Good or bad?

bad

Bad

i couldn't help thinking immediately ronnie barker in porridge

Bad in what way?

Bad in a ronnie barker in prison kinda way maybe

It has the word letch in it.

was one of dh's favourite when I was expecting dc1 (and I was swaying towards it!) dc1 turned out to be dd1 and she has a big standard common name now

Depends if you like surnames as first names. Same vein as Harrison, Jackson, Cooper etc to me. Sounds American.

bog standard even!!

I like surnames as first names - but you do have to think of nick-names that children will get.

Having said that my son's name is a terrible american surname/nickname combo so go for it!

I agree with choufleur. to me Fletcher is always preceded by Norman Stanley.

Norman stanley here too, I'm afraid.

The only Fletcher that I know is a dog

Bad. Next?

Would be good if not for Norman Stanley.

Sorry, but the only Fletcher I have know (and that was his surname) was known as Feltcher.

Not a typo or nickname I would want associated with my child.

Bad. Unfortuntely I know a Fletch(er). He is a moron. Referred to either as Wretch or Letch.

Just makes me automatically think: 'felcher'.

well I like it!

So very very very bad.

Not good, sorry.

Bad. In a "it's a surname durrrr" kind of way.

I prefer Norman Stanley!

Makes me think Felcher here as well Sorry
