As long as you have two more and name them Roger and Charlie Grin

CrapBag · 19/06/2013 17:52

Sorry but bloody awful name.

You did ask. Grin

Meldrew. Sorry.

Victor is good but Vic is a sweaty middle aged man.

not that I would watch it of course -- other than to check it was suitable for my girls......... of course.......... Hmm

MadeOfStarDust · 19/06/2013 17:06

noooo -I just think of the creepy Victor on House of Anubis....

Cecil last week.

Victor this.

Myrtle on another thread......

No, I don't love it.

I think of Victor Meldrew. It's not an awful name, just isn't the best sounding IMO. Don't like the nn Vic though.

eurozammo · 19/06/2013 15:12

I know one. I'm not keen, tbh. (Although it does lend itself to humourous "rubbing Vicks/Vic's on chest" jokes....)

I knew one - he was Romanian and a very nice, considerate, gentlemanly type. It's not a name I would choose, but I've certainly got nothing against it and it's unusual in a good way I would say :-) Why not!

I really like it. I have never met one either.
