I have a hard surname help me..

[Ekatea]

I have just seen someone wanting to call the child sandy and I love it but my surname is castle .. Is having a child called sandy castle weird?

[nikki1391]

no way

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Well, that escalated quickly

Oh op, don't be so touchy. Sandy Castle is clearly not going to work!

Hello OP, I'm the other 'Sandy' poster... it is a totally gorgeous name for a boy, but even I'm having doubts due to its beach hutness with our surname and the formal name we were thinking of, Lysander, when we ran it past my 7 year old dd, she burst out laughing and said 'Lasagne House?? You are a bloody fool mummy'(yes, her language was addressed, but it was bloody funny)
So having ummed and aaaghed until we're blue in the face, we're chalking it down as a 'sounds a bit funny'
I think Sandy Castle may attract a few raised eyebrows, but Alexander Castle and then Sandy when used informally at home etc (where you won't say it with his surname) is lovely.
Good luck in whatever you chose for your darling baby, I'm struggling so much with a name and the hormones and impulsiveness aren't helping!!

I think Warwick would flow nicely with the surname. Alternatively, I think Balmoral has a lovely ring to it. Go anywhere with a name like that.

First name: Elephant
Middle name: And

Kingofthe?

Even if this was a joke I still find a lot of people on here can be very judgemental and hurtful with some comments! Maybe take other people feelings into consideration (some of you)

What about Leeds.a modern day 'Lisa'

[alita7]

I hope this is a troll. If not then please find another name :p

[squoosh]

Ignore them all OP. I think Sandy Castle is a lovely name, he'll go far in life with such a distinguished moniker.

I appreciated your parapet comment, as I'm sure most other posters did.

[Degustibusnonestdisputandem]

I have both a job and a sense of humour, even though nobody noticed my parapet comment

[Germgirl]

Bowlers. I did a proper out-loud snort at that and now the whole lab knows I'm reading MN rather than decanting wee into little tubes.
Op, if you're really really into the name could you call your child Alexander & just have Sandy as a family nickname.
I mean, I wouldn't saddle the poor little chap with that ridiculous name but if you really wanted to you could do that.

[justmuddlingalong]

I have job, Op. But more importantly I also have a sense of humour and no petted lip.

[fidelineish]

Or even Easter Saturday

[fidelineish]

OP posts freakish name sugestion, OP gets snippy when people suggest name is not good. Moral of the story; we should all go to work on Good Friday. Errr okay.

What a weirdo.

[TrustMeImLying]

I meant Christ, not Chris...

[TrustMeImLying]

Chris you end up with some weird posters on here.

Start a "joke" thread, get offended with answers and then tell people that they are petty and to get a job.... Yawn.

[Ekatea]

This is a joke but shows how petty you all are. Maybe instead of sitting on here slagging people off get a job?

[ShadowFall]

Sandy Castle would definitley be weird.

Unique for all the wrong reasons.

[RalphGnu]

at 'Bouncy'

[mrsbucketxx]

warwick would be funnier or roy

[sonlypuppyfat]

How on earth can someone take the hump when they are the one with the crazy idea!

[Degustibusnonestdisputandem]

Erm, yes it does sound weird, sorry!

[Driveway]

Castle isn't a hard surname in the slightest!
