I am watching Splash and suddenly thought Vernon would be a cool name for a boy, what do you think?

Vernan God Little! Horrendous character in a book, it kills the name for me, sorry.
How about Vinnie or Mario or Keith? <ducks>

It's a bit of a name like Derek or Vincent or Colin imo.

I love the name Erin!
I can't get on board with Vernon though. A young Erin I know has a brother Nathaniel (Nate).

I think it could be cool. But because most of us don't know any young, cool Vernons, we tend to think of Harry Potter or other associations. These change quickly though, once we meet a lovely young Vernon!
Sorry, but it's a terrible name.

No.
Reminds me of a fifties fairground worker with a greasy quiff.

Dursley. A fat, horrid, abusive man.

I know someone married to a vile man called Vernon - we call him 'Vermin', enough said.

Just no. Vernon's is a gambling site. Anyone over 35 would recognise that. Vernon's pool. And Vernon was Liz McDonald's waster bloke in Coronation Street.

The motto of the Vernon family is ver non semper viret: the Spring does not always flourish.
