Mumsnet Talk

I love the name Duke. Percy is cute and Cosimo sounds cool I think? I don't talk to family and friends about names so I thought I would ask here.

We already have a Bruno, Hector and Myles.

Does anyone have a preference?

I don't like any of them.

Fairy / cat / train.

no/ no/ no

Cosimo looks like you've put an extra letter in Cosmo. Percy is an engine and Marmaduke's last name is Scarlet. (I should add, Duke will always be a shire horse name to me. Sorry)

I see you watch Fairly Odd Parents too dis

They are not names I'd pick but quite like them. Percy is most normal I guess but would always make me think of Blackadder - it is quite sweet though. Not sure about how to pronounce Cosimo (Cozzymo? Co-see-mo?)- is it Italian? And if so, are you Italian? How about Cosmo? I am quite fond of Marmaduke but less keen on Duke - sounds to my ear like something an American would pick because it sounded quaint. They all go with your other names though

No to all.

I quite like Myles though.

You're either incredibly posh or incredibly aspirational.

I think they're ok- but don't sound quite right with your other trio.
Cosmo sounds fine with it, as would Montgomery or Peregrine.

not keen on Marmaduke, sorry. Of those 3 I would choose Percy

actually i like them all but marmaduke is a common name for a cat. but duke is pretty cute.

The only one I don't like is Percy, others are great.

As you already have a Bruno, adding a Cosimo sounds a bit like you secretly wish you were Nigella Lawson though?

Not keen really - Percy Pecker is another name for penis . I have a nephew called Myles and spelt the same . Barney seems to fit with your other names and is OK or Dexter perhaps.

Only if your surname is Oppenheimer.

No I am not posh or rich. I do have aspirations but not to be Nigella :-)

I know you shouldn't but I am struggling to find names that fit with the others.

I have posted the names on here so I am expecting for bitchiness, no problems.

love the 3 in title but not duke.

Thank you cheese sarnie. Boys names are so much harder, girls far easier in my opinion, I've had the name I like since I found out I was expecting :-) and haven't wavered.

I'm terribly sorry, but I think they're all dreadful. Good luck and best wishes anyway.

Prefer something like Monty or Max(well) to go with your others

i think felix,leo or casper would go nicely with the names of your dc too.

i agree girls are easier(mind you ds1 had his name about ten years before i was even pregnant).whats your girls name?

It's Anna. Thank you for the alternatives. I think Felix is really sweet and getting rather popular now which is nice.

Two of the names are grandfather's names and we were hoping to continue the tradition with this one.

I remember clearly saying "ewwww" to names such as Ruby, Molly, Jack and Archie 15 years ago and now look how popular they are, times and opinions change don't they?

opinions won't change on Marmaduke, I'm guessing.

You sound like a Hugo kind of gal if I may say so... Hugo is better than Marmaduke at least, though personally I hate it. But have heard lots on MN say they like.

I just don't like any Hugos I've ever met although I am sure there are lots of lovely mumsnet Hugos :-)
