Turquand? |
(73 Posts) |
Just come across this, what do you think? For a boy of course. It's a bit like Tarquin but not so foppish I thought.
He'll be made fun of for the rest of his life....
Sorry but it sounds like a brand of turps or possibly Turkish delights.
Tur - d is the NN that springs to mind.....
One word.
NO!
NO!
PS Startingagain... I like Blaze!
Sounds like Turqoise Wand. So many teasing opportunities.
And what would his nn be? Turq (turk)? Quand?!
Even more pretentious than Tarquin in my view, sorry!

I think Turquand and Shelmerdine would make a lovely couple 
Ooh. I love strange names but that one sounds awful. I think you have to find the name by the meaning it has for you....
I've just had a baby boy (20 days) and we've named him "Blaze". A lot of people say it sounds like a Super Hero (which I agree with!) but for me it means "Uncontrolable Fire" which is a great way to explain the love he makes me feel and how it burns through me uncontrolably.
Also - I don't think Blaze would get so much stick at school as Turquand...!

TurquandCacos - it's an archipelago in the Pacific.
Tarquin is preferable, just.
