What other musicians/bands do you like?

I think it's quite a big name to pull off? What if he's a shy little thing? But nothing against the name as such.

The parent of a Hendrix would be big into air guitar.

Lennon isn't bad, I quite like Otis but Hendrix is too linked with just one person. Maybe it's a bit too fan girl/boy for me.

Both the people I know who are called Hendrix, have brothers called Otis, I think it's a lovely name, better than having to be called by your surname because the half the class has the same name as you.

My friend wants this name for her next child. I think it's great.

My DS1 is James which is partly after Jimi (and various other rock-types). That is probably way too conventional. I'd probably make friends with you at baby group on this basis (lots of his tracks popped up on my hospital playlist whilst I was labouring with DS2 so its a good coversation starter) although my alternative roots are very deeply buried these days.

Zoe789 · 13/09/2013 18:25

oh no, she doesn't! sorry, I was joking, you said you you were musicians. Gwen Stefani is pregnant I think.

Ignore me. I'll get my coat Wink

Wildwaterfalls · 13/09/2013 18:21

Have you got Scandinavian or Dutch/German heritage?

If so you could go for Henrik or Hendrik.

Not for a child. Maybe a dog.

Zoe789 · 13/09/2013 18:02

ah well then :-| go ahead!

Will we read it soon? Gwen Stefani's next baby is called Hendrix!

Hendrix goes with Kingston but not with Zuma.

forcookssake · 13/09/2013 18:00

I think it's cool, but I think it suffers a bit by ending in 'x' - it reminds me of Jackson>>Jaxon and other 'modern' names
Also, future child would be forever saying "yeah, Hendrix, like Jimmy... yeah my parents thought he was cool..."
However, in a similiar vein, I've been thinking about Cohen Blush

x post! i'm joking here btw. I fear I'm conventional Shock

Zoe789 · 13/09/2013 17:48

Dirtyface, the child isn't named yet!

Talk me through 'unconventional' though. Are you a potter? Do you live in a yert? Do you home school!?

I was going for a jokey 1970's tone. Failed, obviously. Sorry

was it worse that - Ugh No! or Please No. Or it's awful?
