Hector?

[BunnyP]

What do you think?

We were so very close to naming our first child Hector and are still considering it in the long list for our second. However my Mother hated it and said "Hector, Hector the Tax Inspector" to me everytime I saw her and other friends sang the Morrissey song about being "the first in the gang"..thought as we are in gritty South East London that it might have been a bad omen....
I do love it though.

Love it.

Love the name - its on our shortlist & it means 'steadfast' :)

Love it, wanted it for DS. -D- H hated it.

Got rid of the husband, should have insisted on the name I wanted

Love it - first choice of name for dc3.

I know a (not so little anymore) Hector Lancelot - I suspect he'll have the personality to pull it off, but it's a risk.

His mother is a Classicist.

DH wanted Hector. He's Scottish and it's such a strong name. It just didn't go with our surname sadly.

Love it.

The fantastically brilliant Fi Glover has a ds called Hector

It DOES remind me of the Morrissey song, but I still kinda like it!
