It's Greville Cumberbatch !!!

[Flubbs]

I can hardly believe that.

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

No that can't be right. It's awful with the surname and more importantly all that's going on in the news with Greville Janner at the moment makes it just a really unlikely choice surely? It's a very unusual name and that's the only famous Greville I think I've ever heard of so not a great association

It was a joke.

Timothy and Charles are still the two most likely names, but Benedict's agent said there won't be an official announcement yet. I think they are the names of their grandfathers, so that's quite a nice gesture.

Who is Greville Janner? I don't want to google something else unpleasant.

He is a Labour Peer (house of lords) and before that was an MP for years, a raft of child abuse allegations against him, it looks like he's not going to be prosecuted though as he has dementia.

Oh HIM

So if someone told you that as a joke it's in extremely poor taste

It was local radio Whirl - maybe it was subconscious? Or maybe they said Grenville and I misheard. It was silly o/c after all.

I know a Greville - he's an attractive, rather high-powered, admittedly grumpy Londoner in his late 40s. What's so weird about it as a name?

Even though it looks like the name wasn't the real one after all, I wish even more now that I was a rich famous 'sleb. You can name your child anything. No worries about bullying in the playground or the High Court Judge test!

I had a great uncle Greville, nn Grev. I wouldn't choose it myself but I don't see anything so wrong with it.

Greville sounds like the name of a sinister butler.

I thought it sounded like a Just William character.

One of my closest friends is called Greville! Rhymes with devil.

Must say, I never thought it was that weird.

Or Greville Wynn - the business man who was a spy, and was swapped for some other Russian/East German spy.

I love Q Cumberpatch. Still giggling.

Well, if Greville is not true, there's still hope for little Quentin :)

Gosh, I hope it isn't Greville, I would think he would get teased to no end from school mates.
Sounds too much like " grovel". And throw in Cumberbatch, and they could really go to town!
