Cuthbert?

Too pretentious?

nn Bertie

I'm assuming the Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb thing is far too old to be remembered by next generation.

It was OH's grandfathers name so its not just random, but I am unconvinced at present, any thoughts?

My dh suggested this as a joke and was a bit Hmm when I said I liked it! Blush

I think this takes ironic old man/lady names to it's last possible and awful conclusion.

No - not fair to a child.

Don't like Cuthbert, but Humphrey is quite cool....

No,no,no,no and no! It's beyond awful.It has to be one of the least attractive names ever. I hate Bertie too,but even that on the BC would be better than Cuthbert.

Zombie thread again. Who keeps digging up these old threads? What is the bloody point!?

sparkle12mar08 · 18/07/2012 10:49

Can I keep banging the drum for Cully as a nn for Cuthbert? It's not all that bad at all imo.

As for Zombie threads, well at least it saves starting new threads and one can gather new opinions developed since the thread started?

Mmm, don't like it at all, reminds me of the soft kid in The Beano

Kaekae · 18/07/2012 13:35

Emmm....No. Makes me cringe.

Horrible, definitely not! With all due respect for your DH's grandfather, Cuthbert is definitely a name that was of its time, and has not transferred smoothly through the generations...
