I'm sorry, I am, but now that I've ditched Blanchard I am being drawn to the name Dragon

[hobbgoblin]

you're all going to give up on me as a lost cause aren't you?

[nancy75]

are you serious?

[MrsMattie]

Yes. There is no way to advise somebody who thinks Dragon is a good name for a person.

[paolosgirl]

Please tell me you are not being serious!

[Tinker]

Use it only if you change your real surname to Hobbgoblin

[CarGirl]

it would make a good nick name

[hobbgoblin]

You can tell I need help, yes? Good!

I have been appreciative of some very good suggestions over the course of several threads but I cannot be converted to conventional wisdom.

I just need my madness tempering a little.

So...Rafferty, what?

I may need to pick a surname too.

Three first names a likelihood, so the zany one can go at the end.

You see, I like that Moon Unit name. This is where I am coming from. But I am not quite gone enough or selfish enough to do that degree of silliness to this baby.

[LetThemEatCake]

I really like it and considered it for my first dc. So there.

Then I reconsidered and thought about it as a 2nd name - Finn Dragon

but then, my children are called Phoenix (girl) and Cassian (boy)

And now that I am pregnant again I am liking Aslan, Samson, Griffin, and Zeph for boys.

so I will join the club of lost causes with you. Proudly.

[MayorNaze]

i like blanchard and dragon

so i am no help here if you want a voice of reason...

[Marne]

Not sure about Dragon (reminds me of what we used to call out teacher 'old dragon')

Maybe use it as a second name?

How about Merlin?

I'm liking the names, Samson and Zeph

[LetThemEatCake]

oooh I've got merlin on my list too.

I also like Orpheus.

[TwoScrambledEggs]

Use Blaize with Dragon as a nn

[everGreensleeves]

how about Draco instead?

[MANATEEequineOHARA]

I kind of like Dragon actually! BUT you have to think about how they may feel about the name. And their future...job interviews, people always asking if it is for real, that kind of thing...

A very cool second name though.

[SoupDragon]

Oh FGS! Even I wouldn't use Dragon and I am one

As for Aslan, LetThemEatCake, that is simply cruel.

[ilovemydogandMrObama]

Bear is a cool name

[SoupDragon]

No it isn't. It's a good nickname but a crap name.

[ilovemydogandMrObama]

fair enough

[LauriefairycakeeatsCupid]

This is the worst set of names I've ever seen on mumsnet. You have either all been drinking or are very hormonal

Aslan? ASLAN?? ASLAN???

superseded only by the wrongness of calling your kid Dragon or Merlin.

No more hallucenegic drugs for you lot

[ShowOfHands]

I know a Merlin, siblings are Phinnibus, Elfin and Fred!

Dragon's brilliant.

Like Indigo too.

[georgimama]

What about Wolf? Could be Wolfgang as a "real" name. Do it, go on, you know you want to.

(You can't be due yet, can you? It can't be nine months already?)

[flightoftheeasterbunyip]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[georgimama]

Aslan and Merlin have just made me snort wine up my nose. Help, I can't breathe.
