My younger brother had a little friend called Fenton back in the early 90's, he had well known and wealthy parents and lived in a beautiful house. I think its a nice name but yeah the dog has kind of ruined it for people now I think!

Deer video here too. Plus it does sound like a surname. Sorry OP (and I'm a fan of weird names)

Stravapalava · 09/06/2019 20:33

Reminds me a bit of Renton - Trainspotting or Trenton in New Jersey. It's not a "nice" sound to me.

I wonder if Fenton is still chasing after the deer and Fenton's owner is still wheezing after him, his 'Jesus Christ. Fenntooooon!' now a mere hoarse whisper.

Sorry but I would think of that Fenton! clip

Patsy Palmer (East Enders) has a son called Fenton.

Fintan is great.

I taught a fintan he was a lovely cheeky boy

Would have to hope yours wasn't a bolder... otherwise deja vu with the dog - my lab has much better recall than my toddler/preschooler...

Like others it makes me think of a Fenton's procedure (having episiotomy repaired). Having had 2 the name makes me queasy.

Maybe Longton or Middleport?

Fenton is the bit of Stoke-on-Trent which I always used to get lost in before Sat Nav.
I wouldn’t name a kid after it. It’s no Brooklyn.

TatianaLarina · 09/06/2019 12:15

Will never forget Fenton. Funnily thought the man was my neighbour.

BBInGinDrinking · 09/06/2019 10:33

If you like the name OP, go for it. Anyway, it could be a stress-busting source of amusement to you to 'own' the video pps mention when your baby won't sleep, has done a particularly gruesome nappy, splats you with pasta sauce or is toddling at high speed towards your sofa and walls with loaded finger-painting hands. Fenton! FENTON!! FEN-TON!!!

Thismummyruns · 08/06/2019 23:23

Forgot about Fenton the dog Grin

FenellaMaxwell · 08/06/2019 23:16

Just needed to make sure someone had said JESUS CHRIST!!!! Grin

OKBobble · 08/06/2019 22:02

Another one who has had a Fenton's procedure to repair my double episiotomy so unless I had twins and called them Fenton and Fanny it wouldn't work for me Grin

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 08/06/2019 21:58

You must be barking.

Bringonspring · 08/06/2019 21:57

Hahaha it made me think of the dog video!!

SurreyisSunny · 08/06/2019 21:56

Lovely name and lovely dog ;)

ReganSomerset · 08/06/2019 20:49

Fenton. Fenton! FENTONNNN!!!

autumnkate · 08/06/2019 20:42

Reminds me of the word felon

YeOldeTrout · 08/06/2019 20:02

I (also!) know one who is nearly 18. Nice kid. Very popular with peers.

Fulltimemummy85 · 08/06/2019 19:54

Reminds me of Leighton

Awful. Had a PE teacher called Mr Fenton, he was a bellend.
