Egon...

[Longhairrrdontcare]

I'm buckled up and ready for a flaming as both my other DCs names have evoked a Marmite-ian response on here in the past. But, thoughts on Egon? I like Schiele and DH likes Ghostbusters so could probably be persuaded on that basis. No German etc heritage in the family - does that matter? We're in the U.K.

No, good lord no. Poor kid, don't do it!

Yes I thought of Egon Schiele too and therefore it's a go-for-it from me!

Hard no. Sorry.

Are you fans of expensive restaurants?

I quite like it. Go for it.

@ooerrmissus Haha no we're more Egon Toast than Ronay

My initial reaction was no, but I thought about it and actually the sound of it isn't unpleasant. I know some young children called Ivor and Otto, and it has a similar vibe to those.

Never heard of it and don't like it, sorry. I'm not entirely sure how you pronounce it but it looks to me like "egg on". I like Eben though, which is quite similar.

Not keen. It's a variant of Eugene, which I prefer.

I absolutely love it!!

No no no

DH asked of it was a work in progress or the actual name haha

My first thought was the scene in ghost busters where they fire up the proton pack and go "dooo...raaaay....Egooon"

So it's a no from me

For me it sounds like an expression of surprise along the lines of 'ye gods!' but somehow I still quite like it....!

are you a game of thrones fan? id say unless your sir name is STARK its a no from me.

Egon stark, still ??

I immediately thought of Spengler.

Ronay is what I thought of.

If your last name is Toast

I like it (and like Schiele too).

I knew a Berthold once, and it's far nicer than that.

Schiele paintings are really dark though. Sorry but no.
Also pronunciation is gonna be an issue.

"I collect spores, mould and fungus". Love Egon Spengler and Ghostbusters but sadly I think it would be a no from me.

Agree with stillvicarinatutu. My thought when I first saw it was a misspelled Game of Thrones reference... sorry!
