Genius idea, or too far??

Lovely

MeatPieFloater · 06/11/2013 18:28

It sounds a little "funeral director". But it's different.

Onesleeptillwembley · 06/11/2013 18:43

Too far.

IHeartKingThistle · 06/11/2013 18:45

I like it a lot. BUT I would feel a little uncomfortable with Mort, with the whole, you know, death thing Grin

PrincessFlirtyPants · 06/11/2013 18:46

I like it, not too far IMO.

FrankieStien · 06/11/2013 18:48

I love it! However I am a rabid Terry Pratchett fangirl.

MolotovCocktail · 06/11/2013 18:51

No, not for me, sorry. Don't like it at all.

Branleuse · 06/11/2013 19:03

fabulous

MeatPieFloater · 06/11/2013 19:17

(Waves at Frankie, me too!)

TheTruffleHunter · 06/11/2013 19:19

Never More!

babyfedleaning · 06/11/2013 19:19

Great choice! Morty is fab as a nn

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/11/2013 19:20

I absolutely love it tbh, but probably wouldn't ever have used it myself.

PestoPyrotechnissimos · 06/11/2013 19:22

I like it but it reminds me of

Mortimer the raven

Raddy · 06/11/2013 19:23

I know a cat named Mortimer.

EddieVeddersfoxymop · 06/11/2013 19:23

Reeves and Mortimer. Errr, no, not for me, sorry!

CillaBANG · 06/11/2013 19:24

I love it, bit I'm a Pratchett fan, a Vic 'n' Bob fan, and a goth. If my DD had been a boy she'd have been Mortimer.

Rosencrantz · 06/11/2013 19:28

Awful. The death theme is far too strong for me.

Rhubarbgarden · 06/11/2013 19:36

I like it but it's a bit looong.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 06/11/2013 20:02

Makes me think of a blackbird/raven/crow -not sure why!

Quite like it though Smile

jobwoes · 06/11/2013 20:05

If he will be going to private school, maybe. Can't see it on a cute little baby though. It would be a good name on a certain type of adult (think Tory MP rather than lead singer in an indie band).

Coupon · 06/11/2013 20:27

Too funereal.

WowserBowser · 06/11/2013 20:30

My first thought was 'it's a birds name'! But that's because of MN

CarryOnDancing · 06/11/2013 23:26

It's too far for me but I love Morton?
