Yay or nay?

Also, would you spell it with or without the 'e' ?

Is this a name now then? Sounds like a firm of solicitors. Shouldn't it be double 'l' anyway?

Nowthereistwo · 23/03/2016 18:24

Do you mean as in Millhouse from Simpsons?

Why would you call a person after a mill?

Shallishanti · 23/03/2016 18:26

what, Bart's friend?
no
plus was Richard Nixon's middle name - just no!

GoldPlatedBacon · 23/03/2016 18:26

Without the 'e' it would be pronounced Milhoos.

EssentialHummus · 23/03/2016 18:27

Having just watched the Simpsons, no. Don't do it.

DontKillMyVibe · 23/03/2016 18:28

Are you watching Eggheads by any chance? That name has just been mentioned on there Grin

But absolutely not. Bart's mate and sounds ridiculous

Pooka · 23/03/2016 18:28

No. Just no!

Echo the Simpsons connection.

milkbottle · 23/03/2016 18:30

DontKillMyVibe Yep! Just realised it's actually a name and not just a made up one for The Simpsons. Quite like it actually. AIBU to think people will have forgotten The Simpsons by the time DS is old enough to be questioned on his name?

highly unlikely I would think

BikeRunSki · 23/03/2016 18:33

Simpsons
Village not far from here
Spelt wrongly

SqueegyBeckinheim · 23/03/2016 18:34

The Simpsons has been running for over twenty years, it'll probably still be being made by the time your DS is old enough to be questioned about his name.

BikeRunSki · 23/03/2016 18:34

The Simpsons will be repeated for ever.

SecretWitch · 23/03/2016 18:35

Oh My...like Richard Milhouse Nixon? History might forget the Simpsons but the name of a impeached American president lives on forever.

tellmemore1982 · 23/03/2016 18:36

Awful, sorry.

Marginally better but not much is Miller

polkadotsrock · 23/03/2016 18:36

It's not a nice name

SecretWitch · 23/03/2016 18:36

an inpeached...

Snoopadoop · 23/03/2016 18:36

Don't. Just don't. :)

milkbottle · 23/03/2016 18:37

Okay, I get the message. Milhouse is an unwise choice. I will stick to my originally idea - Bart. Just kidding Grin

Any other names anyone can suggest? Similar to Milhouse?

Original, sorry.

I really honestly wouldn't. Too associated with a cartoon character who is pretty much just there to be ridiculed.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 23/03/2016 18:37

He would be called Millie Smile

NadiaWadia · 23/03/2016 18:38

Miles. Milo

NadiaWadia · 23/03/2016 18:39

But not Miller, as that's even dafter than Millhouse. He could be nicknamed 'Windy'.

SecretWitch · 23/03/2016 18:41

I like Miles..

mrsschu · 23/03/2016 19:15

Dreadful. All I can think of is The Simpsons! Miles is fab though!
