Saul?

Right, narrowing down names for DS2. Have finally laid "Oscar" to rest due to extreme popularity and a certain Pistorius character (thank you for everyone who helped me make that decision - see threads below!)

Am now considering more unusual names:

What do people think of Saul? I've heard it recently and rather like it. A soft -sounding name ,with interesting associations (Biblical but also a cool character in Breaking Bad!)

Cool or weird?

I love it.

Yes, LadyWithLap Dog, I agree with the sleazy and corrupt but still (to me!) kinda cool! A character anyway!

Saul in Homeland definitely cool. Hadn't even thought of him.

I suppose there's Saul Bellow (sp?) too, so good literary associations.

Better Call Saul would stop me, I think. That's going to be big, and around for a few years. It'd look like he was named after a sleazy, corrupt drug lawyer.

I love it

I don't like it I'm afraid.

BUT very very cool character in Homeland. I really like it.

Cool in Breaking Bad? Sleazy, corrupt, not cool.
