Ask Helen Archer or in Radio Addicts.

  1. Osbourne.
  1. Those cheesy 'Crossfire' 50 Shades of Grey knock-off books by Sylvia Day.
  1. Bibles.

I wouldn't do it. I think they'd get teased unless they are going to private school.

Bibles.

Also, for some reason, the word Hideous.

Osborne. Don't do it.

First thought are the bibles in hotel rooms.
However I like Gideon, it's different but not weird. I think you could get Gus as a nickname too, which helps the name be a bit less clunky.

I think of the first series of Criminal Minds. I like it.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Or Giddyup. It's not a bad name but wouldn't be crazy about it.

Love this name. Have a friend called that and he is lovely.

Shmithecat · 18/05/2018 12:25

I absolutely love it. Beautiful name.

MinaPaws · 18/05/2018 12:23

Free bibles in hotel rooms.

Apart from that... it's OK but I don't love it. I think the 'idee' bit puts me off, sounds like idiot.
