Have I got this right? They have been together for 12 years, since the OP was 18, but it's her house?
And lovely friend (LF) will post on Mumsnet when the OP is indisposed - complications with the pregnancy perhaps?
And it will turn out that lovely friend was catfishing OP as the boyfriend so she could steal OPs babies.
The main issue seems to be how she is pronouncing Desiree, who knew there were so many different ways, but the way they spell the pronouncinations out all look and sound the same to me
. I'm surprised they all seem to love the name though, thought it would have on a definite chavvy American name list 
Love that thread!
I've got a woody To be fair naming babies is bloody hard. MrBasket and I have very different taste in names - he likes plain and a bit retro, whereas I like quite MN style names. Our daughter has a name, but it took us the whole six weeks to reach a consensus, and as a result she's just called Bob by everyone instead.
Thread title suggestionLove that thread!
Everyone is saying it's ag for an erection and someone replied 'well I've got a woody and I've never heard that'
It’s like decreeing the grandparents WILL be called noona and papap before they’re born
I know someone IRL whose son is named Woody. Most of us went "Oh like the cowboy," whereas I instantly thought of erections.
That is my favourite ever episodeSo I take it you’ve seen the IT Crowd’s iconic episode “work night out”?
willies, I love willies
Critics say: “Gay, the musical - not as gay as some musicals”.
And also Kate Bush's "Babushka" except nobody knows that one because you can't make out the actual words
Dèsirèe is French, so right up Mumsnet's alley.The main issue seems to be how she is pronouncing Desiree, who knew there were so many different ways, but the way they spell the pronouncinations out all look and sound the same to me
I really, really hope that when you say 'Bob' you do an impersonation of Rowan Atkinson saying it in Blackadder.To be fair naming babies is bloody hard.

Bob quite suits her though, and my boys have changed the words to Chuggington to 'Bobbington' which she quite enjoys them singing to her.
One of my favourite Wikipedia articles is the Tiffany Problem, where it goes on to list names that are decades or centuries old but we think of as modern. Also I love telling people that there was an Amanda recorded in 1212 in Britain. I just like thinking of parents back then using a name related to the concept of being loved as the name for their precious daughter. I get emotional over stuff like that, kind of like I can't look at any images of cave paintings where people have recorded their handprints without tearing up.Dèsirèe is French, so right up Mumsnet's alley.
It's an older name than people think - Sweden had a Queen Desiree in the 18th century!
It's a bit like the Tiffany problem - the name Tiffany goes back to the middle ages but writers can't get away with using it in historical fiction because it seems too modern.
Yes, I am a boring b, thanks for asking
I’m the world’s worst story teller but I was telling my mum about this episode back when I first watched it and she was crying laughing just from my rehash of it. That’s a sign of a good episode!
Do you have a view on pantomimes? There's not much/any singing in a panto but they're also on my love list.
