Our surname is Jones and hubby wants a 'rugged' first name to go with it. What do you think?

Logan, after the mountain?

Heated · 11/08/2008 21:33

Albert/Albie, after Alberta?

No it's got to be animal names from now on. I think the name Bear has already been taken. Hippopotamus sounds silly but how about River Horse? That's rugged surely?

minouminou · 11/08/2008 21:32

wow
that's got even me
put it down, and back away now

HotTrouserCough · 11/08/2008 21:31

Sorry but pmsl @ Yukon

Hecate · 11/08/2008 21:29

Honestly? I think it's awful, just awful.

Yukon be serious?

amitymama · 11/08/2008 20:05

There's a truck in America called the Yukon.

Definitely not one I would go for.

piratecat · 11/08/2008 20:04

eh?

BrownSuga · 11/08/2008 20:00

How about Indiana?

LazyLinePainterJane · 11/08/2008 19:59

piratecat, what is wrong with them is that, clearly, they are not potato varieties

Dynamicnanny · 11/08/2008 19:58

It sounds a car dealership

GirlySquare · 11/08/2008 19:53

Yvon of the Yukon

expatinscotland · 11/08/2008 19:44

I think it's so far beyond dumb ass I don't really have words for it.

JuneBugJen · 11/08/2008 19:43

ah - then it is not as terrifying as i first thought if he is from Canada.

How about CN tower then?
Its not rugged but it makes a statement!

piratecat · 11/08/2008 19:41

Thanks. Have told hubby definitely no. It was no before but I'm glad to have some back up.

BTW we've both been to the Yukon, and hubby is Canadian.

Omg I read the title and thought it was asking for holiday recommendations...

For a NAME????? Get a grip!!

If your hubby wants a rugged name to go with Jones then try Vinny.
