How about Satan? That's a nice name. Or Damnation?

For goodness sake OP, you surely can't be serious about any of those names, other than Adrian???

SundaySimmons · 06/11/2013 23:57

This is what the names conjure up to me

Hett - Hetty hoover
Heath - Cliff it's me a kathyyyy a come home or Ted.
Hamzah - one armed preacher
Hadrian (or Adrian) - a wall or a mole
Hades - great name if he is a black Labrador
Kyle - Jeremy
Arn (or Arnes) - ica
Dustin - Gee, Hoffmann, Diamond

In all honesty they are a bit piss poor names.

You are, I assume, joking?

Igloofornow · 06/11/2013 23:21

I never thought I'd see the day I'd choose Kyle on a baby names list...

CeliaLytton · 06/11/2013 23:21

Lucifer?

CarryOnDancing · 06/11/2013 23:20

I have a name crush on Heath!! I also really like Hadrian.

The others I rate between dislike and astonishing terrible...Hamzah?!

The last think he wants is Daily Mail readers joking about all the tax money he's cost!

ohmymimi · 06/11/2013 23:13

Azriel - the angel of death. Good choice.

BillyBanter · 06/11/2013 22:38

Call him Hadrian.

Then you can call him Hades as a nickname.

Primafacie · 06/11/2013 22:32

How about The Hulk? Also a strong name.

BillyBanter · 06/11/2013 22:26

Gobshite is also a strong name.

BillyBanter · 06/11/2013 22:26

Hades is a good sounding name though, so it's a shame.

I'm an atheist and I wouldn't name my kid after the underworld, might as well call the poor thing Gobshite

BillyBanter · 06/11/2013 22:21

Does that matter if one is an atheist? Not saying it doesn't, just wondering.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 06/11/2013 22:17

Heath is the only one I like. Calling a kid Hades is like calling him Hell (I'm not suggesting Hell as an option BTW)

BikeRunSki · 06/11/2013 22:15

I like Adrian because of a book too ...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/11/2013 22:13

Hades? Please, please tell me that you are joking?!

I don't like any of them.

Scoobyblue · 06/11/2013 22:11

Sorry - none of these are for me. Adrian is the best of your list though.

Primafacie · 06/11/2013 22:08

Ooh, double cross post! This has irrationally cheered me up.

Primafacie · 06/11/2013 22:07

Heath and Adrian are lovely.

Hamzah Confused: maybe get DH to read about Abu Hamza?

LoganMummy · 06/11/2013 22:05

Hamzah? Like Abu Hamzah?

PinkParsnips · 06/11/2013 22:04

Heath or Adrian are nice

Nothing asian whatsoever
My DH just likes that name without any logical reason. Myself i think it is a bit "out of place"

I like Adrian because of a certain book...

Hamzah is fine assuming you are of Asian origin. Hamzah Higgins less so!

There is a Kyle on every corner at the moment...

Adrian/Hadrian - good names. Not fancy or fashionable.
