There's a lot of names on Mumsnet that get love but don't in the real world - it seems this is one of them, it's terrible!

Cup?

Bigearringsbigsmile · 20/04/2024 23:28

Not
It is awful

It's very much in the current trend of old man names, which means it will date. I don't mind it as a name though.

I used to know a Great Dane called Stanley, he was a good egg.

Road.
(Paul walker cd). Sorry.

Not keen, personally. But I just don’t like ‘old man’ names. If you like it, go for it.

I love Stanley! I know a fab 11 year old Stanley and it suits him brilliantly.
