Or maybe something less run of the mill?

Tintabula sounds made up- even if isnt. If this isn't Hmm then please, please don't do it.

alreadytaken · 29/08/2013 22:34

Flibber, you've got me thinking - Tickerbilla has possibilities, I loved hopscotch when I was a kid.

Tired

You beat me to it, I was thinking Harry Potter. Grin
OP, you can't be serious?

What is wrong with a normal name these days? I never come across people with weird names in rl, it's only on here.

Blimey, Wannabe, the Black Witch of Salem, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I need to go back to my first thought, Medusa - I've always loved snakes (and statues).

Tintabula reminds me instantly of Tituba from The Crucible and I'm not sure I'd want my child being casually linked to that monstrosity.... Hmm

dingledongle · 29/08/2013 17:00

Please don't inflict this on a child!

Writerwannabe83 · 29/08/2013 16:45

This has to be a wind up? Hmm Grin

Tiredemma · 29/08/2013 16:39

Sound like something from Harry Potter. or Game of Thrones.

sorry.

ILoveDolly · 29/08/2013 16:38

Please, please, don't do this. Use them as second names. If you must.

meditrina · 29/08/2013 16:34

As Vortigern was a 5th century warlord, I'd assume you're very into battle reenactment - rather like this.

lucysnowe · 29/08/2013 16:25

Sound like names in a medieval bawdy romance :)

Maybe, as Tintabula is bell related, I should go for Quasimodo instead of Vortigern. Quasimodo means almost the standard measure, in case anyone is tempted by it.
