If you're expecting a German Shepherd, yes. If you're hoping for a normal person baby, then no!

If you ever shout your child's name in the park, a dog with a stick in its mouth will run up to you instead.

You will have to live with a lifetime of eye rolling and tutting from others.

Well, I think it's great. Very old gent. But then I like Earl too, and would use Wyatt for a boy (family name -I love it) -which are both mocked on this thread, I see!

Everyone told me DD's name was a cow's name. Now people associate it with a lovely gorgeous toddler I think they are won over and I don't give a shit if they're not 'cause they're clearly only happy with the same old cutsie top 100 names

How about Luke? Please don't use Duke!!!

Makes me think of Marlene from Only Fools and Horses.

In fact I caught a bit of that spin-off the other day and as I sprinted for the remote control it seems that their new Great Dane is indeed called Earl.
