It isn't that unusual in America as a first name.

Reminds me of the crisp advert ‘canny bag of Tudor’, but then I’m showing my age Grin

Cbeebiesrehab · 28/06/2019 23:28

Perfectly fine name (I am welsh though)

Kids are far more accepting that Mumsnet gives them credit for. And if children are going to pick on a peer they will find something regardless of their name. There is such a range of unusual names nowadays I doubt his classmates would bat an eyelid.

It's a lovely name. Seriously love it. Go for it OP!

AzraiL · 28/06/2019 22:26

No.

They're goung to call him Turd-or in school.

foreverhanging · 28/06/2019 22:24

Sorry, it's a no from me

JennaOfEluria · 28/06/2019 21:58

All the Tudors I know are old men now...but I've grown up with it being a pretty normal man's name and quite like it to be honest.

The only thing that would stop me using it is the surname. If your surname could be interchangeable with a first name (e.g. Mitchell, David, Thomas etc) then I'd think of something else because it could cause confusion as Tudor isn't common at the moment.

Tudor and Angharad were obviously welsh though.

AnonymousP · 28/06/2019 21:15

I like it! I actually met a man called Tudor for the first time a few weeks ago. V cool and unusual but not OTT or trendy (in my opinion). Go for it!

namestar · 28/06/2019 21:05

Tudor crisps. Sorry.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 28/06/2019 20:56

I knew a Tudor years ago, he had a sister called Angharad. Both lovely names

Fatkins · 28/06/2019 20:56

Thanks for confirming that Mike.

I know an adult Tudor. It's still a bit weird and I think he's very bored of people commenting on it.

Chewbecca · 28/06/2019 20:38

There was a gorgeous little boy called Tudor on Child Genius a few years back. I wanted to adopt him, his parents were so pushy. It made me like the name.

Sarcelle · 28/06/2019 20:36

Tenpole?

Perch · 28/06/2019 20:34

No please don’t poor child. Toren?

CatSmize · 28/06/2019 20:32

Love it.

Ladymargarethall · 28/06/2019 20:05

Two of my children were taught by a Tudor Welshsurname. If you are in Wales or have a Welsh surname probably fine. Otherwise maybe not.

MikeUniformMike · 28/06/2019 20:04

Parry is from ap Harri, Pugh from ap Huw...

MikeUniformMike · 28/06/2019 20:02

ap does mean son of.
Many welsh surnames start with B or P indicating 'son of'.
Examples include Parry, Pugh, Bowen and Bevan.
Tudor is also a welsh surname, as is Lloyd.

We don't live far from wales so maybe we can get away with it.

Ridiculous name.

YouJustDoYou · 28/06/2019 19:53

Bully magnet.

EmrysAtticus · 28/06/2019 19:52

It's not to my taste but a perfectly normal name here in Wales :)

SimonJT · 28/06/2019 19:50

I think it’s a lovely name (but then I would be biased) it’s fairly common in easter europe.
