Alex. I have an irrational dislike for the name Justin, sorry!

IceNoSlice · 30/01/2013 06:46

Alex

forgottenpassword · 30/01/2013 06:46

Alex definitely.

poweredbytoast · 30/01/2013 06:57

Alex. No contest.

Sasparillo · 30/01/2013 07:02

What do you call a man with a 3 inch willy?? ...Justin! No, sorry. Alex is much better xx

BikeRunSki · 30/01/2013 08:05

Ambivalent about Alex, dislike Justin.

tilder · 30/01/2013 08:11

Agree with sasparillo. I can't get past the just in joke. Puerile I know (have I spelt that right?)
I love the name Alex though.

Thumbwitch · 30/01/2013 08:14

I know a lovely Justin, but only one. Then Timberlake came along and trashed it for me.

I rather love the name Alex.

Alex...just like my gorgeous boy!!

cuggles · 30/01/2013 08:16

A 3 inch willy during sex would be just in!!!

Artigene · 30/01/2013 08:18

Alex but I'd call him Alexander so he has a choice of diminutives when he's older (Alex, Alexi, Sandy, Sacha, Xander).

Thanks cuggles, now it now the joke. Is the 3 inch willy joke very common to Americans?
Thumbwitch, why do you say Timberlake came along and trashed it? What did he do to the name Justin?

Alex, obviously Grin

CarlingBlackMabel · 30/01/2013 08:22

Alex.

What did J Timberlake do? WEll maybe you are a fan, but for the rest of us....

Shodan · 30/01/2013 08:24

Alex.

Alexes are gorgeous and handsome and clever and funny and lovely. Not that I'm biased, or anything Grin

I've never liked Justin and unfortunately the only one I've ever known was my friend's husband until he had an affair so now the name is tainted as well.

GirlOutNumbered · 30/01/2013 08:28

Alex! Do not like Justin at all.

Thumbwitch · 30/01/2013 08:29

I don't like J Timberlake and so the name is tainted for me now. Don't you have those feelings about names of people?

Tobagostreet · 30/01/2013 08:35

Justin reminds me of that guy from cbeebies, so it's Alex for me (disclaimer - I'm bias as I have an Alexander)

(Are you a Wizards of Waverley Place fan? Alex (girl) and Justin (boy) are the siblings in that - watched far too many episodes for my liking!! Grin)

alexpolismum · 30/01/2013 08:36

I like the Welsh version of Justin, which is Iestyn (Yes-tin)

But other than that, I agree with Shodan! Grin

cuggles · 30/01/2013 10:00

Shodan...absolutely! I have the evidence right here on my lap!

ladymia · 30/01/2013 11:29

Alex, really don't like the name Justin

blindworm · 30/01/2013 11:38

If you call him Justin, everyone will always think Bieber straight away. Alex is much nicer.

scaevola · 30/01/2013 11:46

I'd choose Alex.

Neither Timberlake nor Bieber spring to mind (must be my age), but a "just in" little willy definitely does.

chickabilla · 30/01/2013 11:47

Alex!
