I think Paddington/Paddy is a wonderful name. Did you know the Paddington Bear books have been translated into Dutch? .

Do share??? My partner has fallen in love with the name Paddington though.... But he doesn't like the shortened version (Paddy).

Couldn't agree more - Freyja almost never gets called that anymore. She's got stuck with - wait for it - Boo-bi-dee-boo Or Boo-bi, Boo-bs, occasionally Boo-btastic. Not really sure how it's spelt as when you type it looks like I've got a knocker obsession. And of course, Wicca gets called Wickety-Woo, Wicc Wicc, Wacky Wicca... at 2 in the morning when she's going to town chewing my hair, she also gets called Satan's Spawn, but that's less affectionate than Wickety-Woo!

This will go soon enough, although I daresay it will feel like it's dragging. Paddington/Paddy is a great name, and he looks so cute. It's undeniable - looking at other peoples kittens does make you get a bit broody!

Oh my goodness Karen, and I thought we were bad!!!

How did you get from Freyja to Boob? Not a single letter is the same....or maybe I shouldn't ask! Still, I'm probably a worse offender...Larry's latest nickname is Lagwich Sandwich. Anyone cringing yet?

Not got a clue... but it's been my secret name for her since about a week after she got here! I was giving her a cuddle and found myself just calling her it. OH resisted for weeks, but he has now succumbed. Bless her, she actually responds to both!

Lagwich Sandwich is a good one, but my favourite HB nickname is definitely Monty, Monty, What do you Wanty! Even showed that one to OH!

Lol! Love it, I will put it to my partner tonight! 24 hours to go untill 'Ding Man Day'! Yippiiee.

We are going to kitty proof the house tonight, hiding anything remotely breakable. Slightly concerned about my round fish bowl which we have on a tall, narrow fish bowl stand. That would be very messy if that went over. :(

Not long now!!!!! How excited are you? I may just have to wander over and have a cuddle myself :-D
