BiFoldChampion · 07/07/2022 17:33

Like the insurance company?

DwightShrutesYFronts · 07/07/2022 17:33

You again 😂😂😂

Skinnermarink · 07/07/2022 17:33

Yeah that’s an insurance company.

Skinnermarink · 07/07/2022 17:33

Oh wait it’s THAT poster

KateMcCallister · 07/07/2022 17:34

Pressed post too soon. Yanbu to call the baby Swinton but yabu if you think they won't get bullied/called Swindon etc

PosiePerkinPootleFlump · 07/07/2022 17:34

It will be misheard as Swindon

lostintheglowofmotherhood · 07/07/2022 17:34

Nice name, but I used it first. 😉

Coldilox · 07/07/2022 17:34

Anyone who calls their child Swinton has obviously never been to the town

PresidentByeThen · 07/07/2022 17:34

Depends if it's his name or not.

Would be a weird thing to do if he was called Gary.

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 07/07/2022 17:35

Very much like Fenton, the runaway dog, please go for it in that case!

Pruella · 07/07/2022 17:35

Swinton is very overused these days, I know 23 Swintons under 4.

HelloSpringIveMissedYou · 07/07/2022 17:35

Middle name Castle?

Go for it Grin

Are you naming him after the run down town near Rotherham?

Are you naming him after the run down town near Rotherham?

I was thinking the area of Salford

sorry but i take offence at that!!!

its a village, not a town....

x2boys · 07/07/2022 17:38

fairgame84 · 07/07/2022 17:36

Are you naming him after the run down town near Rotherham?

Or an area of Salford

x2boys · 07/07/2022 17:42

Worsley would be classier or even Monton?

UrricanesArdlyHeverAppen · 07/07/2022 17:50

What about Hastings? It is also the name of a place and an insurance company if those are your criteria, but it has a bit more oomph about it.

iklboo · 07/07/2022 18:03

No, no. Harpurhey or Blackley are much better names.

NyanBinaryJohn · 07/07/2022 18:06

Will his sister be Tilda?

Wombat27A · 07/07/2022 18:07

Admiral...

No, no. Harpurhey or Blackley are much better names.

Fallowfield has a bit of ring to it ,or east Didsbury if the Op wants her boy to be trendy?

McConkeysPlate · 07/07/2022 18:10

Churchill?

Maybe Farnworth or Astley is a good name for a boy.
