feel soooooo bad for kids with "you-neek" names today. 
Melanie  (cat slave and Official Feline Can Opener) =^.^=

it would seem to be that way

Neave,
Oh, no, poor Cal!    I can completley understand...I was bullied as a kid, too.    Did the mean kids ultimately stop, I hope?

Neave,
Right?!  APPLE?!  I thought that one was beyond the pale.  And the thing is, nobody ever thinks about how this will affect the kids, they just name them crazy names.  Big time celebrities probably have a better chance of protecting their kids from the wrath of other kids, but for some poor kid who whose parents aren't celebrities, what are they supposed to do, get beat up all the time?! 
Melanie  (cat slave and Official Feline Can Opener) =^.^=

haha yeah i know some of the names celebrities call their kids is just ridiculous like apple why would you call a kid after a piece of fruit and a piece of technology :p

Neave,
LOL!  At least none of those are weird Hollywood kinds of names...some of those are cringe-worthy!  Some names are simply not meant to be for people or even pets.  Shudder.  I picture those kids 20 years later, crying in their therapists' offices over what terrible names they have!

yeah there is he's always known that princess diana was my childhood hero and even he likes diana marie grace so yippe i think we're sorted nicky had no say with cal or shane or noah lol 

Neave,
I remember that, too.    Such a horrifically sad day. 
Hmm, can you simply overrule Nicky on that?    If you don't like it, I don't see how he should get his way...isn't there something you can both agree on?
Melanie  (cat slave and Official Feline Can Opener) =^.^=

yeah because nicky is not getting his choice of name ugh nicole is a horrid name in my opinion and far to french for my liking i don't like the french just because of the fact that it was on their soil princess diana was killed in that fateful car crash on 31st august 1997

Neave,
Oh, no!  :O  Are you going to look online for some names? 
Melanie  (cat slave and Official Feline Can Opener) =^.^=

that's easy to pretend not to know hehe i had choosen elsa grace and nicky had choosen nicole marie and then i thought about and went d'uh everyone would say she's the snow queen so no i'm now without a name choice and i don't like nicole 

Neave,
Awwww, how cool!    Glad you found out...now you just have to pretend you don't know! 
Do you have names picked out?
Melanie  (cat slave and Official Feline Can Opener) =^.^=

haha a friend of mine who's a midwife was round yesterday for coffee and scones while nicky was at soccer with cal and she looked at me and then at the bump and went that's a girl

Neave,
Can  you have the doctor tell you, with the understanding that nobody will tell Nicky?
