Pretty sure I had a thread on this when pg with DC1 (who turned out to be DD1)!

DH and I still love this name and it is on the short list for DS1. But I seem to remember a lukewarm reception last time due to a cartoon character which I hadn't heard of Hmm

Just thought I'd run it past you again!

Thanks Uptheduff!

I'm going to go with when children are old enough to care about such things, they'll have outgrown Elmer the Elephant anyway.

Patchwork elephant

But that isn't a bad thing.

It's a name that should stay in the 19th century.

I think of two things- a colourful patchwork elephant and Elmer Fudd.
