He's from the Jungle Book, isn't he?

MsHighwater · 22/11/2008 20:37

As if that wasn't bad enough but his surname is Wentz. Bronx Wentz? That's just cruel.

RipMacWinkle · 23/11/2008 11:55

Ha ha ha ha.

That's all I can say.

Poor kid. Might as well book the therapy now.

At a guess, that name will be quoted in "oddest celeb baby names" for the next few years.

How would that translate over here?

Streatham Tigger?

edam · 23/11/2008 12:26

You don't need to translate Mowgli, Rudyard Kipling was British.

DeathByMonkey · 23/11/2008 13:30

Oh god, even with the "must be different, must be original" compulsion even slightly famous people seem to get, that's just frigging cruel - ugly, harsh, nonsensical. It's not a wind up is it, maybe he's actually called Timothy!

DeathByMonkey · 23/11/2008 13:33

(obviously no disrespect meant to any Timothys out there - tis a fine name I'm sure)

PootyApplewater · 23/11/2008 13:33

Scunthorpe Baloo has a certain ring.

TheNewsMongrel · 23/11/2008 13:33

names ending in x are very sleb.
chicken mowgli, yum yum.

You forgot Pax, Lockets! The child army will not be pleased!

Perhaps I should rename dts, well they might be nearly 7 but I'm beginning to think that being named after the first man and an Celtic King is rather boring.

Bonus is they could both technically be called Broxburn, hence getting the trendy x in there!

TheNewsMongrel · 23/11/2008 15:13

Vox would be a good one for a singer.

SomeKindofWonderful · 23/11/2008 19:07

ponders ROFL - DH andI said this morning after I read him this thread that we would call ou next child 'Queens Totoro' as his family live in Queens!

hifi · 24/11/2008 14:56
