Hello :)

What do you think of the name Errol? We like old fashioned but not common names. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks :)

I think the Flynn association remains strong. Are you OK with that?

(Or perhaps Hot Chocolate?)

I think it looks better spelled Errol (not Erol).

Awful, unless you already have a Winston or a Shanice. In which case it would fit right in.
