Yay or nay?

Also, would you spell it with or without the 'e' ?

Is this a name now then? Sounds like a firm of solicitors. Shouldn't it be double 'l' anyway?

Do you mean as in Millhouse from Simpsons?

Why would you call a person after a mill?

what, Bart's friend?
no
plus was Richard Nixon's middle name - just no!

Without the 'e' it would be pronounced Milhoos.

Having just watched the Simpsons, no. Don't do it.

Are you watching Eggheads by any chance? That name has just been mentioned on there Grin

But absolutely not. Bart's mate and sounds ridiculous

No. Just no!

Echo the Simpsons connection.

DontKillMyVibe Yep! Just realised it's actually a name and not just a made up one for The Simpsons. Quite like it actually. AIBU to think people will have forgotten The Simpsons by the time DS is old enough to be questioned on his name?

Spelt wrongly

The Simpsons has been running for over twenty years, it'll probably still be being made by the time your DS is old enough to be questioned about his name.

The Simpsons will be repeated for ever.

Oh My...like Richard Milhouse Nixon? History might forget the Simpsons but the name of a impeached American president lives on forever.

Awful, sorry.

Marginally better but not much is Miller

Okay, I get the message. Milhouse is an unwise choice. I will stick to my originally idea - Bart. Just kidding Grin

Any other names anyone can suggest? Similar to Milhouse?

I really honestly wouldn't. Too associated with a cartoon character who is pretty much just there to be ridiculed.

He would be called Millie Smile

But not Miller, as that's even dafter than Millhouse. He could be nicknamed 'Windy'.
