DP actually suggested...

[peachyyy]

STUART!

Can you imagine? He didn't speak to me for a few hours after I burst out laughing in his face and asked, incredulously: "what man, in this day in age, would call their son Stuart?"

No strangely she calls him Gary not Gararaey as I am assuming Garry would be pronounced . I quite like Stuart though my dd's godfather is called Stuart and he's lovely so the name reminds me of him....and a bit of mice (Stuart little)

Gary and Garry are both pronounced the same, to rhyme with Harry.

I'd have thought that the Gary spelling might be the one to cause confusion, as it might be expected to rhyme with Mary

I don't really understand what's wrong with Stuart.

Stuart Hall?

Larry is

My son, who's 6, has a school friend called Alan. He's very sweet. He's just had a baby brother called.... Alphonse! The names actually really seem to suit them.

I know siblings called Alan, Colin and Keith. They are 12, 8 and 5.

It's not weird now because I've known them as they've grown up, but there were a few raised eyebrows when they were all born!

Stuart is much better than a lot of the names mentioned on this forum.
How about Jeffrey?

I like Jeff but not Geoff. Funny, isn't it.

Yes me too - I think Jeff is a cooler version of the pop-popular 'Jett' at the moment!

So we shouldnt call children Stuart because of 1 horrible man with that name? Seriously?

So I guess no more Peter, Ian, Fred, Robert, Jon, James... If you decide to give your child a name that is not shared with anyone who has ever been convicted of sexual assault then you're not leaving yourself with much.

I met a tiny little Colin in hospital yesterday...

When pg with DD, the bump was named Keith - mainly to stop people asking what we were going to call her. We just said "Keith" to shut them up ;)

I love Trevor as a guilty pleasure name!!

My gorgeous one year old nephew is called Stuart. It suits him perfectly.

So the answer to your (frankly rather rude) question is - my brother. He is the sort of man who calls his son Stuart.

My DP suggested Stewart too. He wanted his son to be named after the drummer out of Police apparently. I vetoed it, but it's actually grown on me, but DP has now gone off it because it sounds like an air steward.

It's a good name!surely due to make a comeback

My cousin's just had a Malcolm...

Can't see what is wrong with it (unless your surname is Stewart). Better than most of the affected and, frankly, ridiculous forenames that appear here.

My dh seriously suggested Brian and Clive on his list for ds1...

Tell him he can have 'Stuart'.

The very minute you buy a mouse

I quite like Stuart, actually. DP vetoed and it turned out to be a girl anyway. Good thing too, because for quite a while her head looked like Stewie Griffin's from above.

Hmm. It's like Howard.

Cute baby Howard.

I know two brothers 5 and 3, Frank and Harry .....

Nigel?

Keith is the ultimate non-baby name. Who could look down at a little baby and think, "ooh yes, Keith!"

Barry is another one.

I work in a maternity hospital and love hearing all the names, we've had a Dennis, Arthur , Ernest, Zander, Reggie, Mary, in the last week

I LOVE Mary, it's beautiful.
