Ok gloves off.....Finch......what do u think?

[DottieRose]

This is one that has been on the bottom of the list for some time but want to give it some thought before striking it off.....it's for a boy!

would his middle name be green or bull?

I am biased Madame. Now, that's a good sentence.

I love the name Tuffet. It has a mellifluous ring to it.

Sure someone will have said it but I think Finchmeister, American Pie, aka shitbrick.

So personally I wouldn't go for it.

Tuffet Finch III.

That name would take you anywhere LineRunner.

I imagine Tuffet Finch III having Sarah Palin as a running mate, and regretting it at the last minute when she tragically confuses Iran with Israel.

But then she confused Bristol and Track with actual baby names.

Maryz, you have just nudged a distant memory with your mention of Jalna. I used to love reading those books as a young teenager. IIRC, the books had a pinkish cover?

Sorry op, don't want to hijack your thread! I quite like the name but it does sound like its a shortened version of something so poor boy will probably spend his life explaining its not iyswim?

Yes op, if you could just change your surname to Du Bois.....

I think of American Pie. And then I think of Shitbreak (Finch's nickname courtesy of the gruesome Stifler).

Don't like it, sorry.

This is where the last name really comes into play.

It's awful.It sounds like a hard drinking 70s tv detective.

Ah I love those names

Starsky
Hutch
Bodie
Doyle
Cagney
Lacey
Shoestring
Bergerac
Kojak
Columbo
Van der Valk

Maybe not Van der Valk for a baby, though

i'm with mathanxiety. love the literary connection and the old-money usa feel. veh cool.

Shitbreak.
Don't do it.

Makes me think of the hogwarts caretaker. Filch is it? Or Felch?

AHA! That's what I was thinking with the Addams family butler thing. Kind of vaguely the same-ish, no? I am not quite going completely mad. Thanks ThatllDoPig

American pie.

Shitbreak

Maryz I loved the Jalna books and remember Finch as a sensitive sweet boy? Renny and Piers were insufferably macho,Eden was rather camp, and the youngest was a spoilt brat (Wakefield?), all unusual names!!

sensitive, schmensitive, bah. He was a wimp

Suppose he was,a bit. Sad life though. Awful son,Dennis,by the mad violinist....

I might be getting picky but it could be mis-pronounced. I would say fin-sch but some accents could be more fin-CH (with a harder ch sound). I cant explain it well but may be you KWIM. I quite like it but would definitely depend on the surname (sounds awful with mine but thats not the point).

I do not get all this sir name stuff - Some of the more popular names are sir names (Oliver & Jack for example)

Finch - kinda like it tho prefer Fletcher. How about Reed? my new Favourite name

Dont be silly.
