Yes

FurCoatAndNaeKnickers · 19/04/2014 11:23

I wouldn't do it.

pictish · 19/04/2014 11:23

It's a no from me.

pictish · 19/04/2014 11:24

As in no - don't call your child Sandy Castle.
Unless you live in Balamory.

Bowlersarm · 19/04/2014 11:25

......the yes from me is that "yes it would be weird to call your child Sandy Castle"...

So, no, don't do it!

Ekatea · 19/04/2014 11:25

I thought it was a bit weird but really unique

I prefer Windsor. Smile

No need too be sarcastic! If you have nothing nice too say keep it to yourself

You can't tell people what they can and can't reply to your question!

Ekatea · 19/04/2014 11:43

No not too be sarcastic though is there! You all need to grow up.

There is nothing nice to say about it though.

No way- that's a bad combination.

TheNewSofa · 19/04/2014 11:47

The child will have the piss taken out of them all through their school years

missmargot · 19/04/2014 11:50

It would be unique but not in a good way, I'm sorry.

TravellingToad · 19/04/2014 11:50

Oh come on, you're the one talking about calling a child sandy castle :) lighten up!

pictish · 19/04/2014 11:56

Is it bad that this thread is cracking me up? Grin

clary · 19/04/2014 11:59

This is a joke yes?

Lots of regular names are fine with the surname Castle OP. I teach a James Castle. Fine and dandy.

CatsAreLikeChocolates · 19/04/2014 12:02

Can't believe you are getting huffy about people sniggering already. Please don't set yourself (and the new baby) up for a whole lifetime of this sort of thing.

ChasedByBees · 19/04/2014 12:03

Ha ha! No.

pictish · 19/04/2014 12:04

OP don't take it personally.
I came up with some fairly barmy name ideas when I was pg. I swear that one day you will remember Sandy Castle and laugh at your temporary madness. Grin

JenBehavingBadly · 19/04/2014 12:10

And Op, I don't appreciate the abusive private messages you've just sent me. It's not your post it's the post you started. My opinion is as valid as anyone else's. If you've got something to say, say it publicly, I can take it. unlike some, obviously. Happy Easter Easter Smile

fidelineish · 19/04/2014 12:21

Can't believe you'd post this bizarre question (of course naming a child Sandy Castle is weird, in fact it is cruel) and then have no sense of humour about the 'Windsor' suggestion.
