And I bloody love the horrified reactions more than the delighted ones:
What???
Oh my god that's a mouthful isn't it?
Is that a name? Oh, I'd call him 'xxx'
It's not even that out there, I think people are just rude, but it cracks me up
AIBU?
We named our baby a marmite name

Taran is great. Is the r rolled and is it male or female, seems to me to fit both.
Zanatdy · 23/01/2023 05:55
I’m Welsh and haven’t heard of most! Seren of course I have, one of my favourite welsh names. I have a Dylan, one of the most common (if not THE most common) Welsh name

Oh no, certainly not in the circles we move in. We only use 'Marm' when addressing the Queen when we used to attend her Gin and Bingo Evenings at her big house in London.
KatherineJaneway · 23/01/2023 16:51
Surely a Marmaduke will just be called Marm for short?
TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 23/01/2023 09:17
In France Marmite is a cooking pot so a couple couldn't really use that as a name so they plumped for Nutella, sadly a court decided...
'The name 'Nutella' given to the child is the trade name of a spread,” the court's official decision read, adding that it is “contrary to the child's interest” to be named Nutella, as it “can only lead to teasing or disparaging thoughts.” The French love Nutella, but apparently not as a baby name.'
So how about Marmaduke for a boy? It has has the spread connotation (marmalade) with an element of royalty thrown in.
For a girl, maybe the hyphenated 'Lemon-Curd'
😁
KatherineJaneway · 24/01/2023 07:36
Ah yes, always remember Marm as in farm not Mam as in ham.
