Hector?

[BunnyP]

What do you think?

I love, tried to persuade friends to use it, he was keen she wasn't so.

Ooh, tricky. My first thought was 'body being dragged along by a chariot', swiftly followed by 'nice Scottish name'. So erm... I'm not sure.

Love it and wanted it for DS but DH was having none of it. Even had a last ditch attempt to persuade him whilst in labour (thought he may give in under the circumstances) but nothing doing!

I love it. I am a Classicist, though, so may be biased!

No,it's horrid,and it's also a verb that means to behave like a bully.

Love it, the right balance of familiar yet unusual/uncommon that I really like.

Oh thank you for your comments. It's a name that my husband and I have always adored. The only time I made an error was when I told a table of friends that we were thinking of calling our child 'Hercules'. There was stunned silence until the error was realised!

.....was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand?

I like it as a name. Dunno who sang the song but i know the song.

Great, strong classic name for a boy - he'll always stand out from the crowd with a name like that. When I picked my sons names I tried to imagine how they would grow with the name. What does it mean?

I'm afraid I'm of the generation who just think, "Silly old Hector!" but we're getting quite old now...

Its bloody awful

please don't ,poor child

Lovely name!

Plenty of other names are verbs too - Harry, Nick, Mark, Rose - don't be put off.

Hector is OK as a Trojan hero, but the verb 'to hector' makes it a big NO for me: Dictionary says it is' to intimidate or harass by bluster or personal pressure'.

I LOVE it love love love it but we had 3 dds

I love it always have but dh hates it sadly

Morrissey sang the song - brilliant song!
It's a lovely name, I know one grown up Hector, great guy.

Makes me think of this guy, very funny man.

I tried to persuade DH (because of the song) - but he was having none of it.

I know a little Hector and it is awesome on him. When I first heard the name choice I was a bit like this but now I think it's fantastic and quirky.

Love it - unfortunately father of child would not be swayed.

I like it. :)

Love it.

the film, the thing about lambs..

I love it.
