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)

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.

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!!

Well, that escalated quickly Grin

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