unique in regard to names usually= risible combination.it smacks of trying too hard
If you think it's so unique,introduce yourself as sandy castle socially,see the reaction
Meet folks and say oh call me sandy,everyone does,watch that repressed snigger at the uniqueness of it

Please don't call your child Sandy Castle.

upsala · 19/04/2014 12:44

Roy is nice.

LynetteScavo · 19/04/2014 13:14

Oh, please, please call your child Sandy Castle.

Castle isn't a hard surname in the slightest!

Degustibusnonestdisputandem · 19/04/2014 15:12

Erm, yes it does sound weird, sorry!

sonlypuppyfat · 19/04/2014 15:12

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

mrsbucketxx · 19/04/2014 15:19

warwick would be funnier or roy

RalphGnu · 19/04/2014 15:22

Grin at 'Bouncy'

ShadowFall · 19/04/2014 15:52

Sandy Castle would definitley be weird.

Unique for all the wrong reasons.

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

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.

TrustMeImLying · 19/04/2014 17:29

I meant Christ, not Chris...

fidelineish · 19/04/2014 17:32

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.

fidelineish · 19/04/2014 17:47

Or even Easter Saturday Grin

justmuddlingalong · 19/04/2014 18:15

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

Germgirl · 19/04/2014 18:51

Bowlers. I did a proper out-loud snort at that Smile 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.

Degustibusnonestdisputandem · 19/04/2014 18:58

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

justmuddlingalong · 19/04/2014 19:09

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

squoosh · 19/04/2014 20:07

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

alita7 · 19/04/2014 20:55

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

ballseditup · 19/04/2014 21:08

What about Leeds.a modern day 'Lisa'
