I LOVE this name but do you think I can't use it now with the return of Dallas?

I have never seen Dallas but I think of Jonathon Ross. Never good

Don't hyphen a name- they will get rid of the second part as soon as they are old enough to make the choice. Either John or Ross are fine.

I didn't make the connection. I think most people too young to have seen the original series and those who didn't want to see he new one will not make the connection. If you like it, use it.

People may ask, "oh, like Dallas?" and you can reply, "No. Never seen it".

I know this is a light hearted thread but John is not a creep's name. It was the name of my dear, wonderful late FIL.

DinosaursOnASpaceship · 21/10/2012 16:31

Never seen Dallas or heard of John-Ross so no association for me apart from that huge doctor who spider Janross or something like that.

Please don't do this to your little person.

Dogsmom · 21/10/2012 15:56

'Do do, do dooo, do dooo do do do doooo'

I'm now stuck with the Dallas theme in my head Grin

Digory

squoosh · 19/10/2012 23:33

Digger?

It's earthy.

akaemmafrost · 19/10/2012 23:30

Please don't do that to your child. Imagine the teasing at school, especially if new series Dallas takes off.

TiggerWearsATriteSmile · 19/10/2012 23:27

John is a creeps name.
Ross is good.
Bobby is good.
Cliff.... You may fall off one.

John and Ross or John and bobby or cliffross or any of these are shite.

Hope that helps!

PoppadomPreach · 19/10/2012 23:22

What about Cliff?

JudeFawley · 19/10/2012 23:22

I have never even seen Dallas and I made the connection!

Ghastly.

UltraBOF · 19/10/2012 23:20

I like Bobby Grin

DrinkFecksArseyGhosts · 19/10/2012 23:16

Never mind Dallas. On its own it's Hmm.

squoosh · 19/10/2012 23:16

Most people will think of Dallas, sorry.

Viviennemary · 19/10/2012 23:02

I made the connection. So that's one! It's dire. Please don't.

KennethParcell · 19/10/2012 23:00

"maybe others won't make the connection"

Grin omg.

Sleepyfergus · 19/10/2012 23:00

Makes me think of Jonathan Ross, possibly not a good thing!
