Monty?

Really like Monty (short for Montague) for ds4 to go with siblings George , Thomas and Ollie (Oliver).

Any thoughts? Does it sound like a dogs name????

Any other suggestions?

I love it, have a friend with the name and he is awesome.

Sorry, can only think of Uncle Monty in Withnail and I and a black labrador I know

It's the name of my grandma's dog, so it just makes me think of him...sorry!

My dog is Monty. But my son has a very popular dogs name - my mum had a dog called it! So I wouldn't worry if you like it.

Like it,sounds sweet and then can be known by the more formal name when older (if he wants to)!

"Your ds will be fat or weedy with that name, it's inevitable "

Confused

I love it. It's a lot less commonly used than your three other DS's names but I see no particular problem with that.

It's on our list but as a nn for Montgomery.

I love it!
Would be in my top 5 boys names

Noooo

Your ds will be fat or weedy with that name, it's inevitable

Love it!

Honestly, I did initially think pet name.

But it does actually go really well with your son's names. I think it's a name that even if you did think 'a bit doggy' you would warm to it really quickly. It's even growing on me as I'm writing this Grin

I like it. Python, Carlo, Don. All good connotations!
