I think of it as a bit pretentious, same as Theodore and Arlo.

Montgomery makes me think of a posh man from the 20s wearing a top hat, tails and a monocle.

Monty however sounds quite cute and fun loving. I think of a cartoon mouse for some reason. Then maybe the Full Monty.

Ok....so lots of dogs and lots of Mr. Burns. My dh loves it, though he has never watched the simpsons Shock. I'm not so keen. Thank you - think I'll stick to my veto! Or maybe a middle name......

My dog

PinkiePiesCupcakes · 26/11/2016 22:25

See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,
Than authentic Irish setter.

See this hat, 'twas my cat,
My evening wear - vampire bat,
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino.

So yeah, Mr Burns.

CalleighDoodle · 26/11/2016 22:25

Burns

Then elizabeth.

PragmaticWench · 26/11/2016 22:24

Field Marshall! I love it so much, it's elegant, adult and yet has a great child's nickname (Monty).

elQuintoConyo · 26/11/2016 22:24

Uncle Monty from Withnail and I HmmShock

BiscuitMillionaire · 26/11/2016 22:23

Sounds a bit PG Wodehouse to me. "I say old thing, is Monty toddling along to the club this evening?"

Merrylegs · 26/11/2016 22:23

A tuck box, a side parting and pleated shorts. Cute name though.
