Hi, recently been looking on a name website, Denmark came up. I thought it was lovely! You could NN him Den/Denny/Mark. We are fans of place names, on our list:

  • Boston
  • Brooklyn
  • Cody
  • Devon
  • Lincoln
Thoughts?

Dennis Mark is almost Denmark. Actually Dennis Mark is a bit Thatcher so.. Denmark lyder godt :-p

"Good morning, I'm Denmark Jones."

Do you know, I'm warming to it.

"Denmark Jones is now approaching Buckingham Palace for his first meeting with the Queen as Prime Minister."

I think I rather like it.

Probably won't work though if your surname isn't Jones.

Millionaire philanthropist Denmark Jones builds orphanage.

Denmark Jones was evicted from the BB house tonight after beating one of his fellow contestants after a heated argument about Brahms.

punkrocker Milton Keynes was actually a person, an economist if I recall correctly.

Greaterthanthesumoftheparts · 01/09/2016 22:39

Or a combination of two people but not such a problem name!

Lessthanaballpark · 01/09/2016 22:46

John Maynard Keynes was a famous economist.

Axel- do you have a connection to Denmark? The name Axel is Danish iirc. If you have no connection to the country then sorry I think it's daft.

Blackberryandapplejam · 01/09/2016 23:30

marginally better than Harlow.

omri · 01/09/2016 23:34

Ironically, I don't think you'd be allowed to name your baby Denmark in Denmark! Grin
They have v strict naming laws

FinnegansCake · 01/09/2016 23:35

hmm, you'd be able to use Den as a nickname.

Personally I prefer something with a South American vibe, like
Nicaragua (nickname Nicar)
Brazil (nickname Bra)

princessdave · 02/09/2016 21:39

There's a blogger in the US that has a Holland, girl I think. So Denmark to me = blogger baby name in Utah...

And also ROFL at Basingstoke as I sit on my sofa in said town reading about baby names Grin

user1472934164 · 03/09/2016 22:25

What about Austin? Or Oakley, Ashton, Aston?

I have to agree that I'm not keen on Denmark but reckon there are some slightly more common place names or similar sounding names that would be less 'out there'
