Towie haters look away.

Sam Faiers has named her baby Paul Tony after his dad. What do we think?

I personally think it is very bad.

I really like the name Bruce!

I think it is Paul after the Baby's dad, not the mums dad.

To me it's like being called Duke or King, it sounds a bit strange.

But I want to call my next DS Bruce which loads of people are horrified by Grin

Paul Tony doesn't even sound right. Tony is a nickname. Paul Anthony is marginally better but still grim.

Nothing wrong with Paul it's better than the crappy names celebs usually go with (Saint West? Apple?)

WaitrosePigeon · 18/01/2016 19:21

It's grim for me. Utterly grim.

Paul is a nice name.
IMO, giving your dc the same name as either of it's parents is daft.
So it depends which question you are asking.

I wouldn't go for Paul. Not my taste but nice she's named him after her father

Pipestheghost · 18/01/2016 19:15

Nothing wrong with Paul, it's nice she's named him after her dad.

ShhhBeQuiet · 18/01/2016 19:13

I like it. I think Paul is a cool name.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 18/01/2016 19:13

Ive always liked Paul. Thumbs up from me.

Naming a baby not Ning!

Copperkettle · 18/01/2016 19:12

I don't like the Ning a baby after its dad thing.
I would prefer Paul Anthony or even better Anthony Paul.

Goingtobeawesome · 18/01/2016 19:11

Why is it bad?

He is named after his dad and his uncle. I think the sentiment is nice.

FatRun · 18/01/2016 19:10

Paul Tony is an odd combination, agree Anthony would be better.

Sophronia · 18/01/2016 19:09

I like Paul. I'd prefer Paul Anthony to Paul Tony.

srslylikeomg · 18/01/2016 18:10

I thi k Paul is a perfectly reasonable, biblical name. But... Yeah Paul Tony sounds odd to me. Very retro 1960s? and have an unfortunate mental image of Swiss Tony!
