It would be a pretty great name for a builder.

I was at school with a bully called Wally. Be was actually called Walter. In Glasgow, so the two may be related.

I knew a boy at school called Wally. Everyone called him Wally. It was only when we were graduating I realised his name was Hadrian. Wall-y.

Only if your surname is Walls! Grin

Thanks for the replies. Overall I'd safely say it's a no.

I did hear it first when Trudeau brought his son over to Ireland recently and I thought that's nice. It doesn't work so well on this side of the Atlantic I guess because of Hadrian's Wall.

I know a Hadrian who is in his teens.
He doesnt get mocked.
I like the name.

Viviene · 18/07/2017 07:48

No
No

And again
No

What about Hannibal? Makes me think of elephants (not Lecter) and I do like elephants.

MaisyPops · 18/07/2017 07:07

I live near Hadrian's Wall so any Hadrian round here would be mocked like anything. Hadrian is a wall.

ceecee32 · 18/07/2017 07:03

I don't understand why children have to be given ridiculous names.

00100001 · 18/07/2017 06:48

I like it.

However, I wouldn't use it. Because the child would forever be called Adrian

Ankleswingers · 18/07/2017 06:47

Hideous

Ginger782 · 18/07/2017 06:47

Trivia of the day: The Prime Minister of Canada's son is called Hadrian.

BertrandRussell · 18/07/2017 06:46

Oh for goodness sake.

Some people have just got no imagination at all. Can you not think yourself for a minute into the life of someone called Hadrian?

DownUdderer · 18/07/2017 06:44

Nope. Hadyn, yes.

MrsPringles · 18/07/2017 06:42

Wall

Enough said

ilivebythesea · 18/07/2017 06:41

Hmm, not sure. Hadyn?

Sophronia · 17/07/2017 23:17

I like it more than Adrian

ringle · 17/07/2017 23:03

originalbiglymavis · 17/07/2017 23:00

Antonine? Offa?

..I've run out of man-made borders (unless you count 'of china' and 'mexican border'

bloodymaria · 17/07/2017 22:59

I like it! But I've had wine.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/07/2017 22:58

Wolfie beat me to it

Alittlepotofrosie · 17/07/2017 22:52

I like it. I preferred Aidan though.
