Google Emmet and Cornwall. Not a good combination.

Maternelle · 01/11/2010 19:56

I like it.

MardyBra · 01/11/2010 19:58

Suggests grockles in Cornwall or sad Twilight devotee IMO.

smilingserenely · 01/11/2010 19:59

love it

hocuspontas · 01/11/2010 20:02

I thought it was another name for an ant but I may have got that wrong.

Have you been reading Twilight? I'm a bit mmmnnnneeehhh, don't hate it, but don't like it either.

rachel1970 · 01/11/2010 20:04

Really like it.

HelenaRose · 01/11/2010 20:05

Back to the Future! :o

Lavitabellissima · 01/11/2010 20:07

I like the twilight connection but am Cornish and it is a rather derogatory word for a holiday maker unfortunately Sad

sunshineleah · 01/11/2010 20:09

Def BTTF and not bloody Twilight!

I love it, but I love Doc Brown so... biased!

Isn't that a Cornish word for a tourist???

CornishKK · 01/11/2010 20:50

Nooooooo!

Faaamily · 01/11/2010 20:51

Makes me think of Emmet Till. Not a huge deal in the UK, but in the USA the name has very strong connotations.

CornishKK · 01/11/2010 20:52

That was noooo to the name, not no to cece. It is Cornish for ant and as Lavita says a derogatory term for a tourist.

RhinestoneCowgirl · 01/11/2010 20:52

It means ant doesn't it?

LetThereBeRock · 01/11/2010 21:00

It makes me think of Emmett Till too,and the cruelty that was inflicted upon him.

EdgarAirbombPoe · 01/11/2010 21:02

No. he'll never pull in cornwall.

Teapot13 · 01/11/2010 21:03

I know two dogs named Emmett.

Hulababy · 01/11/2010 21:05

It is the latter half of the solictors firm DH is a partner at, so not really an option here, lol.

TBH I don't like thesound of it as a first bname anyway.
