I love it. Unusual but not pretentious, charming for a DS and endearing for a man. Anyone else?

I love Bamber Gascoigne actually, but that's not how I saw it. Apparently it's a family name.

I don't think it is that bad...unusual certainly but not hideous

No, I don't like it. It makes me think of Jeremy Bamber the family annihilator. Sorry.

Irishchic · 08/06/2010 23:48

Sorry but I think you are trying too hard here. It is neither charming nor endearing, just plain odd.

LetThereBeRock · 08/06/2010 23:49

Bamber? Bamber? What hallucinatory substance have you been ingesting?

LOL come on, it's not that bizarre. At least it's not totally invented, or backwards.

Yes it is that bizarre and bloody awful too.

Well it is.

Irishchic · 08/06/2010 23:56

Meadowlarks aren't there any other names that take your fancy?

Well, yes, plenty. But I just ask as I go along.

LetThereBeRock- I sent you a fb message- can you check it?

funnysinthegarden · 08/06/2010 23:58

ML, don't be sad, and you did ask.......There are loads of lovely names out there that are not Bamber....

HelenFF · 08/06/2010 23:59

Thought this was going to be a thread about Jamie Bamber from BSG/Law & Order. Disappointing

I'd say it's ok but I only know it as a surname.

LetThereBeRock · 08/06/2010 23:59

Get a cat/dog/goldfish and call it Bamber. At least it won't hate you when it realises that it's been named Bamber.

Now what other names do you like? There must be others.
