Avon?

[mrsruffallo]

Our surname is Barksdale- what do you think?

Sounds like a cosmetic to me.

I have heard of an Avalon - nice, I personally wouldn't use it but it is pretty.

It's for a boy

no doubt, yo

Avon catalogue, Avon ladies, ding dong avon calling..
I may be showing my age tho

You want to call your boy after a brand of lipstick?

Err, um, yeah, it's really nice - go for it if you like it.

ooops sorry

reminds me of Blake's 7 - now that is showing my age!

Sorry, never had of blakes seven

calalillies- I feel you

You're obviously not old enough to remember Blakes 7

Not sure, but think Avon Barksdale was a character in The Wire, a drug dealing gangsta!!
However I think it has a very nice ring to it if you can get past that.....

Are you joking? Because yes Avon Barksdale was a lead character in The Wire; (best TV show ever ever ever)

Hmmm Avon.

for real

true dat!

I bloody LOVE Stringer Bell and Omar.

Blakes 7. Avon was the really sarcastic one we all lusted after.

Along with Bodie but not Doyle.

I just think of the filthy bit of river that flows past my aunt's house! Sorry.

Avon from Blake's 7 - and Sky is doing a re-make so people will be re-introduced to the name via that.

Also Avon Barksdale = The Wire.

Another one who remembers Blake's 7 and will forever associate the name with that character. DawnTigga - I got Paul Darrow's autograph once!

D'Angelo then?

Sci-fi pedant moment, his name was Kerr Avon.
