Jinty - what do you think?

[BuntyPenfold]

The comics thread reminded me of this. DF already vetoed, but I'm right, aren't I? Jinty is cute.

Jinty McGinty's - an irish pub...

Cute for a hamster, yes.

in Glasgow..

Well, on the plus side, he/she can always get a job as a model for Boden.

I know a very eminent Dame Jinty - in her case it's a nickname for Janet, but she uses Jinty in her professional life.

It doesn't even score that highly in scrabble.

I just looked it up - its a girls name. I'd always assumed it to be an Indian boys name.

My DH has a male friend who we all call Jinty. He's British of Indian Origin(his family were expelled from Uganda in 1970s). I'm now assuming Jinty is his nickname, or shortened name for a longer Indian name... I learn something new every day.

I like Jinty as both a girls and boys name.

Reminds me of Jinty McGinty's too. Great pub but full of drunken students so that's the image of a Jinty for me.

No.

Very sloaney IMO.

jinty mcginty's here too.

Truly dreadful.

i met a Trixie this week. similar ilk.

sounds rude somehow...

Prof Nelson, habbibu?
Made me think of her too.
Is short for Janet in general I think...

The very same, puddock!

Stupid and silly and a nickname, and a daft one at that.
Give your child a name to be proud of, not one where they cough and hide behind the nearest person when they have to admit what they are called.

Another for the famous McGinty's. Must be a lot of Glasgow Mumsnetters.

It was also my great great aunt's name. I thinkit was short for something but can't remember what.

Reminds me of that chap 'Jointy' from cash in the attic! ..not that you'd find me watching such crap
