It's the dog video for me too.

Feltham (young offenders institute)
Fentanyl (opioid)

I've not seen the dog video.

Thank you everyone! I did also think of the brilliant dog video but thought it might just be me! I like the name but I think I will save it for our next dog perhaps. I will show this to my OH who will hopefully now believe my concerns. Great responses from everyone - thank you! Back to the drawing board!!!!

Only came on the thread as I knew someone would post that video.Grin

Hairyheadphones · 07/06/2019 11:54

The title of the thread made me smile because I immediately thought of the dog.

Also came to watch the video. Fenton forever more will be a running lab accompanied by Jesus Christ.

I hadn't heard of that doggy video, so the name doesn't have that connection for me. I know a boy called Fenton and he's a lovely little chap. His siblings all have names from Shakespeare. Not everyone wants a name from the top ten list after all.

FindaPenny · 07/06/2019 11:58

It sounds a little bit like the name of a prison, probably because it puts me in mind of Feltham young offenders institute.

NaomiSophia · 07/06/2019 12:04

I honestly love the name. My first choice is harrison i think, but there are just so may options

It's a rough area of Stoke-on-Trent.

julensaor · 07/06/2019 12:08

yes Fenton is now officially a dog's name

ThePhoenixRises · 07/06/2019 12:11

I like the name and incase anyone is wondering Fenton update here

MooBaaLaLaLa · 07/06/2019 12:16

I like it, there's a character called Fenton on the radio show, Two Doors Down (Not the same as the tv show with the same name) and I've always thought it was lovely.

MMama18 · 07/06/2019 12:22

My only association is the repair surgery I had to have of my episiotomy, it’s called a Fenton’s procedure

RuthW · 07/06/2019 12:38

Fenton's procedure is a female operation. That puts-me off. Sorry.

Ninkaninus · 07/06/2019 12:40

Yes I immediately thought of that video.

PrincessScarlett · 07/06/2019 12:43

Fenton the dog!!

I would def opt for naming your next dog rather than your next child OP Wink

Quintella · 07/06/2019 13:06

Immediate thought for me too is 'FOR GOD'S SAKE. FEENNNNNTOOOOOONNNNNNN'.

fluffiphlox · 07/06/2019 13:09

Also there was a pub called The Fenton in Leeds. At least there’s was decades ago when I went to university there.
