What do you think of Lionel for a boy's name? I'm trying to draw up a shortlist at the moment.

It does have a personal association for us. Lionel Blair (nice man though he is) does seem to have spoilt it. We might save it for a middle name.

No, Leo and Leon aren't quite what we're looking for. Thanks for the suggestions.

What other names do you like? It seems like you are quite attached to Lionel, is it a family name? Would you be gutted if DS came along and you couldn't call him Lionel?

If so, call it him, don't listen to the vipers

Not keen, sorry. Do you like any of the other "lion" names like Leo or Leon?

Nooooo - it makes me think of Lionel Blair on 'Give us a Clue'! Really horrid. Sorry

I suspected this may still be the case

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Sorry, excuse me I am being a bitch, but it's a big fat no from me.

Awful. Really awful.

Sorry
