I know a 13 year old Elvis. I thought for ages that it must be a nickname but it’s not.
I suppose it’s okaaaay.

Yeah but it won't be you getting flamed will it? It'll be the child, and that's the point.

I get it. But just remember that you are naming a future adult person with their whole own identity and therefore you really have to ask yourself, should I really call my child Elvis?

Yes, that's probably a better alternative.

i worked with a man called Elvis, but he was from somewhere in the west Indies, where it is not so unusual i think.
he was also well over six foot and door supervisor build, so no one messed with him.
it suited him, and we never thought about it, but for a child in this country, i'm not so sure.

Have you seen Fireman Sam?
There’s a whole generation out there who don’t know the singer, but associate the name with an accident prone and not very bright animated Welsh fireman.

Hahahahah. Thank you so much for your rude inputs but It’s getting used regardless 🀣 as long as you’re not a dickhead in real life when you come across my son, I’m fine with that

I met a South African Elvis once. It’s just not usable here though, sorry.

@nancybotwinbloom I don’t think that’s the case - Elvis Presley died in the 70s, over 40 years ago and almost 20 years before I was born, and he’s still 100% the association.

@Youaretoocool just give him a normal middle name so he can choose to go by that when he’s sick of people asking about his blue suede shoes

I know of one at a club my son does, he must be around 5/6/7. It’s a hard no from me but hey, variety is the spice of life.

That’s funny because my first thought was Costello.

I used to know an Elvis! And he was English. He'd be about 60 now I suppose. People did often think his name was a joke, but he never seemed to mind.
