Would Monty get picked on?

It's a worry for us. Do you know any? Are they picked on? We are wondering if it might soon make a comeback... And would have to cope with the "no, we didn't name it after the penguin..."

I love the name Monty but DH kept quoting withnail and I at me :). I say go for it though.

If you wanted a more formal name: Montgomery NN Monty

I love the name....cool, not pretentious definitely Smile

I know several, all aged between 4-8, none get picked on. They are all spelt Monte. I have also met several dogs called Monte/y but have no idea how they spell it!

It's a nice name and no one will remember the penguin in years (months) to come.

I know a Monty, and as above the reaction to his announcement was brilliant. 'Cracking name' was probably the expression most used.

By next christmas, people will struggle to remember this year's John Lewis Ad

I think it's a joke name.

I know a Monty, I think it's an excellent name and the reaction seemed positive when he was born. No, he doesn't get picked on
