Too pretentious?

nn Bertie

I'm assuming the Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb thing is far too old to be remembered by next generation.

It was OH's grandfathers name so its not just random, but I am unconvinced at present, any thoughts?

It's nice. An old Celtic saint's name.

Other old Celtic saints... Aidan, David, Ciaran, Patrick, Declan, Malachy, Brendan.

cute as a baby, mortifying as a teenager.

colditz, read my link! he was the Bash Street Kids nemesis, not Dennis the Menace.

Sounds a bit lispy to me.

Bloody hell. That's terrible. Sorry.

Oh no, that was Walter. he was in the Beano somewhere, and not in a good way!

colditz · 23/07/2011 17:52

The Beano. Cuthbert was Dennis's effeminate and weedy arch nemesis.

Don't do it to him.

ThumbsNoseAtSnapewitch · 23/07/2011 17:46

got it - he was the swot in the Bash Street Kids

Not keen. Cuthbert seems to be ringing a bell in my head for more than just the firemen, some kind of weed in a comic strip, not sure which... Not my favourite long version for Bertie anyway (which I am quite fond of as a nn).

Bertram perhaps?
