to call my DS "Tarquin Fin Tim Lim Bin FTang FTang Ole Biscuit Barrell"

[slippysofa]

... and expect him to have friends?

[YouTheCat]

That's a beautiful name.

[ventilatormum]

think he'd be ok without the Ole - or are you spanish?

[LRDtheFeministDragon]

Chavvy and common.

[ginmakesitallok]

It rolls off the tongue and has suh lovely initials

[YouTheCat]

Or Python?

[KatamariDamacy]

Too silly. How about Kevin Philip Bonggg?

[LineRunnyEgg]

Reginald Maudling is lovely, too.

We had a FTang FTang variant for DS too
Baby brain hormones made me settle for a more regular combination at registration which is a shame as there are at least two others in the class which would never have been a problem if we'd stuck with the original!

[LorettaMasonPotts]

Ok, but personally I prefer Zingelbert Bembledack Yingybert Dambleban Zangelbert Bingledack Wingelbert Humptyback Slut Bunwalla..

[EggsPressYourself]

There are two kids in my DS1 class with the same name - I think it's faddy.

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

Yanbu. tis your baby and nobody else should have a say. I have to say though...not too keen on the Barrell bit....could you consider something more normal there? Maybe Tarquin Fin Tim Lim Bin FTang FTang Ole Biscuit BAKER instead?

[WorriedMummy73]

How about Strangely Brown?

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

DD2 aged 5 is currently lying beside me and she suggests "Mr Knobbly" as a good name for a baby boy. Her opinion should count for something I think.

[apostropheuse]

It's a bit pretentious. Drop the second Ftang perhaps?

[TheCraicDealer]

Perhaps you might want to pronounce "biscuit" like the . Makes it a bit different, know what I mean?

[LeggoAcubunnyture]

There are three of those in our local school. It's the new Jack!

[WorriedMummy73]

DD wanted to call DS1 'Doogie' (after the dog on Smarteenies - anyone else remember that on CBeebies?). DS1 wanted to call DS2 Peppa Pig (if he was a girl) and Baby Jesus (if a boy).

My suggestion was Megatron for DS2 - I thought it was a strong, powerful name that speaks of leadership qualities. DP did not agree...

[lakeofshiningwaters]

I've taught several of these and they're always naughty...

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

Good idea Craic! She could spell Tarquin like "Tarkwin" too!

[Viviennemary]

What about Tobb. (First letter and last three) That would save a lot of writing.

[KoalaFace]

I read that name out to DH and he laughed his head off. I think it was the Ftang Ftang.

[JesusInTheCabbageVan]

YABU for giving your DS a girl's name. He'll be a laughing stock, poor thing

[Snazzynewyear]

Timeless and classic! Love it.
