Boris baby called Tom?

Itoldyouiwasill · 30/04/2020 09:44

Just pondering that it would be so touching if Boris called this latest baby Tom after Colonel Tom Moore.
I think when there's a story behind a name it adds so much more meaning

I am no Tory and not a Boris fan but some of you are proper spiteful aren't you ? Bet you were proper bullies in school .

What do you think is more spiteful, having a 10 year old DD whom you refuse to acknowledge or even meet, or people on the internet mentioning that a public figure, in a position of trust, has behaved appallingly towards his own child?

heartsonacake · 30/04/2020 11:52

It would be ridiculous. He has no connection to this man Confused

x2boys · 30/04/2020 11:57

And do we know for a fact Boris has refused to see or acknowledge his ten year old daughter ? As often theses things are far from black and white and it's a ten year old child who has a right to her own privacy ,but let's face it posters couldn't give a shit about any of Boris,s kids but they just want to be " out raged " about something they could ,nt possibly know all the details about

Couod name it Sixth, like JRM did. Help keep track of where he is.

Thomas is a great choice of a name, if they do.

NewName54321 · 30/04/2020 13:19

Could name it Sixth, like JRM did. Help keep track of where he is.

Imagine the speculation then if they named him Seven or Octo...

Gotta be Winston announced next Friday, surely?

I read that as Wilson, as in Friday Night Dinner

He has no connection to most of his children by all accounts but he presumably was still involved in naming them.

MarshaBradyo · 30/04/2020 20:51

I hope not I’d find it very cringe-worthy

Mixingitall · 30/04/2020 20:53

Tom and Luis are both lovely names.

I am sure whatever the name is, it will be something they like above what the public think.

Pedallleur · 30/04/2020 21:49

Prob be some latin/Greek name.

usersouthcoast · 30/04/2020 21:59

One of my sons is Thomas, it's a lovely name in my opinion.

Boris and his partner can pick whatever name for their son they like and it's absolutely no one else's business 👍🏻

UnholyStramash · 30/04/2020 22:01

The children Johnson has with wife#2 have really weird names. I can’t recall what they are but think Bob Geldof weird. This child could of course be unique in having a normal name like Tom.

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 30/04/2020 22:18

Let's face it whatever they call the baby posters on here will snipe and bitch about it that's certain

very true Grin
I even went "what's wrong with Tom?!" before brain kicked in why people were moaning lol.
Any name people will twist and moan at if they're that way inclined.

MrsPeacockInTheLibrary · 30/04/2020 22:36

I think he will be Winston Wellington Elizabeth Spitfire WiffWaff Bunting Johnson

Ariela · 30/04/2020 22:40

@UnholyStramash
Theodore Apollo Johnson, Lara Lettice Johnson, Cassia Peaches Johnson, Milo Arthur Johnson

Etinox · 30/04/2020 22:41

What’s the Luis connection?

NewName54321 · 30/04/2020 23:48

Luis was one of the nurses at St. Thomas's Hospital that Boris named as having basically saved his life. The other was Jenny.

HopeClearwater · 30/04/2020 23:53

The left will be nasty and vicious about it

‘The left’ ?

How many people are in this Left? How can you tell if a person is Left? If you don’t like Boris Johnson’s history of philandering, does that make you Left? Genuinely interested.

JamieLeeCurtains · 01/05/2020 00:04

I think it'll be quite posh but boring like Rufus Cedric

UnholyStramash · 01/05/2020 00:13

@Ariela, thank you, you’ve saved me a sleepless night. Hmm

Downton57 · 01/05/2020 00:23

Why are people in England celebrating Boris's 6th/7th whatever child, when he has been a dreadful parent to the rest?

Ariela · 01/05/2020 00:25

Reckon middle name will be something like Matthew or John.

Laslow · 01/05/2020 00:32

Very true Downton...is anyone certain what number this one is?
