Opinions on Gideon?

[JAZA]

I wanted something unusual, but still 'normal' - so I had decided on Gideon, but now I'm not so sure... Depending on the feedback, it will be the middle name! I would still like it as the first name though... Thank you :)

There's nothing wrong with it, so if you like it then use it. Personally I don't like the "giddy" sound to it though.

this is what I think of when I hear Gideon...

He's a gorgeous baby OP. Congratulations.

But nothing that lovely deserves a name like Gideon.

What about Grayson if you like names ending in "on"?

I'm not keen, but I do have a little crush on a Voice actor called Gideon Emery so I cant really dislike it that much.

A few names ending in "on"...

Simon
Aaron
Edison
Harrison
Leon

Or Cameron, Gordon or Winston on the political theme!

Gideon Osbourne. A big no no. It also means destroyer

No wonder he changed it.

Although it does fit though, doesnt it, Ghost?

I don't mind Gideon. I think your little boy looks like an Aaron.

Gideon is a fabulous name. I can't believe what a hard time you're getting on here. Go for it - it's great. And congratulations on your gorgeous son.

I am a foreigner and I'm afraid I chuckled when I have heard this name for the first time in my life. Then I apologised and my friend said something like "it's OK, I generally avoid to mention my husband's name because people react like that".

I said earlier that Gideon isn't my cup of tea but I've heard worse!
I really like Edison that was mentioned earlier. Not a bible name but an important one none the less.

Am I seriously the only one old enough here that immediately thinks of Gideon the duck???

I like it.

If the Tories stay in power (likely) and Osborne wins the leadership election then he'll be the next PM, just as your child starts school.

I'm not a huge fan of Gideon as a first name but really quite like the flow of Noah Gideon. But what about Noah Samson as another option? Gorgeous baby, by the way....

Just seen the pic. He is utterly beautiful. Gideon is a zillion times better than Elton.

He's beautiful! Gideon is hideous (sorry) Noah is lovely

Absolutely gorgeous boy! Congrats!

Think you should be aware that Gideon is the name of the main character in one of the more well-known Fifty Shades of Shit knockoffs. If my SiL is to be believed, this is what everyone will think of.

If you're only using it as a mn I wouldn't stress too much, though.

Who's Gideon the duck, rainbow?

I know a Gideon who is lovely, but I do think George Osborne has ruined it (just a drop in the ocean of things he's ruined...)

Another one who came on to say Osbourne. Who is a cunt.
