Are you aware of the Twilight issue?

Please don't.

It will identify you immediately as a Twihard and date very quickly.

Sorry being Scottish the first thing I'd think of was the soup Cullen Skink

LittleCheesyPineappleOne · 27/09/2010 20:14

It's not my cuppa, but if you love it why not?

Yip, my first thought was Cullen Skink too!

sarahscot · 27/09/2010 20:37

I quite like it, go for it.

EsmeWeatherwax · 27/09/2010 20:40

I wouldn't, but then it is my second name! If you're in Scotland you will get the cullen skink thing though, i do quite frequently.

bigstripeytiger · 27/09/2010 20:41

It makes me think of cullen skink too.

Puppycat · 27/09/2010 20:41

I love it, but the TTS association would put me off, even though I love that too.

LetThereBeRock · 27/09/2010 20:45

Awful. It makes me think of the fish soup.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 27/09/2010 20:47

It's awful sorry.
If you are a Twilight fan there are sooo many more names to choose from!

DuelingFanjo · 27/09/2010 20:47

Oh God, NO!

Hedgeblunder · 27/09/2010 20:48

What about twihardlight names? I looove them ESP. Jasper!

LauraNorder · 27/09/2010 20:48

I would think you were just a little bit too taken with Twilight I'm afraid!

pointydog · 27/09/2010 20:48

skink

MollysChambers · 27/09/2010 20:48

Stinky Skinky for ever more I'm afraid.

The Twilight issue never crossed my mind.

I don;t know if you're aware but Cullens was a convenience store chain that was bought out by Tesco. Cullen just made me think of a corner shop.

Why not call him Edward?!

nooka · 28/09/2010 05:45

I think it's just rather ugly (cullen sullen). But I really dislike surnames as first names.

Miasma · 28/09/2010 05:54

Please don't.

It'll be like 80's Kylies or 90's Chesneys. In a few years you'll really really wish you hadn't gone there.

It's actually quite sad. This is a joke right ?

My friend has a Cullen, he is 9 so no Twilight connection...

He was called after the Scottish village....which is my favourite place in the world so I think its fabulous...
