I always thought it was slang for a Land Rover.. many of the car dealers I know use it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Calrissian? Nah, mate.

Although it’s better than Chewbacca, I suppose.

I absolutely love it! It was our second choice for our DS. We're huge F1 fans in the house but I wasn't going to name DS after Lando Norris. We just love the name!

Great name. #4

'You Lando' in our house is a synonym for treachery, but I think we are nerdy. To be honest it's either a Star Wars name or a rather dull one

It's a nope from me.

I’d assume you were into Formula 1. I like Orlando, but not Lando as a stand-alone.

Only if your surname is Calrissian.

And you want your child's name to be associated with the person who lost the Millennium Falcon (to the coolest guy in the galaxy) in a card game.

I would just go for Lando. Oh I'm not sure where the name comes from, I'll have to look into that. My mother suggested it and I do really like it.

I actually quite like it but people will probably wonder if it's short for something. There's an F1 driver called Lando Norris, and his mum is Belgian - is that where it comes from?

ofwarren · 16/06/2022 23:27

It's okay as a nickname for Orlando. I'm not keen as a stand alone name.

BreadInCaptivity · 16/06/2022 23:26

Only if your surname is Calrissian.

Short for Orlando?
