Moretonhamstead

[bumblebee61]

Can anyone tell me what moretonhamstead is like? I have seen a great house there but don't know the area. Is it friendly? Good transport links, groups and things to join? Thanks.

Oh thank goodness, I thought you were going for the longest baby name ever

Sorry, I don't know Devon

Came on because you've posted this in baby names and I thought you were considering it for your child!

Came rushing on to slap you into reality!

Moretonhamstead May is nice for a girl

I don't normally come on the baby name thread but was so intrigued by this potential baby name that I had to have a look

For a boy or a girl, OP?

I see it as more of a masculine name.

Wowser nails it

It needs hyphenating and May updating.

Moretonhamstead-Mai
Or
Moretonhamstead-Mae.

Insist on using the full name, no nicknames.

Having holidayed near there last year, my comment on transport links is that the A road to Bovey Tracey is a nightmare. Lots of long single track sections with no passing places, made even more fun by farm vehicles doing strange things.

Lovely part of the world though.

As a name, it'd be for a boy, and better as first and middle. Moreton Hampstead. Please note conventional spelling has a 'p', if you omit that the poor child will forever be having to correct people.

You don't think Basingstoke has a better ring to it?

With Biggleswade for a future sibling.

(I don't know Devon either, sorry, but I hope it all works out well for you.)

Bovey Tracey has a nice ring to it. Although a bit 80s.

Well, I know to sisters with middle names Pleasant Grove and Bountiful.

So... Uhm. Anyhow. I am rather relieved that this isn't a thread about a baby name. Poor boy (it does sound a bit masculine, doesn't it?)

Kirkby Lonsdale for a boy or Ryme Intrinseca for a girl.

I thought you were obsessed with the lead singer of Aha but didn't want to copy his name comptely for your baby son.

I quite like Piddle Hinton myself, seems reasonably apt for a baby boy perhaps?
Worth Matravers has a certain ring to it for a girl.

You lot are wonderful!

Thanks for the much-needed laugh.

How about Westward Ho! ?

How about Westward Ho!

Not for a girl!
