I'd really like to name my baby due in 4 weeks Baxter.
I had an old friend who passed away a few years ago, and was like a grandad to me. Sadly he never had any grandchildren and would have loved them. I would like to have him remembered in this way.
The gentleman in question's surname was Baxter. He was a very cool man who had dragged himself up from poor East End beginnings to become very senior in his profession but would patiently sit and watch us little girls sing a new song or do a dance
Can't use his first name, as a) he hated it as it was misspelled by his dad when registering him, and b) it doesnt work at all with our surname.
However I know most people meeting our little boy wouldnt know all of this and would just know him as Baxter. Is it too unusual?
