For a baby boy born today!
It’s the name the Met Office have given this storm. So what do you think?

I like it.

Born in a storm - it’s a nice story.

Sorry. Reread the weather forecast and it’s looking like it could get vicious. Why do they give them names?

It's such an ordinary name the storm won’t affect it, I don’t think.

It will if he asks why you chose that name. Then tells people.

If the storm is as bad as they are saying and there is loss of life, would you still like to use the name?

It would be a bit old mannish in Ireland but it's a lovely name and I'd keep the correct Irish spelling.

We have a chap in our family with this name, he's lovely and so is the name.

Holidayhell22 · 31/10/2023 19:18

Love it. Keep that spelling too.

Love it … think it’s gorgeous, yes a lot of people may mispronounce it but I’d take the risk it’s lovely

Love it. And definitely keep the Irish spelling. People can just learn to spell it properly and not be ignorant. 🙂
