My surname is Gallagher...

[TheComforter]

I can't use Joel, can I?

I vote no, sorry!

I don't think you can, although my mum has a friend with children called Tom & Grace and their surname is Jones!

No you cannot.

Imagine being called Gary Potter or Saul McCartney.

I know, I know. I just think Joel is so cool.

Boo hiss.

My other fave is Clement.

Imagine being called Gary Potter or Saul McCartney.

This is a fun game.

I like Clement!

Harry Barlow

Rita Andre

I agree Louise.

Joel is a cool name. Noel, is what, 50? No one Joel's age will have a scooby who some old niche, second fiddle to his brother, musician with similar name is.

I thought you would suggest Frank.

I think you can. I didn't get the Noel connection (and I am definitely of the Oasis generation) and was pondering why not. I assumed there must have been a Joel in Frank Gallagher's crowd in Shameless!

Noel Gallagher may not mean anything to the kid's friends but you don't go through life just interacting with people who are the same age as you.

Joel Gallagher is a comedy name.

tigger I thought that too

No I wouldn't.

No, you must use Rory

Oasis have that air about them of a band who will be on the cover of Mojo magazine in 2072. I'd be thrilled if I never had to hear another busker wail Wonder-feckin-wall at me but I won't hold my breath!

Civilizations will rise and fall but two things we can rely on will be a cockroaches, and buskers singing Wonderwall.

I would...

What about Jude? Or Rex? Just other names similar (imo) to Joel.

Beryl Fernandez-Versini

I don't think I could. Not a fan of Clement either, sorry.

What about Jonah, Lucas, Marcus, Miles, Keir, Gregory, Finn, Finlay, Crispin?
