Apologies for two threads but was worried might be buried in my other thread about surnames as Christian names. What do people think of lestrade as a name to go with jackson as a middle name. Too wierd?

Am aware of the sherlock connection although don't watch it. (Dp does). Would that make a difference to people.

Ridiculous. Balonz is preferable.

Weird. Very very weird.

It has the bonus of making Jackson look better.
They are both hideous, please don't do that to the poor child.

Inspector Lestrades first name is Greg? Where did that come from?

But no, a child called Lestrade would be odd, though there's worse out there.

It's a no from me too. It just doesn't sound like a name, it sounds like (as a PP said) a contraceptive pill or some kind of female condom.

NickiFury · 19/07/2016 23:24

Ridiculous.

Looks pretty but written down, but. It could read to some as Letstrade

elephantoverthehill · 19/07/2016 23:18

I think it might be pronounced 'Les-trade' which might sound like some dodgy 70s wife swapping 3 in a bed thing. Sorry.

VimFuego101 · 19/07/2016 23:16

It sounds like a contraceptive pill tbh.

DraenorQueen · 19/07/2016 23:13

Nooo. His first name wasn't even Lestrade; it was Greg. What about Greg?

ophiotaurus · 19/07/2016 23:13

Sounds like Lestat from interview with a vampire so no. Please don't.

ICJump · 19/07/2016 23:11

It's a no from me.

pieceofpurplesky · 19/07/2016 22:57

Just no.

Raines100 · 19/07/2016 22:53

Absolutely thought Sherlock Homes, I'm afraid, followed by one of Anne Rice's vampires. Also, it means 'roads'.

Pretty bad.
