Just got new wallpaper that's the penguin classics books. Looking at Aldous Huxley multiple times a day (30 weeks pg!).

Is Huxley cool or am I losing it. Already got a DS called Wilf(red). I like slightly more left field names - Blaise, Rafferty and Heath all in the mix too.

i immediately thought 'pig', sorry.

It sounds a bit like a dog's name to me.

Not a fan. Love Heath though x

I know a gorgeous Huxley!

Yep, another one who thought Huxley Pig...has the tune in my head now. Who you gonna be today Huxley Pig oink oink

I think it's a cool name though and only those of us of a certain age would be likely to make the connection.

I thought "Aldous Huxley".

Nothing wrong with Huxley as a name, it's no different from any other surnamey names such as Harley, Harvey etc.

I know a huxley and he is super cute.

It's an interesting one - but my first thought was Huxley Pig! But these associations don't always last that long.

Sorry, another Huxley Pig association here.

MummyBurrows · 11/05/2013 21:31

To be honest my first response was "Huxley?! What kind of name is that?!" ...sorry... Aldous sounds much more "normal" though!
