You must be. Quentin Quizling is clearly superior.

krisskross · 29/10/2010 16:02

monty was our no.1 for DC no 2, but DC no 2 was unexpectedly a girl!

crispin- isnt that the name of 'modern parents' child in viz?

GeraldineAubergine · 29/10/2010 16:03

Tarquin farquhar tops both. :)

Tortington · 29/10/2010 16:03

totally barmy

Tortington · 29/10/2010 16:04

nowt wrong with gary - use gary

ConfusedMUM75 · 29/10/2010 16:04

I love Monty, but DH hates it. Crispin means "a curly child" and all DCs are very curly, thought it was cute...

Crispin is awful.

I know a little Monty. Thought it was a bit try hard at first, but it suits him.

ConfusedMUM75 · 29/10/2010 16:24

Well, the thing is, I am foreign, so I usually choose names because I like the sound of them, but never sure how it sounds to others. By the way the oldest are called Elliott and Spencer.

Crispin puts me in mind of Quentin Crisp, the naked civil servant.
If I were you, I'd take the advice offered, go with Gary (or Keith)

ConfusedMUM75 · 29/10/2010 16:27

Eww, dont like Gary at all. Keith is ok, but does not go with our family name I am afraid...

Confused not that that is difficult at the moment.
Can't be arsed to google the name (unless you are pulling my leg)

GeorgeOsborne · 29/10/2010 18:06

I like it - Monty especially

JamieLeeCurtis · 29/10/2010 18:13

Yabu

FlumpetMum · 29/10/2010 18:16

Crispin WTF? Why do you hate this child?

ThighsWideShitItsAGhost · 29/10/2010 18:18

Paul should be used more often. Paul is, well, nice. Yes?

ConfusedMUM75 · 29/10/2010 18:38

So I guess it a no then... :O

I don't personally like Crispin much (preferring "woody" to "tinny" - anyone else remember that Two Ronnie's sketch?) but there isn't anything wrong with it.

I think Montgomery's fab!

valiumskeleton · 29/10/2010 18:45

to quote summer roberts

'eeeooo'

mopsyflopsy · 29/10/2010 18:49

I think Monty and Quentin are fab!

But Crispin reminds me of crisp bread, especially when shortened to Crisp.

ConfusedMUM75 · 29/10/2010 18:53

Think Will go for Montgomeray as a first name then. Any nice middle names to go with it?

OP posts:
ConfusedMUM75 · 29/10/2010 18:53

Montgomery! Grr, cant spell today!

rachel1970 · 29/10/2010 18:58

Reminds me of Crispin Glover. No bad association imo Smile.

The only thing that would put me off is the nickname Crisp.

I love Monty and Quentin, by the way. Less keen on Tarquin.

ConfusedMUM75 · 29/10/2010 19:07

Eww, Crisp. Now you really managed to put me off. LOL.
