too weird..??

[ottermadness]

Sterling (for a boy). I'm thinking like moss... help!

I've heard a lot worse. It's not weird.

It was Stirling Moss, not Sterling, btw. That's a better spelling, a town rather than a currency or adjective.

Yea it’s fine I know a couple of Stirlings

Fine if spelled Stirling.

Stirling is OK. Sterling might have people assuming you’re keen on the pound sterling, that being one of its more common uses.

It's 'okay' if you spell it correctly.
If you're planning on spelling it like that, it's horrendous.

Sterling Archer!

If you voted Remain, there's a welsh name that you might want to use. Euros.

It is Stirling Moss. Sterling is a surname.
It's not too weird.

Noted, must try harder on spelling :-) thank you, lol.
Starting again.. Stirling (obvs) like Moss, too weird?? other contender is Isaac but OH and I cant seem to agree on one single boys name.

I like Isaac

Stirling is ok

I like Stirling, fine name.

Like Stirling

Isaac sounds like I Suck around here

Isaac is much better. I don’t care for placenames as names.

Stirling is a fine name. Weirdly and on a tangent, earlier I was thinking how Starling would make quite a cool name (I was looking at a bird poster at the time) you can have Robin and Wren after all (but not Blue tit though obvs)

Makes me think of ‘sterling’ as in excellent or valuable like ‘sterling effort’. So I’m not a fan because if your surname is eg Jones then it’s ‘excellent Jones’. But that’s just my read - it’s not hideous so if you like it then go for it!

I really like it!

Prefer Isaac. Someone I know named their son Stirling after David Stirling who founded the SAS.

Stirling is lots better than Isaac.

Stirling is much nicer than Isaac.

My eldest is called Sterling and we're yet to meet another boy with his name!

What's Isaac got to do with It? Did i miss something? OP was talking about sterling

@
@lollybee1

Isaac is in the OPs update

I'd roll my eyes at "can sterling come to tea?".

It's similar to Carter, Conner, Harrison etc.

A good attic surname, but not a first name.

Ah. OK. See it now. Read through twice and didnt see it before.

I like Stirling, and would choose it over Isaac.

Thank you, showing this to OH
