DH keeps suggesting this

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

It sounds like a Pokemon.

With Dean as a middle name?

I just googled and apparently Torquil is a Norse/Scottish name meaning Thor's helmet or cauldron.

However to me it just sounds like a strange hybrid of Torvil and Tarquin.

Oh dear. OP you cannot call your poor child Torquil. Even if you're very posh indeed he will still be the butt of every joke going. Send your DH back to the drawing board immediately!

no no no no no no no no

LTB!

I hope that doesn't become popular, people will be calling their children Tor for short. I don't want people I meet to assume my name is Torquil!
