Denmark, for a name?

Hi, recently been looking on a name website, Denmark came up. I thought it was lovely! You could NN him Den/Denny/Mark. We are fans of place names, on our list:

  • Boston
  • Brooklyn
  • Cody
  • Devon
  • Lincoln
Thoughts?

What about Austin? Or Oakley, Ashton, Aston?

I have to agree that I'm not keen on Denmark but reckon there are some slightly more common place names or similar sounding names that would be less 'out there'

There's a blogger in the US that has a Holland, girl I think. So Denmark to me = blogger baby name in Utah...

And also ROFL at Basingstoke as I sit on my sofa in said town reading about baby names Grin

hmm, you'd be able to use Den as a nickname.

Personally I prefer something with a South American vibe, like
Nicaragua (nickname Nicar)
Brazil (nickname Bra)

Ironically, I don't think you'd be allowed to name your baby Denmark in Denmark! Grin
They have v strict naming laws

Axel- do you have a connection to Denmark? The name Axel is Danish iirc. If you have no connection to the country then sorry I think it's daft.

John Maynard Keynes was a famous economist.

Greaterthanthesumoftheparts · 01/09/2016 22:39

Or a combination of two people but not such a problem name!

Greaterthanthesumoftheparts · 01/09/2016 22:37

punkrocker Milton Keynes was actually a person, an economist if I recall correctly.

Denmark Jones was evicted from the BB house tonight after beating one of his fellow contestants after a heated argument about Brahms.

bearleftmonkeyright · 01/09/2016 22:15

Denmark Jones has been named as the new James Bond.

Millionaire philanthropist Denmark Jones builds orphanage.

MakemineaGandT · 01/09/2016 22:11

"Good morning, I'm Denmark Jones."

Do you know, I'm warming to it.

"Denmark Jones is now approaching Buckingham Palace for his first meeting with the Queen as Prime Minister."

I think I rather like it.

Probably won't work though if your surname isn't Jones.

DamnGood314 · 01/09/2016 21:00

lol at bloody. I've got a good one.

Merthyr Tidfyl.

DamnGood314 · 01/09/2016 20:57

Dennis Mark is almost Denmark. Actually Dennis Mark is a bit Thatcher so.. Denmark lyder godt :-p

Milton Keynes has a nice ring to it, saves having to think of a middle name.
If you want to go for a country, why not Switzerland, Belgium, England or Scotland?
