Expecting DS5 in a few weeks. Thought name was chosen and sorted but just recently i've 'noticed' the name Gideon. Firstly on the closing credits of a tv programme i was watching and then today in a newspaper article. It's caught my attention and im really starting to like it. What are the thoughts? Should mention that i like quirky and different names too, without them being too weird or 'made-up' IYKWIM.

I agree drtachyon, Im 100% certain that no one who i know would ever think that either!! And im also convinced that no one i know even knows his real name is Gideon...im shocked that some people think of him as that at all, before George?! TBH, some of my friends prob couldnt even tell you who the chancellor even is! If I do choose it as DS's name and someone was to mention the GO connection, in an 'ooh, you must right like him!' kind of way, personally i would view them in a rather bemused fashion!! Smile Thanks pipjoy maybe its my destiny to reclaim the name Gideon back for the people!!
