Bruce, yes totally. Put that on the list.

Brothers Victor, Bruce and Frankie. That is so sharp it hurts to type it. Love it.

GreenElizabeth · 28/05/2008 20:27

Linda and Roger!? Wow, that really is middle-aged chic with go faster stripes.

I like Belinda, Valerie, Sylvia, Kathleen, Margaret, Victor, Vincent, Frankie, Peter, Gordon, Philip, Richard, Paul, Geoff.

These will be cropping up in chic urban creches before too.

Diz if you had added Bruce with two of your last boys suggestions, you would have my brothers, aged 46 46 and 52

rory and jamie very popular north of the border with us

When I was at primary school there were little four year olds called:

Maurice
Rory
Jamie
Andrew
Peter
Simon
Darren
Darryl
Christopher
Neil
Ian
Lee

and

Linda
Georgina
Debbie
Susan
Jane
Melissa
Gail
Alison
Gemma

With the exception of Georgina I find it impossible to imagine calling a baby any of those names.

What's wrong with George Henry by the way? Eh? (Need a fight emoticon)

DSD goes to school with a Linda and a Roger.

It's just not right.

My MIL reckons Doris, Shirley, Doreen and Sheila will come back around the time ds is choosing names for his own children - on the grounds that Ivy, Archie, Stanley and so on are currently hot.

AbbeyA · 28/05/2008 19:38

I dislike everything mentioned. They are dated and will date again quickly!

I think the uncoolist names you can think of belong to people 10 - 15 yrs older than you.

Linda
Deborah

Keith
Adrian

For me!

LynetteScavo · 28/05/2008 19:07

I think Eric is already comming...and Frank.

I love the name Vanessa.

CantSleepWontSleep · 28/05/2008 19:05

Veronica (it only has one r) was on our contenders list if this bump had been a girl, but it isn't.

My mum today suggested Graham (which can be spelt Graham or Graeme) for our ds. We laughed. It's already my brother's middle name .
