A serious question- is silly, bold or cool?

i like 'colander'

LynetteScavo · 09/03/2009 14:57

My DH would call him "Wolf boy".

LynetteScavo · 09/03/2009 14:56

No

It's silly

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 14:55

Giraffe has quite an elegant ring to it. I quite like it

chisigirl · 09/03/2009 14:54

No

MrsMattie · 09/03/2009 14:52

NO.

Coldtits · 09/03/2009 14:51

It's silly. Very very silly. You might as well call the child Giraffe and have done with it.

LavenderStar · 09/03/2009 14:49

Upper class prep school name?!?

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 14:47

I quite like it
But am really not confident that I'd want to inflict it on my child to carry off. What if he was a wee, shy, retiring, bookish chap with glasses who ended up being a librarians assistant or something? Fine if he ends up a famous actor or rugby player or something tho. But really you can't tell in a new born can you!
Wolfgang is lovely too though......[hmm hmm, perhaps only with german parents?]
It's actually growing on me, I can feel it.
Wolfgang, Wolfgang, Wolfgang.
[adds to own list of names for DC using very pale pencil]

I also like Tiger but for a nickname, not as a real name.

EldonAve · 09/03/2009 14:44

I like it but would use Wolfgang and then shorten it

noddyholder · 09/03/2009 14:41

i like it a lot.Agree that it has upper class prep school feel as could be dodgy otherwise and a bit wrestler-ish.Tiger sweet too and kitten

GorgonsGin · 09/03/2009 14:41

erm...NO!

nickytwotimes · 09/03/2009 14:40

Silly.
Fine as a shortened version of Wolfgang if you are German, but no, not as a name.

edam · 09/03/2009 14:39

don't be daft!

suwoo · 09/03/2009 14:38

I really do prefer Wolf to Tiger. I can't wait to see what you decide on MrsRuffallo, I have enjoyed your name threads. When are you due?

kittywise · 09/03/2009 14:38

crap, really really stupidly crap.

bettany · 09/03/2009 14:38

No

Rindercella · 09/03/2009 14:36

Nope. No way. Do not do it. Please!!! IT IS NOT COOL.

toddlerama · 09/03/2009 14:26

I know someone with a DS called Tiger. Twats

belgo · 09/03/2009 14:19

Leon is another cool 'animal' name.

LavenderStar · 09/03/2009 14:15

NO WAY! You might as well call it Tiger.

belgo · 09/03/2009 14:14
