Ok, I'm stuck on baby names. No idea what to call our DS and going a bit nuts.

Going to try something alternative...

Who is the coolest person you know and what is their name?

*just for laughs folks Smile

@Processedpea Ray is pretty cool and sounds good with surname. I love Ray Charles also... definitely a nice name!

@Northumberlandlass my ex was called Matt. He's officially known as Matt the Twat/Prat/Rat in my friendship group - otherwise lovely name!

Lenny Kravitz. He's cool.

Or I know a Success, a Leo, an Aslan, a Luca, a Zach and a Rufus who are all pretty cool

@pieceofpurplesky LK is really f-ing cool! Lenny could also be a total cyber nerd who doesn't get out much (male version of me) though...

@Sarahjconnor my family are from the Caribbean and I have a few Rastafarians in my family. I'll have to ask them about this name! My family all have fairly normal names...

Derek. I know it's not a popular name now. But every woman I knew (and he knew) loved him. Most of us also "knew" him in the biblical sense too. But we all remembered him very fondly. His funeral was a hoot. Not only were his "friends" (his term for us) there, but also our mothers. He really was a one off.

@BarryC yep Lenny all the way

My DS's very cool friend is Blake. It's not my sort of name usually but it suits him perfectly.
