i know people will say its none of my business but i will be watching him when she goes back to work and i really cant imagine myself shouting this name out around tesco's.

is there ever a right time to tell someone the name they have chosen is terrible or is it always best to not say a thing.

i can see his whole life being spoilt by this name (yes it is that bad)

it's Horace, isn't it?

Miggsie · 03/03/2008 21:33

They'll have to send him to a private school with a name like that...!

And don't ever buy him a telescope.
And he won't be able to play pirates
Don't let him meet any girls called Emma

My dad is terrible with names and calls all his grandchildren "fishface" which they don't seem to mind.
