Original poster

Toltson - a name we are considering for firstborn son

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I was hoping to get feedback on a name I like for my firstborn. Obviously, this is vastly different from the names you typically see on these types of forums and I wanted to see what everyone's thoughts are.

I'm set on having something old-fashioned, perhaps borderline antiquated because these are the type of names I like. I think they are unique. This one I made up myself (which makes me like it even moreGrin) so I wanted to get opinions from others because I have been in deep thought about it for a while now.

This being my first born, I was thinking I may name the second-born Oltson (if its a boy)? So it would be Toltson & Oltson. This is just an idea though.

Let me know your thoughts! Smile

"I think you’d be better off going for Oltson for the first boy, followed by Mittelson and Jungson. HTH."🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think you’d be better off going for Oltson for the first boy, followed by Mittelson and Jungson. HTH.

This is either a huge wind up, or someone is hugely embarrassed at their choice of baby name. If that's the case, some poor little mite won't be saddled with a name he will have to spend his life having to explain.

I gave my kids names which were slightly unusual at the time, but they both have utterly conventional second names. The idea was that if they didn't like their names they could use the second one.

If this thread was at troll it would have been zapped by now, which suggests it was real and that someone does actually want to name their child dolt, or zolt or whatever.

Is the poster a pop star from the sixties?

Toltson and Oltson sounds like a hardware store tbh

fmlfmlfmlfm · 11/12/2020 19:17

Your baby your choice I think it sounds like an Ikea dresser but I also know children that are named after food items and it doesn't phase anyone x

WhereverIGoddamnLike · 11/12/2020 16:11

What about Holston? That's an actual name (and also the name if a character in a book I love).

Why would anyone report this thread. Yes it’s a joke, but it’s not offensive to anyone and some of the responses on here have giving me a right laugh.
