Tudor ?

[Yoshinori]

Hi,

I’m expecting a boy in a few weeks time. DH and I are currently stick between Tudor and Thatcher for our second child.

I prefer Thatcher but I’m worried it would remind people of Margret Thatcher.

Our first child is called Plum so we definitely like names “out there”.

Thanks for any help.

I knew Tudor was a Welsh name but a Romanian friend of mine also has a son called that.

Definitely Tudor over Thatcher. Definitely. Even without the family connections.

The only men named Tudor I've known were Welsh and they said it as Tudur, but spelt it Tudor

I used to love a canny bag of tudor. Gammon flavour especially. Definitely not thatcher. Milk snatcher.

aha, looked it up. Tudor is a version of Theodore. That makes sense.

More usually Tudur in Wales, as not pronounced the same as the Tudors.
Tenpole Tudor. Hahaha. But preferable to Thatcher.
Thatcher. Why ? Why ? Thatcher the milk snatcher. Please don’t inflict this on a little baby. I can see Ben Elton saying Thatch in my mind as I type.

I dont believe that anyone would actually call their child Plum.
Maybe as a nickname ? But not as a first name.

Plum Sykes is actually called Victoria. Plum is her family pet name.

I really like Tudor, but an ex-colleague's husband is called Tudor so I heard it fair bit and it grew on me!

Thatcher is a total no go though.

Not keen on thatcher. Maggie, cider. Doesn't feel like a name. I quite like tudor though.

I don't believe this is real, sorry

Thatcher is Merdith’s father’s name in Grey’s Anatomy.

Fletcher instead of thatcher

I know a Tudor, he’s Romanian though, not Welsh. I like it.

Just NO to Thatcher.

I have a friend who's middle name is Tudor
I really like it.

No to both.

Plum?

Jurassic or Drystone Waller.

Tudor is a normal enough name in the USA.

I used to teach a boy called Tudor. He was lovely kid. NN was Dory though. As in Finding Nemo. That was unfortunate.

What was the thinking behind Thatcher? Did you know it was a vaguely recent British prime minister's surname? And a brand of popular cider?

And I definitely associate Tudor with a brand of crisps, as well known as Golden Wonder.

I know a Tudor, I like it. (He is an older Welsh man).

I dont believe that anyone would actually call their child Plum

I remember a poster who has a daughter called Plum and unfortunately I know one in real life

Crisps for me too. Pickled onion flavour to be precise.
Not Thatcher; not for many years yet. I wanted to call my son, Blair, but I knew I couldn’t without obvious association and I voted for the man. But you simply cannot give your child a name that so radically divides the nation.

I know of a woman called Plum. She's in her 30s and comes from quite a bohemian family. Her siblings also have what would be considered 'out there' names.

I know of a Tudor. He's Welsh and a gentle giant. Also in his 30s so I've never seen it as an old man's name.

Anyone of a certain age (40+) and from the North East, will instantly think crisps the minute they hear 'Tudor'. Like me.

To be fair, I’m not in 40+ and my child won’t likely be hanging out with anyone 40+. I also don’t live in the North East of England. I assume you mean England.

I dont believe that anyone would actually call their child Plum

I get that Plum is an out there name but there’s nothing offensive about the name in any way.
