Terry or Alan talk to me?

[anitagreen]

Love these boy names so much but no one else does I know they are dated but come on Alan's a lovely name is it not?

Not keen on Alan, but love Terence. Bot do keen on Terry.

I think they names are nice looking and sounding names, it's just a shame they're associated with much older people. I know a younger Terry so it doesn't seem too old to me! Go for it!

I love old names too, I would go for Terry. I love it

No OP

Alan! I know a young (12 year old) Alan and it's a good name! It'll make a come back.

Terry not so much

I think Alan sounds really nice if you forget its image! And Al would be a nice shortened version.

Not so keen on Terry / Terence personally.

I love Terry, I know a teen of that name, a couple of people in their 30s as well as some in their 60s.
Alan not so much, really can’t imagine a baby Alan though I did meet a baby Brian recently which, imo, is far worse!

I like them both

How about Paul, John, Barry, Gary, Dennis?

Smile
Don't forget Neil, Ian, Trev, Adrian and Jeff!
(I'm actually married to one of those but I'm sure he'll forgive me...)

Alan Partridge. Ah haaaaa!

Jesus Christ no.

My dad’s called Terry (Terence) and while he’s one of the greatest people in the universe I’d never saddle a child with that as a name!

Alan. My dad was an Alan named after Alan Ladd who my nan was on.

And I’m guessing you mean Terry Tibbs “talk to me!”

I quite like Terrence but only in its entirety. I can't stand Terry.

My dad's name is Alan and I love him dearly, I would totally choose that as a name!

I’ve taught two Alans under the age of 11 recently. Both seemed like “little old men”, struggled to fit in and join in play with their peers and I wondered if they were living up to their name. Quite a few members of staff said out loud “who looks at a baby and thinks ALAN these days?” and felt quite sorry that they’d been landed with such an old fashioned name.

Terry is better but still very dated.

Aled?

I think it’s a lovely name but it’s lovely on older people, sorry. My age, basically.

Hi I'm new to this whole forum so I'm just gonna pray I dont fluff it and delete everything I type or something.

I have an uncle called Terry and Alan... sounds like an old man?
Reggie is a cute name?

No sorry.... we are not ready for Alan and terry yet!!

Threewheeler1 I don’t understand why you left Nigel out??

To be honest OP they’re not to my taste but I’d rather an Alan or a Terry to a Kai or a Jayden.

The only Alan I’ve ever known was a lovely man.

My Dad is called Terrance (Terry) and he despises his name.
