Russell

[SoEmbarassed]

Like it / not like it?

weirdly i like it for a girl but maybe that's just wrong!

Not keen, I'm afraid..

Sorry, not keen.

I don't like it either sorry

nothing to do with the fact that I have a ex called that. He was a t*

It's my grandad's name and I sometimes wish I had given it to DS as a middle name. I have come across a few Russells of all ages and it does seem to be quite timeless.

Don't like it.

Aww my DH is called Russell! I like Russ which is what he usually gets. Russell has never seemed to be a popular name but isn't probably a name I'd have a strong opinion about if it wasn't for DH

I really like it, I like the NN Rusty but can't use it as our surname is an object that could get kind of rusty.

Afraid I don't like it. Doesn't help that I think of Russell Rabbit food when I hear it...

I'm going to go against the grain and say that I actually like Russell :)

Not sure why. It makes me think of nature - leaves rustling and the French word 'ruisselle' which would refer to a stream trickling :)

And it's one of those classic names that has always been around, but never trendy and overused!

Horrible

I think it's great. Unusual, but not strange.

Noooo (though I do have a soft spot for Russells Watson and Crowe!)

I like it. The Russells I know tend to be clever and stylish. Apart from Russ Abbot of course

Fraid not - knew a very weird man called Russell, and my sister has two exes of that name.

Don't like it at all. Sorry.

No not good in my opinion, has the same vibe as Nigel.

Dated but not in a retro way. I lump it in with Trevor, Gary and Gavin.

Maybe not trendy or fashionable currently but still a classic timeless name. More interesting than many currently trendy names IMO.

Hmm be neither. Russel crackle swish is what came to mind from one of ds's books.

Sorry missed out an L
