Tudor for a boy

[nsldriver]

I love it but dh hates it. What do you think ?

Nah

I don’t want to be mean but it’s a ridiculous name please don’t call your poor baby Tudor

Awful sorry
What about Torben?

He'll be bullied when he learns about Tudors at school

Not keen I’m afraid, I think it sounds a little pretentious. Sorry

Henry?

I like it, but my DH, didn’t like it either!

It's ok. Not unheard of in Wales. The welsh form, Tudur (TIDD-irr), is slightly more popular with the welsh.

Love it.

Yes, Tudur is fairly common in Wales, so it sounds like a normal name to me.

Thank your DH, he's right.

I think it was a first name to begin with. Wasn't he Owen ap Tudor or something? Grandad of Henry (I think).

But if you're in England, I probably wouldn't as the Tudors aren't the nicest figures in British history. And very few people in England will think anything but "Henry" when they hear it.

Owain ap Maredudd ap Tudur. Owen Tudor is the anglicised version I think.

I've got an uncle Tudor - I've always loved the name.

Sorry, so I think that means son of. Son of Maredudd, son of Tudur. That wasn't very clear.

I'll stop rambling now and await any corrections .

I think it’s a lovely name (but then I would be biased) it’s fairly common in easter europe.

It's not to my taste but a perfectly normal name here in Wales :)

Bully magnet.

Ridiculous name.

We don't live far from wales so maybe we can get away with it.

ap does mean son of.
Many welsh surnames start with B or P indicating 'son of'.
Examples include Parry, Pugh, Bowen and Bevan.
Tudor is also a welsh surname, as is Lloyd.

Parry is from ap Harri, Pugh from ap Huw...

Two of my children were taught by a Tudor Welshsurname. If you are in Wales or have a Welsh surname probably fine. Otherwise maybe not.

Love it.

No please don’t poor child. Toren?
