I ran across a pair of twins today. I was helping a friend with some registrations for an after-school type camp she's running, and she gave me a form for a pair of boy/girl twins whose names were:

Pancake (f) and Kaghen (m).

I don't understand.

I know a family who let their 3 year old son name their new dog, and the dog wound up with the name Pancake. I would love to know the story behind how this poor human child ended up with such a name...

My daughter (then 3) named our ferret French Fry. I told her I had a surprise for her at home and when she saw her (she had been begging me for one for forever, and I've always wanted one it, it wasnt an impulse thing) she was like "A ferret? That's not a surprise, french frys are surprises!"

I believe she was in her twenties. I only caught the end of the show.

Forget Aydyn and Kaydyn, breakfast foods are all the rage in baby names!

Bacon is quite a dignified surname, so it could well come in.
Crumpet is quite cutesy.
Cereal even sounds like it could be a name.

One of my friends has a dog named pancake. I think it's a really cute name for a dog...

They are both equally hideous. One for being a mushy breakfast food that (generally) makes people fat and bloated, and the other for sounding like "gag."

For goodness sakes! I feel so bad for poor little Pancake.:( Kaghen isn't much better, but at least it sounds like a name.

"What do you want for breakfast" and "What is your daughter's name" SHOULD NOT HAVE THE SAME ANSWER.

I'm just saying.

Seriously, people, if you want a dog... just get a dog.

I had a kid in camp last summer who was named Lennart but he was called Poppy. Hopefully that's just a nickname??

I cannot stop laughing at Pancake. I mean, that poor child . . . but it's hilarious!

Kaghen is a good match, it's the sound someone makes when choking on a pancake.
