    I should think all the articles on her parents behaviour this past year alone should keep her well occupied catching up on family history ,IF she chooses to delve into her family history . What a mess .

    Yes me too, but Robbie Williams called his daughter Theodora and she's Teddy.

    Do you worry about all the comments about Princess's names & nicknames on t'other thread?

    :confused::confused: No should I? Unless I've missed them, I've never seen anyone comment on Princess's name.

    Little Lion has a very carefully thought out name, chosen many years before she was born because of my time at uni studing evolution, Mr Lion and I conducted a search of that name on google, and found that a number of female CEOs had that first name and we are aware of a number of well known female scientists with the same first name too!.

    It is a traditional name, and passed the prime minister name challenge... and everyone we know has said it suits her... her middle name is a family name, running through several generations on both sides of our family... a merging if you will of our heritage!

    If she dislikes one of her names, then at leat she has a back up with a middle name.. I hasten to add that PM Gordon Brown used his middle name, his first name is actually James!

    I am suprised that she has forgotten she has given birth to a human and not a rabbit... its a silly as calling a boy flopsie!

    I was wondering if in true chavtastic taste if she would call her daughter something like Mirrorbelle Sunonsunday OK Price, a name that would allow her to follow in her mothers footsteps.. but no... Bunny... after the middle aged man from TV flop Eldorado:(

    Maybe Bunny will love her name... but if she ever has to make any formal declarations eg wedding vows it may result in some giggles from the audience...

    Are your first two paragraphs taking the piss or are you actually serious? Genuine question btw.

    Oh my ... this thread is hilarious!

    I should think if Bunny gets married in church one day, then pretty much everybody in that church would be friends of her and her husband-to-be and more than familiar with her name and highly unlikely to laugh at it. I would also hope that a bunch of adults in a church would be a little bit more grown up than to giggle at someone's name in that situation.

    Nobody is to "blame" for bullying other than the bullies ... can't believe people would suggest otherwise.

    To quote a recent post which was widely agreed with 'Negativity and ridicule is so damaging for the soul. Positivity rules!' Or does that depend on who the ridicule is aimed at?

    If I were invited to a wedding for someone called Bunny (or another unusual name), I wouldn't giggle, I would have known that person for a while and be used to their name. Its not as if its a name I'd not called them myself numerous times. Hardly a secret middle name which nobody had heard before.

    Of course it is, how naive of me.

    One thing I don't understand is, how can say you're concerned about the ridicule she may face at school (or words to that effect) when you, yourself are mocking her name?

    I'm possibly being naive again but maybe It's adults that have a problem with the name & other kids won't actually give it a second thought.

    The problem with that theory is that little bunny will eventually become an adult and therefore face adult thinking other than mommy's disney themed confuddled view .

    But... why would someone's name impact upon or affect their abilities?

    Are you saying that you yourself would laugh at a boy called Angel on a rugby team?

    No I don't think a name impacts on anyone abilities.:confused: and no,:confused: I thought I had already answered as I said my imagination was not as vivid as some.

    Well I'm an adult & really not sure what I'm supposed to be thinking:confused:

    For now I'm thinking a long bath & bed sounds good so perhaps I'll be enlightened tomorrow.

    Well quite, but I've seen on here that apparently a name on its own is enough to evoke pre-conceptions and ridicule. And lack of manliness and capability, of all things!

    Well ... she was hardly going to call her Deborah, or Rachel, or similar was she?

    Yes I know what the discussion is about. And I've said I like Bunny and I think it's cute.

    Also gotta disagree there. To me, it looks like 'bista' is now Princesses full time name, given to her especially by her daddy dearest. I can't remember the last time TM referenced her by her actual proper name in public or in one of the many, many interviews he sells to OK! It's always 'bista'.

    So, I think Bunny is a prettier and less silly full time name, than BIsta.

    No its all true... we did a lot of research.. there have been lots of studies about how your first name can affect your career opportunities so we wanted to be thorough...

    I am pleased that when my daughter asks why she has the name she has I can explain the careful consideration we gave to such an important task... not that I went to a pet shop and chose her name based on the first animal I saw for sale!

    As does the father - no one in that family comes out of the whole "media ****" debate well.

    The name Bunny is far from the worse we imagined. If the child hates it, she can change it. At least she won't be dragged on stage with Pa every weekend.

    That really would be embarrassing.

    It could have been far worse - wtf were these parents thinking?

    Though surely nothing can beat
    The parents of a New Zealand girl named Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii have been ordered to change her name because it risks making her the target of abuse and ridicule.

    I think Bunny is a cute name. Its quite old fashioned, and is better than that dreadful name Chantelle named her daughter: Dolly.

    As for the bub being bullied, perhaps the parents of other kids should keep their kids in check and teach them some manners. What will happen if they come across children from different cultures where the names are drastically different from western names?

    Personally, I like unusual names but sometimes the names are very try-hard. I know in one african society the child is named after the first thing the mother sees - its been years since ive seen that documentary, so i probably got some details mixed up.

    Well you are wrong, it is not her name therefore your point is moot .
    Her daddy can call her what he pleases in the manner kp calls her latest 'runnerbean' on twitter . It is a nickname and her given name is princess.
    Bunny is not cute unless a nickname . Poor kid .
