No!!

I love it, especially if you have Scottish or Norwegian ancestry. I hope he grows up to be a Captain

notangelinajolie · 19/04/2019 03:50

Captain or Corrie.

Either way. Just no.

Aquamarine1029 · 19/04/2019 03:47

Hideous in my opinion. Harsh and with no appeal. But if you like it that's all that matters.

Nothing wrong with Kirk if you love it use it don't let others change your mind it's your baby

Petalflowers · 18/04/2019 05:46

I know an adult Kirk. Really nice chap, so it’s a yes from me.

MountainPeakGeek · 18/04/2019 05:18

The Star Trek that featured Captain Kirk was decades ago, and won’t mean anything to children/ young people now.

Not so. My kids can't stand the original series heathens! but they both enjoyed the more recent movies with Chris Pine as Kirk.

It's a no from me too.

AlliKaneErikson · 18/04/2019 05:13

Not a fan, sorry.

MumUnderTheMoon · 17/04/2019 23:32

I'm a bit of a Trekkie so I like it.

cheeseypizza · 15/04/2019 13:13

Curtis sounds nice.

nancy75 · 15/04/2019 10:17

The Kirk I know is lovingly (and not so lovingly) called Berk by most of his friends.

cheeseypizza · 15/04/2019 10:15

No, sorry.

NutMeghan · 15/04/2019 08:37

Curtis

Imadehimlikethat · 15/04/2019 08:37

It's just a sound.

Smellslikemiddleagespirit · 15/04/2019 08:37

I quite like it 🤷🏻‍♀️

A lifetime of Star Trek jokes

Kurt

MikeUniformMike · 14/04/2019 19:08

Yeah, why not.
I'm Spartacus!

PompeyBez · 14/04/2019 10:25

Yes! Was on my short list for my DS, but decided he didn't look like a Kirk when he came out Grin

SoHotADragonRetired · 14/04/2019 10:22

No. A lifetime of Spock jokes.

Rosesaredead · 14/04/2019 10:20

No no no

megrichardson · 14/04/2019 08:26

NO, and I say this as a Trekker.

EyeDrops · 14/04/2019 08:21

Captain and Douglas! Sorry, no!

JenniferJareau · 14/04/2019 08:13

First thing that comes into my head is Captain Grin

Bumblebeesmum · 14/04/2019 08:13

No

No

No

heymammy · 13/04/2019 21:39

My 15yr old has two Kirks in her class! I must admit I burst out laughing when she told me, so it's a hard no from me.
