I can hardly believe that.

What is it? A trend? Some kind of allusion? A family name?

I like it! It sure stands out Grin

SoupDragon · 19/06/2015 08:08

Greville? Um... OK.

SoupDragon · 19/06/2015 08:09

They shoud have called him Quentin so he would have been Q Cumberpatch.

MerryMarigold · 19/06/2015 08:10

Like a cross between Breville and gravel. I prefer Brevel if you must combine them.

How do you pronounce that? Is it like gravel but with an e sound rather than an a, or is it more grey-vile.

Oh that's bad. Sounds like a make of toaster.

If it had been suggested on a baby name board previously it would have been shot down but now Cumber-whateverhisnameis has used it, MN will be all over it!

Soupdragon I said that to my mate when she had her first (she is a Cumberpatch) she didn't think it was such a good idea. She then had twin boys...neither of them are called Quentin either... Sad

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/06/2015 08:27

How utterly selfish, Wuthering! Grin

Re Greville, the only thing Google throws up for me on this is this thread. Where did you hear the news, OP?

AlisonBlunderland · 19/06/2015 08:27

That boy will be a cert to get into Hogwarts

IsItStupid · 19/06/2015 08:35

I don't think it is! Surely not?

Where did you hear this OP?

CaptainAnkles · 19/06/2015 08:48

I really hope that's not true Confused

getbusyliving · 19/06/2015 09:49

do you mean Grenville? We have a second cousin with this name

Germgirl · 19/06/2015 09:58

Soup brilliant :)

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/06/2015 10:45

A friend of mine swears she has come across a lawyer called Hugh Cumber. Why, just why?

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 19/06/2015 10:51

Well we knew they'd give him an outlandish name. I mean they were hardly likely to call him freeeeeekin Bob or Fred were they

Flubbs · 19/06/2015 11:33

It was on the radio last night. Said very seriously but the more I think about it.... I just can't tell.

Whilst googling to find out if this is true, I found this headline

Benedict Cumberbatch shows off his post-baby body, gets back to work after two days off

deadwitchproject · 19/06/2015 12:02

It must be a family name. Surely?

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 19/06/2015 12:05

LOL @ soup

MappingTheMind · 19/06/2015 12:06

Like Grenville Janner???????????

I googled too. Nothing Hmm

It must have been a joke then, I suppose.

Sorry chaps - I was tired and fractious and gullible
