I can’t wait until her niece Honey is an adult, in the working world and her co-workers, who presumably will have even more awareness of what constitutes office harassment in the next 15-20 years, have to go around calling her “Honey”.

Oof that’s such a good point. People really need to think of their future children as adults in adult situations when they name them! “Honey, can I see you in my office?” 🤮 it sounds pervy and/or overfamiliar.

Grey has never sounded good though, even on a little baby. Grey! What the hell was she thinking? I have never ever heard of a person called Grey. Surely with colour based names you’d want something vivid and full of light, not dull and the literal most boring “colour” you can have?

Out of all of those names Grey is the most “quirky” tbh. Lily is ridiculous

also saw this comment

Why does Lily always think she needs to do something because it’s “a thing”?? Newsflash Lily, you don’t need to have 2 children (or even one for that matter, and you also don’t need to pick matching names for them, just do whatever the duck you like!

LOL her middle sister has sweet tooth - Bailey, Honey, Rocco (Coco? sounds like some chocolate to me)

I don't mind Soren and Asa. haha

HAHA ONS did an analysis of the baby names in the UK.

Sorry if anyone of you named your kid Ava, I will never name mine Ava because it reminds of Caroline Hirons :censored::censored: Mia and Sienna from Family Fizz, nah....:censored::censored:

There was a well-known realtor in the town I grew up named Gray and my mom hated her because, when we were selling our house, the realtor’s marketing materials of our house made mention that my mom’s decorating style was “dowdy”. I will never forget that 🤣

Video summary
1. They want to do the garden but not yet. She wants raised beds because #keepingupwiththenewtons
2. Loft extension coming this year (office/spare room)
3. 5 year plan - keep doing this and maybe start a business when kids at school (I think lily knows this industry won’t last)
4. How difficult it is to find a name that goes with grey
5. They’re going to repaint the kitchen and get a bigger fridge
6. She mentions the peloton usage and says that even if she doesn’t use it that much it’s more exercise than she has done
7. Discusses finding it hard to know what her “niche” is and gives examples of other people

I dunno, overall it was a bit of a snooze fest. Nothing new or different that she hasn’t put on Instagram or the podcast.

8. she wants a veg patch lol.. OKAY
 
Well that video was the definition of click bait.

She does't have a 'thing' because she doesn't know who she is. I'd get it if her 'lifestyle' content was inspiring, beautifully shot and well considered but she can't even be bothered to take the time to teach herself how to use the fancy cameras she just sold. It wouldn't be so obvious that she doesn't have a 'thing' if the content she did produce was consistent, relevant and appealing. She got into the 'influencer' game when it was new and so didn't have to put too much in but got a lot out. Now the market is saturated with people who actually get joy from doing it (or understand the game more than Lily) and it's becoming more obvious that she can't be arsed to put in the effort. If her 'thing' is vlogging (I really didn't understand what she meant by this) then she should've had the awareness to put Grey into some sort of childcare (childminders and nannies are a thing Lily - you don't have to narrow down your options to the nursery you sister sent her kids to) and concentrated fully on getting back into vlogging.

On her five year plan - the business she wants to do is totally property renovation - she has got the kind of money to go into this sort of business but not the common sense to execute it. The woman is constantly living in the past or living in the future. She can't just be in the present.

I don't think Teddy is an unusual name, although I would say it's far more common in the UK as a boys name rather than a girls name. Same with Grey. I don't think Grey suits a girls name - it works better as a boys name.

She mentioned she likes 'Rae' as a name for a girl. Luna Rae would have worked better as a name for Grey. Or even Luna Grey. Grey Luna just doesn't work for me. Hey, at least she didn't go with Grey Rae.

hasn't rae been mentioned by caroline hirons as a middle name for like four generations of women in her family??

It's a horrendous name for a kid lol, it must be the family trait. I don't know why she's so confident that fertility is just a breeze or something that is owed to her. I came across Elle Fowler's recent video about her fertility issues, apparently there has been a very sad situation and sitting through that video, even as a person who doesn't want kids was utterly heartbreaking. I wouldn't wish it on anyone who wants children but Lily really needs to calm tf down with her holier than thou, arrogant attitude about parenthood and conceiving.

Rich really should have put his foot down on the name issue and saved his child from such a terrible name. Then again, we all know that Rich has never put his foot down on anything ever.

Or maybe Rich likes the name too. Ha. What am I saying? As if Rich was given a say in any of this!

I sometimes think that Lily regrets the name Grey (just like she regrets almost everything she's done to her house) and that's why she often refers to Grey as 'she' and 'her' instead of actually saying her name.

Lily mentioned that Rae is Caroline's middle name. She also mentioned that Rae is Ruth Crilly's daughters middle name.

I thought it was Asa, a Jewish boy’s name. Like Asa Butterfield.

Yeah, it's Asa. I didn't know any of Lily's sisters kids names until this thread (clearly!)
