My husband and I are both keen on Reacher for our boy but don't know if I'm brave enough! So what do people think?

No.

It didn't make me think of being sick but it is awful anyway. The elf in HP is Kreacher, not Treacher btw.

Reacher Gilt is hardly a pleasant character. Why not go the whole hog and call him Moist though? Or take your pick from Claude Maximilian Overton Transpire Dibbler. I'm a geek. Sue me!

If he arrives wearing an eye-patch and parrot they go for it. Grin

Only if his brothers were called Stretcher and Pusher. And little sister Grabber of course.

Seriously, I would laugh my bum off at the people who called their kid Reacher. In the polite privacy of my own home of course.

DON'T DO IT!

Sorry, it's a pukey name. And anywhere in the UK where it doesn't suggest vomiting, he'll be called creechur instead.

Katydive The house elf you are referring to is called Kreacher.

cocoachannel · 20/01/2013 15:32

My first thought was Kreacher.

And what's wrong with Claude?

YouOldSlag · 20/01/2013 15:38

Dreadful. Everybody will feel sorry for him.

Katydive · 20/01/2013 17:12

Oh, Kreacher, that's it, sorry!! Still reminded me of that in the first instance, and although Retching is the correct term for being sick, I also remember it being known as 'Reaching' !

Please dont call your son Reacher. It is a terrible name and kids at school WILL call him Reacher Round...

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 20/01/2013 22:16

YES, everyone would call him Reacharound! Oh poor you, it was an unusual, different sort of name idea, but I wouldn't... Smile

bridgetsmum · 20/01/2013 22:21

No no no, please do not call your child Reacher! Life is hard enough as it is

PickledInAPearTree · 20/01/2013 22:21

Ooooooooh no.
