STUART!

Can you imagine? He didn't speak to me for a few hours after I burst out laughing in his face and asked, incredulously: "what man, in this day in age, would call their son Stuart?"

I met a little baby Ray the other day. I like it Grin

MyBoysAreFab · 10/09/2013 20:15

I know a teenage Stuart - we are in Scotland too. I quite like it.
I also know an adult Colin who gets called Col which sounds quite cool.

IsleOfRight · 10/09/2013 20:15

I know a baby Ian and a baby Brian

What's wrong with Stewart/Stuart? Its not so common these days but I was at school with a few (in Scotland).

Nandocushion · 10/09/2013 20:12

What on earth is wrong with Stuart?

IHeartKingThistle · 10/09/2013 20:11

I've taught more Stuarts than Stephens.

You'd be Stewie Griffin's mum!

Frontdoorstep · 10/09/2013 20:03

I have a Stuart, I know others as well, but not all that common, I'm in Scotland so perhaps more popular here.

What is wrong with Stuart? really. Kevin, not so much, though it is rather popular in Germany, due to Costner.

My son is due in November and his second name will be Little. About 40 times a day I get "OH, YOU SHOULD CALL HIM STUART!! LOLOLOL." Stabby stab stab.

I like Clive. Has a certain something. Clovis is better.
Colin is a pigeon toed geek no no.

But Stewart is a bit Rod, isn't it? A bit of a blond hound?

CordeliaRose · 10/09/2013 13:52

I like it too Smile

Good, traditional name which doesn't sound dated to me......

noisytoys · 10/09/2013 13:52

There's a baby Alan at DDs nursery. None of the other toddlers can pronounce it they all call him Alum Grin

Shodan · 10/09/2013 13:46

Oops. Forgot where I was. That should be a Grin

Shodan · 10/09/2013 13:46

:-) Oh dear. That's DH's name. And he's middle-aged and in IT. No moustache though....

(Don't tell him I said so, but I don't really like the name...)

I like Stuart. Smile

JimbosJetSet · 10/09/2013 13:35

I like Stuart. But then my DS (1 year) has got a name that hasn't been popular since the 70's... So I am biased Smile

Trazzletoes · 10/09/2013 13:31

I don't really understand what's wrong with Stuart.

Solo · 10/09/2013 13:29

PeacockPlumage · 10/09/2013 13:27

Maybe I just know too many middle-aged IT managers with moustaches called Stuart...
