Dalton

Thoughts please! DH and I are trying to decide on a boys name, finding it pretty hard..

If it isn't nice, suggestions are welcome

No. Odd.

Just can't see it working without sounding strange........"dalton, get down from that climbing frame"

Reminds me of Dead Poets Society. He was the cool rebel.

Sneeze Why does that sound weird? Does it?

Why is 'Dalton, get down from that climbing frame' any different to 'Jack, get down from that climbing frame'?

As with any name, there are two tests.

Park test: imagine shouting it across a crowded park in fear, alarm or annoyance.

Quangocrat test: add it to your chosen surname, then put Professor Sir/Professor Dame in front of it and see how that sounds.

If it doesn't make you burst out laughing during either test, it's fine.
