Why not LOL! I've heard worse.

Perhaps by the time he's older Indiana Jones will have dropped out of popularity and no one will remember it in his peer group.

I love it, please do it.
I have a chicken called Indiana (named by dd after one of the bigger girls at school).

Danger is a great name.

do it, it's not like you were using as a first name!

If dd2 (6 weeks) had been a boy she would have been Nathaniel John Danger, just so my son would have Danger for a middle name! but she is Nancy Elizabeth Rose

I've found that Baby Names is taken more seriously than most other forums. No idea why! :)

Point taken people - not sure your comments need to be quite so barbed - obviously people feel very very strongly about this. It was actually meant in a lighthearted manner - wrong forum obviously - my bad - back in my box :) :)

Indiana is a horrible, smelly state full of rednecks. Just don't call your DC Gary Indiana Jones. Photo

We liked Ianto, but the bloke from Torchwood was called ianto jones!

Well, it will be Jones if and when I ever get round to getting married.

GetOrfMoiLand · 23/09/2010 12:52

Mind you, my surname is Jones, any my fantasy baby boy's name is Inigo.

SirBoobAlot · 23/09/2010 12:51

Don't be an idiot.

Panzee · 23/09/2010 12:46

You should call him Indiano. I always assume Indiana's a girl's name. :)

pebblejones · 23/09/2010 12:46

I loved Thomas, but yes we couldn't pick that either or Grace if he had been a DD was a big no no too!

pebblejones · 23/09/2010 12:43

My surname by marriage is Jones and when we get a dog we will call it Indiana, but no way would we give it to our DS! Having said that my brother calls my DS Indy every now and then!

TrillianAstra · 23/09/2010 12:37

Haha sheep, I wondered if someone would pick that up! Grin

Wanderingsheep · 23/09/2010 12:33

Don't call him Tom/Thomas either!

Wanderingsheep · 23/09/2010 12:33

Just plain cruel!

nigglewiggle · 23/09/2010 12:30

I think if you were doing it because you really love the name, I would say go for it and don't worry what other people think. His generation will probably never have heard of Indiana Jones. But, as you want to do it to be 'funny' then I'd seriously qustion your sense of humour.

Think you need to get off your Planet and come into the real world.
