Do you like the name Hector?

[fairybeagle]

Just that really, what are your opinions please.

Awful, truly awful. I knew a duck called Hector once, and that’s the most positive thing I can think of to say about it.

If you want to give birth to an overweight, ruddy cheeked middle aged man who sits on the parish council and makes inappropriate jokes, calling your baby Hector is the way to do it.

I love it! So much so that it’s my DS1’s name. I got some negative reactions when I first announced the name but now no one can imagine him as anything else... and he’s an awesome kid

Please don't

No, it makes me think of to hector/ hectoring which isn't a nice thing.

I think of Eric Bana in Troy - mmmmm

The verb 'to hector' is horrible and should put me off, but the only Hector I know is a very cute small boy so it's also endearing.

Love it

No, Hector's house with cat and frog - Kiki

I like it but it reminds me of Hector's house. I'd use it.

Love.

Iliad and Eachann.

I loved Hector’s House.

yes, I rather like it

No - the only Hector I know is a bully and workshy

The meaning of to hector or hectoring would put me off. Also nickname Heck?!

I like it!

I don't mind the name but wonder what the child would be called for short - Hec I suppose.

We loved it, would have been our top choice boy name (had we had another boy!)

@MsTSwift that's intriguing! May I ask what the other boys name is? (They obviously also have my taste in names haha)

@Tana433 no! Should I be? A nice character called Hector?

Not a particularly nice character but played by the gorgeous Rhys Ifans that I may just have a soft spot for!

No

I'd HATE to be called Hector.

I know a small Hector and he’s such a cool kid! He’s endlessly interested in everything around him and is an absolute delight to be around.

So, yes!

woodhill, the cat or course being ZaZa!

Yes!
