terrible

do not do it

you would have to be as cool as Vernon Kay to get away with a name like Vernon or Reginald

and if he is not then he would be bullied forever

no no no

I actually snorted when I read this.

So that's a no from me. As Deborah Meaden would say.

I know a baby called Reggie - it's sweet!

Reginald is horrid, though.

I like it.

It reminds me of a tiny baby I met at NCT group called Reg because his parents were yet to register him. But it stuck and he was cute in a wrinkly walnut new baby kind of way.

But then I like names that make small boys sound like gangsters.

MadameCastafiore · 15/08/2008 18:48

Reggie sounda a bit Ronnieish - so chavvy IMHO!

Tortington · 15/08/2008 18:47

myalias · 15/08/2008 18:47

Kray or Perrin spring to mind
