Hi posting on behalf o friend.... “just hoping for some closure on an argument I’m having with my DH (we are gay) I think baby should be called Siegfried (after the recently sadly deceased Siegfried, of Siegfried and Roy) He wants Paul. Who’s right?”

I'm one of the 133 Paul parents from 2018.

Everyone can say it, everyone can spell it, lots of people are pleased because they have a lovely uncle or cousin called it. We haven't encountered any others at baby groups.

The only people who've been sniffy about it have had kids with Unique Spelling type names. Siegfried would presumably go down better with them!

Paul is a good name, but Paul is responsible for some of the only New Testament Bible content that is considered by some homophobic...
Siegfried is terrible.

I know a baby Siegfried and another almost baby Siegfried so it must be becoming more popular! Love Ziggy as a nickname though!

Paolo is cool but I think you should tell them to pick Siegfried, then when they have another DS they can call him Tristan.
CheshireDing and Newton -- i have just realised. I don't know any Daves. Several Johns, a few Mikes and even a Steve or two but not one Dave! This is very sad. #SaveDave indeed.

Surely you would compromise! I give you Siegull. Not a great compromise I’ll admit.

Can’t wait for someone to use Balonz.

I give you Siegull.

Thread’s over ladies and gentlemen. We’ve found a clear winner.

Paul without a doubt!!

Ive had relationships with 2 men called Paul. They were both abusive cunts.

So based on that I say Siegfried.
