It's Greville Cumberbatch !!!

[Flubbs]

I can hardly believe that.

What is it? A trend? Some kind of allusion? A family name?

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

I like it! It sure stands out

[SoupDragon]

Greville? Um... OK.

[SoupDragon]

They shoud have called him Quentin so he would have been Q Cumberpatch.

[MerryMarigold]

Like a cross between Breville and gravel. I prefer Brevel if you must combine them.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

[UnspecialSnowflake]

How do you pronounce that? Is it like gravel but with an e sound rather than an a, or is it more grey-vile.

[Ilovenannyplum]

Oh that's bad. Sounds like a make of toaster.

If it had been suggested on a baby name board previously it would have been shot down but now Cumber-whateverhisnameis has used it, MN will be all over it!

I feel this is a wind up

Soupdragon I said that to my mate when she had her first (she is a Cumberpatch) she didn't think it was such a good idea. She then had twin boys...neither of them are called Quentin either...

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

How utterly selfish, Wuthering!

Re Greville, the only thing Google throws up for me on this is this thread. Where did you hear the news, OP?

[AlisonBlunderland]

That boy will be a cert to get into Hogwarts

[IsItStupid]

I don't think it is! Surely not?

Where did you hear this OP?

[CaptainAnkles]

I really hope that's not true

[getbusyliving]

do you mean Grenville? We have a second cousin with this name

[Germgirl]

Soup brilliant :)

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

A friend of mine swears she has come across a lawyer called Hugh Cumber. Why, just why?

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Well we knew they'd give him an outlandish name. I mean they were hardly likely to call him freeeeeekin Bob or Fred were they

[Flubbs]

It was on the radio last night. Said very seriously but the more I think about it.... I just can't tell.

[SoupDragon]

Whilst googling to find out if this is true, I found this headline

Benedict Cumberbatch shows off his post-baby body, gets back to work after two days off

[deadwitchproject]

It must be a family name. Surely?

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

LOL @ soup

[MappingTheMind]

Like Grenville Janner???????????

[Flubbs]

I googled too. Nothing

It must have been a joke then, I suppose.

Sorry chaps - I was tired and fractious and gullible
