So continuing in the American vein, what about Chord - as in Chord Overstreet (plays Sam, the blonde, on Glee).

No. Dear god no. You may as well call him Ladylips. I can't get over the look of that guy.

RobynLou · 03/05/2011 22:57

really don't like that one, and I can usually find something to like about most names, but not this time!

It sounds like it would be on Sarah Palin's list. Short, punchy, random.

MelinaM · 04/05/2011 10:42

Nooooo, bizarre doesn't quite cover Chord I'm afraid!

MrsKwazii · 04/05/2011 10:46

Makes me think umbilical (I know that's cord, but people will think it), or cordouroy trews.

MamaLazarou · 04/05/2011 12:11

no, really weird and doesn't look nice on the page. It's just a random word.

Emelene · 04/05/2011 16:35

Personally I really dislike it. When I saw Sam's real name was Chord I was like Confused!

ShowOfHands · 04/05/2011 16:39

For a girl you may use Cordelia and shorten to Cordy. Otherwise, absolutely not.

And yes you can call a child Lace or Velvet or Silk if her surname's Lavender and she's headed for a career in adult entertainment.

Its certainly unusual. I'm wondering how his parents came up with it. It can't just be a stage name.

In the same way that Ben Dover is a bit porn?

Pinkjenny · 04/05/2011 16:42

Oh noooo. I always think his name is a bit ridiculous. I like Quinn though

Oh yeah i quite like Quinn too. I wasn't sure at first but it has grown on me.

ShowOfHands · 04/05/2011 16:51

No no no no no no. Too close to quim for comfort.

Eglu · 04/05/2011 16:51

I quite like Velvet for a girl. I love Quinn too, tried to convince DH that our DD due in July could be that, but he's having none of it.

Chord is wierd though.
