Nope! Not a family name or anything of that sort ... we wanted to have a name that was not too common (looks like we have succeeded in having the most unique name for all the wrong reasons!!!)

We had gone thru some websites and decided on this in a matter of 5 mins (after searching for nearly 3 months). So kinda really loved it, me, DH, MIL, SIL everyone! .... we have to be people with bad taste!!

Sealey sounds ridiculous.

AitchTwoOh · 12/08/2009 11:47

it is awesome, i agree. sal is very cool.

what's the deal with sealey, is it a family surname or something?

Salvatore is an awesome name - Sal for short.

Sealey sounds daft (sorry if you've already used it!) and sounds like a nickname or corporate name or something.

If it's too late to change anything, I'd start using Salvatore as his given name, and see how it sticks.

and tbh i think that silly isn't the worst nickname in the world even if they do pick up on it, which they mightn't.

AitchTwoOh · 12/08/2009 11:43

oh shit, sorry. i think salvatore is an AMAZING name, tbh, i'd be inclined to use that. it's so strong and inspiring.

geekgirl · 12/08/2009 11:43

oh dear! Well you did ask...

Any chance of going with Salvatore?

AitchTwoOh · 12/08/2009 11:42

ROFL at walrussy

HolidaysQueen · 12/08/2009 11:41

Would probably get nicknamed Silly...

MamaG · 12/08/2009 11:41

It sounds like Whaley or Walrussy

don't do it

LobstersLass · 12/08/2009 11:41

It sounds ridiculous.

It would never get pronounced like that and he would be called Silly by kids at school.

It's also a make of mattress.

geekgirl · 12/08/2009 11:40

no don't. It sounds completely made up, plus it's a brand name for heavy-duty powertools.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 12/08/2009 11:38

Would be bloody awful if developed a lisp.
