Help with name to go with 'unusual' (comedy) surname please!

[ToffeeJungle]

I've posted before about girls names to go with our unhelpful surname Aldock (see -
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/a1912210-Unhelpful-surname-Chloe-or-Freya-or)
but now I need boys name suggestions please!

Again, we've had to rule quite a few we like out, eg. Jacob (Jaco Baldcock) and Aidan (which I just think doesn't sound right - and as I've said in my previous thread, I don't really like alliteration).

We like Isaac but it just wouldn't work - I's a coldcock or I suck old cock??????!!!

Though we think Zac is a possiblility - Does Zac Aldcock sound ok?

Please can you give us some suggestions (boys or girls) - it's driving me a little crazy!!!!! Thank you!

Jared goes very well.

Oh and Joseph is great

Not read the whole thread but Aldcock isn't that bad, I think you just choose a name you like, if someone wants to bully or tease they will do that whatever.

Well I think they will be teased on the surname alone just don't want to add to that by giving them an unsuitable first name!

I do love Joseph but not keen on Joe or Joey - isn't it inevitable it would get shortened?

If you like J names what about

Jago
Joby

Joby is cool.

OP, any chance of a peep at your DH's family tree? Might throw up some good pairings with your surname...

As an aside, DH is adamant he never ever got any stick for his name and can't fathom my concern. What's your DH's thoughts on that??

We are Land. Ruled out:

Scott
Finn / Finley
Grace

Thought we made a safe choice and 4 months later this happened. Did take him there and made sure he got his own branded t-shirt and jumper. Beats labeling everything

I like Joseph in your case?

NoArmarni let's just say it sounds like a verb in the context of the OP's (and my) surnames... in the same way that a name that sounds like 'touch' or 'wiggle' or 'empty' would....

I'm not clever enough for your clue :)
I'm going to assume your husband is called Mr Nocock

Jamie is a good nn for James.

Think Joby Aldcock sounds funny, depending on pronunciation. Is it Johby or jobby?

It can't be Jobby! That's a shit. You can't call a child Shit Oldcock

Good point! Must be pronounced Johby then. Thanks

Don't use a name beginning with M.

M. Aldcock

Mauled cock; sounds painful.

So that's Marcus and all other M names ruled out! As well as names beginning with B, C, F, G, H.. and I think I've dismissed names beginning with vowels so... boys names beginning with D, J, K, L, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z please!!!!

in my time i have known both a dick head and a dick cockmore. dick cockmore was a challenge; he was a consultant that came in to do work for us; i was managing a reasonably large team snd struggled not to giggle whenever i told them dick cockmore was expected that day ok yes i shamelessly giggled like a tween

i must admit if it were a girl i definitely think fanny adcock is super, as is ophelia.

unfortunately i have no sensible suggestions but you have my sympathy as someone that was pleased to lose a dreadful maiden name.

toffee whats your husbands name (sorry just trying toget another cheeky giggle at your expense!)

Well I won't say DH's name though male members of the family include Stephen, Liam, Daniel and Callam - all sound fine with the surname. In fact if there wasn't already a Daniel in the family I'd probably go for that.

Someone asked about middle names too - we definitely want one but it will depend on the first name.

Dexter
And Linus (possibly the best boys name ever!)

BTW It's pronounced Johby (as in Toby)!

This thread has really made me giggle!!
I've known someone with the surname Cocking, which I think is infinitely worse!
I give you
Nathaniel or Theodore??

Dillon?

Or even Dylan! Spelling failure there!

Matthew
Ethan
Philip
Adam
Josiah
David
Tobias (Toby)
Charles
Christopher
Nathan
Elliot
Jonathan

Edward
John

Toffee - Well we have a surname thats also a verb and had huge troubles this time around!

So how about

Leo
Theo
Jasper
Louis
Edward

Love Joseph but bias

I have a James shortened to Jamie and that's all anyone ever calls him. I think it goes very well with your surname.

The worst one I ever worked with was an Asian gynaecologist called Phani Tichler. It was like being in a carry on film.

I think Jamie sounds great with it - also Edward, or Frederick.
