What do you think of Neville as a boy's name?

Neville's best friend is called Bernard and works in Accounts, where he has had the same job for 23 years.

Oh Lulu did you roar with laughter at the wedding vows?

Or is your middle name Dierdre or something so it all balanced out (and your whole congregation had a laugh at both of your expense)

My DH's middle name - Hahahhahahahahha!

He also takes in his sandwiches to work (luncheon meat) and chews them all very thoroughly, before carefully folding up the greaseproof paper his sandwiches came in to use again tomorrow.

His mum makes his sandwiches.

He also masturbates furiously.

Neville Longbottom was a character in Harry Potter.

A nice, snowy white male moggy. Neville. That really seemed to suit.

But we got a Smokey instead.

Spittle gathers at the corners of his mouth and you can't help but look at it. His hands are hammy and you hope that in some drunken moment he doesn't put them on you.

ALL boy's names with a V in are deeply suspect.

Neville
Mervyn
Melvin
Vincent
Dave
Alvin
Vince
Kevin
Kelvin

If you name a boy this he will grow up looking like Jacob Rees Mogg.

I considered it as a cat name.

paulaplumpbottom · 10/05/2010 16:16

Like Neville Chamberline?

Its says whiney mommas boy to me

LetThereBeRock · 10/05/2010 16:15

I can't imagine it is.I certainly hope not.

It's such a geeky name, it's so wet. Not geeky in a good way either.

Do you think it is ready for a comeback? I met a 3 year old Nev the other day and I really liked it.

I think it's OK, makes a change anyway.

Don't like it, Neville to me means 60's, retired something-or-other.

LetThereBeRock · 10/05/2010 16:11

Truly awful.
