I like Solomon, NN Solly!

DiegeticMuch · 21/10/2016 09:01

Solomon nn Sol is great.

Sounds like gobble, which where I'm from is another word for blow job. Not keen but Gabe is lovely.

SorenaJ · 20/10/2016 12:37

Solomon is lovely!

Gable the cable guy

"Jeremiah wasn't exactly the luckiest of people"

And, of course, he was a bull frog

Op, i Iike both those. Hope your surname isn't Grundy for Solomon, though

Brick is the name of the youngest kid in 'The Middle'

Both Solomon and Jeremiah are great names. I like the sound of them and they aren't too common.

I also like Sol and Jem as NN.

Garthmarenghi · 19/10/2016 16:39

Solomon is fabulous. Gets my vote.

ErrolTheDragon · 19/10/2016 16:37

Jeremiah wasn't exactly the luckiest of people...

(The doctor in star trek next gen was played by a Gates, btw. )

Solomon is an awful lot to live up to. Every time he does someone daft his name becomes ridiculous.
What else do you have?

Also like Solomon and Jeremiah although we are 95% on Solomon, so think that's going to be it

Oh I rather like it as a name but there are too many cruel playground variations sadly.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/10/2016 10:31

Which other names do you like OP ?
Don't go away !😄

There's a guy named Gable Tostee on trial for murder here at the moment. It's the only time I've ever heard it as a name.

It was from a list of Hebrew names - crossed off list now!

I too think it's part of a house, not a name.

HillaryFTW · 18/10/2016 23:01

To rhyme with able, I think.

iminshock · 18/10/2016 22:55

Don't be ridiculous

MakingItFun · 18/10/2016 22:48

Architrave
Corbel
Escutcheon

ChathamDockyard · 18/10/2016 22:35

Sorry but it's a no from me and I don't usually mind non-names.

HardcoreLadyType · 18/10/2016 22:27

What about Soffit? You could save Fascia for a DD.

Lunar1 · 18/10/2016 22:26

How do you say it? To rhyme with babble or Mable?

SailingThroughTime · 18/10/2016 22:26

Spindle is a bit too like Spinster for my taste but hey ho - horses for courses and all that.
Mansard is a strong 4 square name for a boy.

HillaryFTW · 18/10/2016 22:26

Lintel? A nice alternative to Linnet.
