I like Hector. It's great for a small child or an adult and is a lovely, substantial, traditional sounding name.
Go for it.
(can't believe people are saying no to it actually....William is lovely too).

Anyone old enough to remember the children's programme Hector's House, with "silly old Hector"?

No, I'm not either...

I like it. Although Hector is a gangster in a song by Morrissey and there used to be a programme called 'Hector's House' - I still like it though!

I think it is sweet.

VerynicenonacidicTits · 07/03/2009 20:34

And i adore william, always have

PeppermintPatty · 07/03/2009 20:33

Yes I like. There is a little baby called Hector on our street. I thought it was very unusual at first but it seems to be coming back

GossipMonger · 07/03/2009 20:33

No

Not nice at all.

'This is your Captain Hector Maynard speaking.' I would think he was a wally and unable to fly the plane!

'This is Hector Wright. News at 10. In the Gulf.' No. Not cool at all.

sorry - you did ask.

hercules1 · 07/03/2009 20:32

No to hector, I like William though.

moondog · 07/03/2009 20:31
