[EmmyInTheSticks]

Hadrian - yes, no, indifferent? What do you think? Thanks

If you are Offa your ur nickname will be dyke...

I like it more than Adrian

Hmm, not sure. Hadyn?

Wall

Enough said

Nope. Hadyn, yes.

Oh for goodness sake.

Some people have just got no imagination at all. Can you not think yourself for a minute into the life of someone called Hadrian?

Trivia of the day: The Prime Minister of Canada's son is called Hadrian.

Hideous

I like it.

However, I wouldn't use it. Because the child would forever be called Adrian

I don't understand why children have to be given ridiculous names.

I live near Hadrian's Wall so any Hadrian round here would be mocked like anything. Hadrian is a wall.

What about Hannibal? Makes me think of elephants (not Lecter) and I do like elephants.

No
No

And again
No

I know a Hadrian who is in his teens.
He doesnt get mocked.
I like the name.

Thanks for the replies. Overall I'd safely say it's a no.

I did hear it first when Trudeau brought his son over to Ireland recently and I thought that's nice. It doesn't work so well on this side of the Atlantic I guess because of Hadrian's Wall.

Hamish? I like that!

Only if your surname is Walls!

I knew a boy at school called Wally. Everyone called him Wally. It was only when we were graduating I realised his name was Hadrian. Wall-y.

Terrible.

I was at school with a bully called Wally. Be was actually called Walter. In Glasgow, so the two may be related.

It would be a pretty great name for a builder.
