No, many names out there, why choose Swindon!

MistyGreenAndBlue · 07/07/2022 20:34

I thought Swinton was a girl's name. You don't want him misgendered, do you?

MissWired · 07/07/2022 20:35

Rawmarsh is WAY better for't little lad.

I am named after the town I am from; Littleborough.

I'm proud of it. When I was old enough, I had it tattooed along the length of my penis to show off how proud I was when he stands up erect. When not erect, it just reads as LTB.

Mexborough or Rawmarsh might be better 😃

No wait...wait wait...Hooton Roberts.

There! It's settled. And I won't even charge you for this service.

How about Maltby? (for all those Rotherhamites.....)

I prefer Brinsworth... & Kimberworth for a girl. Our’ Brin & Kim.

@x2boys - oh definitely. Imagine being called Lower Kearsal or Little Hulton! 😂

MissWired · 07/07/2022 20:47

One more thing... Don't be tempted by Thrybergh, he'll never forgive you.

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

Exactly 😂😂

Place with a nice restaurant with rooms in my neck of the woods. You could go with Edrom to Forgo to maybe Fogorig or Gavinton nn Vinton (makes a change from Gavin....)
