    Fanny is slang for vagina. And an old fashioned name. That's it. :confused:

    I know that and that it's a traditional name for women, I don't get the idea of an ad based on it, it seems like it's a rubbish idea tbh

    I know women called hope and prudence

    Giving your baby son a name with "Mary" anywhere in it. Used to be pretty common.

    There are a few Isis's out there who have chosen to change their names due to recent happenings. I read that they also killed off the dog, Isis, in Downton Abbey for that reason.

    The yanks use the word fanny for their arse and I do laugh everytime they call a bumbag a fanny pack or say things like "She kicked my fanny".

    Went to college with a Geraldine McGee. Her brother was actually called Ulick. More sniggering ensued.
