Use both. Jock Buster. He'll have a reputation for having huge genitalia.

No, she is completely serious. Jock as alternative to overused Jack. Buster after Buster Martin the supposedly oldest man to run the London marathon.

Whether this thread is serious or not, I love both of the names and they were both on my Names List. DH hated them.

You must tell her NO NO NO!!! The poor little mite will hate her for it and she will get bored of having to wash the eggs and flour from his hair and the gob off his back... and also having to buy new glasses when his are inevitably trodden on.

I don't understand the craze for shite names at the moment, its as if the parents deliberately want their kids to get bullied and IMO should be considered some form of abuse.

I can understand Buster being thought of as a canine name as it was originally a nickname (and only popularised by Buster Keaton).

I prefer Jock myself as it is a genuine Scottish variation on the name John or Jack. It is a shame it has been hijacked by jockstrap connotations!

Are there many Jocks in Scotland these days?
Isn't it a slightly derogative term for a Scotsman or an American footie player?

Still think it is quite a cool name though, although we did meet a Gorilla in Bristol Zoo called Jock recently!?!

I would like a ds called Jock so I could refer to him as Wee Jock.

I assumed Jock was a typo and you actually meant to ask about the name Jack - i guessing quite a few other people would during his life!!

Jock is american slang
Buster is a dog

Jock Strap?

Buster Blood Vessel?

If you're serious, go for it. I know a little Buster, it really suits him, he's a lovely kid. Strange names sound - well - strange at fist, but people get used to them, and children grow into them if it's a good name.

So, back to your original question, Buster definitely. Not Jock, that's not a great name at all IMO.

No way. Even pregnancy hormones does not excuse this. Hasn't she heard of Viz? Sorry but no.
