Thoughts?

I'm worried it's too out there but I love it for my little boy and really struggling to find anything else we love!

I assume it's a Hebrew name, so don't want to diss it too much in case it's a pretty common name in Jewish circles and the name of many much loved dads, brothers etc. But the only Elon I've heard of is Elon Musk and I dislike him so very very very much that it's a big fat no from me.

Ugh. That man.

Leon is fab.

Probably right...

I like it because I just like the name. Not very up to date on Musk Smile.

Leon is a good shout!

Elon Musk is an utter prick, don't saddle your child with that connection.

Only if the middle name is X Æ A-12

Noooo. No.

My initial response was to think 'surely not'. Sorry OP. Agree that Leon seems like a lovely alternative!!

rightsideoftheroad · 14/12/2021 21:30

Why would you do that? When there is only one person people will associate you DC with and that person is a massive dick!

ISeeTheLight · 14/12/2021 21:29

Absolutely not. Elon Musk is a twat. People will assume you are big fans.

PinotPony · 14/12/2021 21:29

Nope

ladygindiva · 14/12/2021 21:28

As in Musk Grin.

Probably doesn't help our surname also begins with 'M' lol

Musk. No.

Sexnotgender · 14/12/2021 21:23

Like Musk? It’s not my favourite…

KaptainKaveman · 14/12/2021 21:23

Nope.
