I know one he is 18 now.

I really like it.

It’s reminded me of that amazing video of a man running after his dog screaming Fenton and made me chuckle Grin

Never met one but straight away think of the video of the man chasing his dog named Fenton as it goes after a herd of deer. The video went viral so good chance others will think the same.

I only know it as a surname.

Think Fenton surname would sound like a double barreled name not first & second name.

"Fenton! Fenton! Jesus Christ Fenton!"

Also makes me think of Fentanyl.

Justmuddlingalong · 07/06/2019 10:23

Runaway dog here too.

freshstartnewme · 07/06/2019 10:23

I like it

freshstartnewme · 07/06/2019 10:23

I like it

merrygoround51 · 07/06/2019 10:26

Yes dog video for me too Grin

EllebellyBeeblebrox · 07/06/2019 10:27

I like it, but as above "FENTON! FENTON! OH JESUS CHRIST!"

Chartreuser · 07/06/2019 10:27

Every time we drive through Richmond Park and see deer at least two of the five of us start shouting, Fenton, Fenton, Jesus Christ Fenton

For them that's seen the video the name will forever be associated with an out of control dog (and owner!)

I wouldn’t use it because I don’t like how it sounds personally but it’s inoffensive and pretty solid.

Freaking0ut · 07/06/2019 10:30

One of the funniest videos of all time 🤣

Kanga83 · 07/06/2019 10:32

I'm not keen. I automatically thought of Fenton's injury solicitors advert for no win no fee

BeardofZeus · 07/06/2019 10:33

FENTONNNNNNN!!

GCAcademic · 07/06/2019 10:35

Everyone will associate it with that YouTube video. I went to see The Merry Wives of Windsor at the RSC; the play has a character called Fenton, and they incorporated a joke about the video which most of the audience laughed knowingly at.

palahvah · 07/06/2019 10:37

If you want people shouting "Jesus Christ!" at your child and creasing up laughing then go for it.

Disfordarkchocolate · 07/06/2019 10:38

I like it I immediately thought of the dog video.

2019willbebetter · 07/06/2019 10:39

Sorry I'm not keen
Look up a Fenton's repair (vaginal surgery)

bengalcat · 07/06/2019 10:39

Reminds me of the crazy lab in Richmond park called Fenton

Moneybegreen · 07/06/2019 10:39

FFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

SleepingStandingUp · 07/06/2019 10:39

Well I imagine for middle aged American guy moaning over the fence in his jumper at the house he lived in with his mother all his life.

And now Fentanyl.

But its fairly solid, sensiy spelt and no obvious mean nn

Twickerhun · 07/06/2019 10:40

Yes the dog on Richmond Park...

lucymegan · 07/06/2019 10:41

I love the name. I'd never even see the video so wouldn't associate it with the video.
