Not keen.

Havana laugh?

RiverTam · 03/11/2018 14:15

Cigars here too. I think if it was just a city you could get away with it but with the cigar connection I wouldn’t.

I’ve heard worse.

Loopytiles · 03/11/2018 14:13

Dire.

GraveyardScapers · 03/11/2018 14:12

Cigars and alfajores (though I think these are spelled with a double n). No for a child’s name, yes for the alfajores Grin

Havana cup of tea? Thanks, don’t mind if I do.

Starlight345 · 03/11/2018 14:07

I prefer savannah though

Cigars?

Topseyt · 03/11/2018 14:05

No. Don't name your child after a brand of cigars.

FesteringCarbuncle · 03/11/2018 14:04

Cigar

RestingBitchFaced · 03/11/2018 14:03

Hate it

My daughters school friend has this name. I sing the song for days after every time she comes round.

starsinyourpies · 03/11/2018 13:10

Are you Havana laugh?

GoodJanet · 03/11/2018 11:12

She’ll just get the Camilla Cabello song her entire life.

I really wouldn’t. What about Savannah? It’s actually a name.

Rarfy · 03/11/2018 10:32

I quite like it.

TheDinnerWitch · 03/11/2018 10:25

I quite like it!  (and Friar and Prior too... )

userabcname · 03/11/2018 10:22

Yes I immediately thought of the song! But that's only because it's been in the charts recently. I do quite like it as name.

Cosmoa · 03/11/2018 09:50

@olderthanyouthink lol that song came to mind for me also!

I do think it's a great name though. I'd be pleasantly surprised to meet someone with the name!

Cigars

Maccycheesefries · 03/11/2018 08:52

@EthelHallowsBroomstick I was thinking of Friar Tuck! Well atleast she didn't call him monk or vicar which are similar to Friar.

Friar is an odd one! Maybe he'll grow up to work in a chippy ;)

EthelHallowsBroomstick · 03/11/2018 08:38

Cigars and the place spring to mind. It's not awful but it's not my cup of tea.

HeronLanyon · 03/11/2018 08:36

Or perhaps ‘no cigars’Grin

Polkasq · 03/11/2018 08:31

Cigars

Maccycheesefries · 03/11/2018 07:31

Do you have any connection to Cuba?

I heard a woman call out Friar the other day, I thought she said Prior but she repeated Friar again & a little boy answered 'yes mum.' I've never heard a child being called a title of a religious order before. It's common to call a child after a religious person like Sebastian after St. Sebastian but not a title. The word friar is a job description really isn't it?
