Champagne supermother?
I met my heavily pregnant friend for afternoon tea the other day. Inevitably, the conversation turned to baby names.
Perhaps you should call the baby Chardonnay or Cosmopolitan I quipped, referring to some of our favourite tipples. ‘Don’t joke’ she replied ‘Someone in my pre-natal classes already has twin girls called Moët and Chandon.’
Shouldn’t there be a law to stop this kind of thing?

Yes there should. If I were to be named after a wine, I would want it to be something very expensive, like ‘Nuit Saint George’, know what I mean?

Hee hee, Roman Empress. Yes, I think I’d just settle for something like ‘Armani’ for that extra touch of class. Although I always liked the idea of ‘Araldite’ as a name…

Is that er… Mad Dog, Ill Man? Surely the Glasgow tipple of choice is Buckfast. Sorry, stereotypes you know…

I never understood the name ‘Noilly Pratt’ It’s really not tempting me in with that queasy moniker

Planet Mondo - I have a bottle of Noilly Pratt at home, and the lack of romantic qualities in its name might play a role in the fact that I don’t need to replace it too often. Noilly Pratt would be a great name for a villian in a Dickens novel. Like Uriah Heep.
BLTP - Dirty Martini is yours. Unless you’d like ‘Slippery Nipple’ instead…
