STUART!

Can you imagine? He didn't speak to me for a few hours after I burst out laughing in his face and asked, incredulously: "what man, in this day in age, would call their son Stuart?"

[ExitPursuedByADragon]

My brother and his wife were considering Colin

[EroticTebbit]

Colin is a brilliant name! I know a teen Colin and he is beyond cool.

These kinds of names will be the granny chic fashion for our grandchildren.

[ExitPursuedByADragon]

I know. Having typed it I realised I quite like it. And Stuart.

[peachyyy]

He even said that it should be spelt with a u to avoid nn "Stewie" (wha??)... I think of Stuart Little, the thick irish soup and Disco Stu from The Simpsons. No way. It's vetoed. haha

[Quangle]

My dad suggested Alan for my DS on the grounds that when he met men called Alan at the golf course they were always nice chaps

Baby Alan.

[Sammie101]

I really like the name Stuart, if I was a boy I would have been Stuart!

I know someone with two sons, one named Leander and the other named Rafael Jett :S

Just hoping this person isn't on mumsnet...

[ElBombero]

Haha I've often thought if the day will come again when Colin, Dennis, Alan, Clive all make a reappearance. Quite like Stuart though, doesn't seem old n certainly won't be common x

[peachyyy]

Maybe I just know too many middle-aged IT managers with moustaches called Stuart...

[GreetingsFrontBottom]

Ha ha Quangle. It's true, all Alans are nice.

[BOF]

Dennis is a great name! I'd consider it.

[PeacockPlumage]

I quite like Stuart...

[Solo]

Stuart. Stuey is a fab nn

[Trazzletoes]

I don't really understand what's wrong with Stuart.

[JimbosJetSet]

I like Stuart. But then my DS (1 year) has got a name that hasn't been popular since the 70's... So I am biased

[cubedmelon]

I like Stuart.

[peachyyy]

Well there is no way I am showing him this thread, he'll feel vindicated.

[Shodan]

:-) Oh dear. That's DH's name. And he's middle-aged and in IT. No moustache though....

(Don't tell him I said so, but I don't really like the name...)

[Shodan]

Oops. Forgot where I was. That should be a

[peachypips]

Get orf my name OP

[noisytoys]

There's a baby Alan at DDs nursery. None of the other toddlers can pronounce it they all call him Alum

[CordeliaRose]

I like it too

Good, traditional name which doesn't sound dated to me......

[VenusRising]

I like Clive. Has a certain something. Clovis is better.
Colin is a pigeon toed geek no no.

But Stewart is a bit Rod, isn't it? A bit of a blond hound?

[DaleyBump]

My son is due in November and his second name will be Little. About 40 times a day I get "OH, YOU SHOULD CALL HIM STUART!! LOLOLOL." Stabby stab stab.

[telsa]

What is wrong with Stuart? really. Kevin, not so much, though it is rather popular in Germany, due to Costner.

[Frontdoorstep]

I have a Stuart, I know others as well, but not all that common, I'm in Scotland so perhaps more popular here.
