yes Fenton is now officially a dog's name

It's a rough area of Stoke-on-Trent.

I honestly love the name. My first choice is harrison i think, but there are just so may options

It sounds a little bit like the name of a prison, probably because it puts me in mind of Feltham young offenders institute.

I hadn't heard of that doggy video, so the name doesn't have that connection for me. I know a boy called Fenton and he's a lovely little chap. His siblings all have names from Shakespeare. Not everyone wants a name from the top ten list after all.

Also came to watch the video. Fenton forever more will be a running lab accompanied by Jesus Christ.

The title of the thread made me smile because I immediately thought of the dog.

PuppyMonkey · 07/06/2019 11:53

Only came on the thread as I knew someone would post that video.Grin

Thank you everyone! I did also think of the brilliant dog video but thought it might just be me! I like the name but I think I will save it for our next dog perhaps. I will show this to my OH who will hopefully now believe my concerns. Great responses from everyone - thank you! Back to the drawing board!!!!

Feltham (young offenders institute)
Fentanyl (opioid)

I've not seen the dog video.

eurochick · 07/06/2019 11:47

It's the dog video for me too.

bruffin · 07/06/2019 11:47

Worst performance parenting I have seen was a Fenton on a train from Cambridge.
We heard the name so many times , put me off but dont like surname names much any way.

TheChineseChicken · 07/06/2019 11:45

Thanks for posting that video - gave me a good laugh!

CaMePlaitPas · 07/06/2019 11:44

The dog vid

onefatblackcat · 07/06/2019 11:44

Fiontan is much nicer

Toddlerteaplease · 07/06/2019 11:42

And I really wanted to call one of my cats Fentanyl.

Toddlerteaplease · 07/06/2019 11:39

The dog video here too!

RuffleCrow · 07/06/2019 11:34

Isn't there an Archers character with this name?

BlueberryFool123 · 07/06/2019 11:34

Definite no from me. I had a Fenton’s procedure after DC1. If you call him Fenton don’t be surprised if at baby groups you get a grimace from such Mum who had a tear/episiotomy that went wrong...
