Today I met a 3 year old called....

[DefiniteMaybe]

Alan.
Bet he'll be the only Alan in his class.

Oh no not Colin. That's one that doesn't need a comeback!
Dd's middle name would have been Brian after my grandad had she been a ds.

my DH is an Allan. i always call him Al. i see no problem with alan.

i thought you were going to say it was something really outlandish!

Have just remembered, I teach a 14 year old Raymond. He certainly stands out amongst the Jordans, Brandons and Jacks.

Frank is my favourite boy's name.... But I don't think that's quite in the Alan league. But I know a 20 year old Alan. He is actually very cool and alternative (I used to babysit him!)...
