Can I?
Be as blunt as y'all like.

Fleece blanket! Surely not.....a good sturdy set of birch shelves, more like.

Not terribly keen on Tostig. Stigan brings Stig of the Dump to mind..sorry!

I know, I know, I can't do it, but it doesn't stop me loving it.
Stigan or Stigand is another variation, which removes the "tosser" element

Yeah, I thought Ikea too. Maybe a fondue set or a fleece blanket with a bold pattern of circles.

Save it for a cat, I'm afraid.

I think I agree with your DP. He should choose this time round

TsarChasm · 02/07/2008 11:43

Please..step away from it.

themildmannneredjanitor · 02/07/2008 11:41

tostig would be child abuse.
do NOT do it.

Ikea furniture ?

teased as "tosser" at school ?

You can't even be considering inflicting your poncey tendancies on this child unless you have limitless funds to send him to a private school all his life.

We've been through the tosser thing, and i know it's inevitable, which is why i'm trying to resist.

I think it's quite cute. Not really a name I would choose but quite cute nonetheless

Um, what about when he gets nicknamed Tosser at school? Usually I am all for frou frou names, esp for boys, but Tostig is a ponce too far IMO.

Ha! S'alright, it'll fit in with my surname!
Any more?
On the two-week wait at the mo, and poor DP's already getting nervous....says he should choose this time round.

Um, the first thing I thought was IKEA furniture which always seems to be called stuff like Tostig.

Brutal but true
