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 think plum is really pretty but Tudor and Thatcher are both seem very strange choices. Do you have any other options? it's your decision. Good luck.

OP as you'll see I thought you were talking about your boy. Hadn't read properly so sorry that!

I can definitely see now how Plum and Tudor don’t sound like siblings. Thanks for all the comments. For now, we’ll go back to the drawing board and leave Tudor and especially Thatcher behind. 😊

Would you say Eros and Plum go together in some way ?

I'm Welsh and Tudor is a perfectly normal, nice name :)

She is Plum as in Victoria Plum.

Oh, my fucking God.

Thatcher.

I don't know whether to die laughing or die from depression.

I know of a few Tudors (I'm also in wales), so I don't think that name l is that 'out there' really.

Thatcher is from greys anatomy- I quite like it although it sounds very American as a name. My parents would be horrified by thatcher as a name in this country

Eros?

OK, this HAS to be a wind-up thread. I'm out.

@StatementKnickers
I’ve already said that I like names that are a more out there. If you don’t like the name, that’s perfectly fine. There’s no need to be nasty.

You have to be Kidding?

Easton
Mihai
Fletcher

Tudor was on our list until we tested it with some English friends. It proved to be unpronounceable

Have seen more than one Soho sex shop / massage parlour called Eros. I'm not sure why anyone would seriously think this is an appropriate name for a baby.

Eros?

It’s a bit mundane
How about

Quack
Velvet
Tenacious
Preen
Chipotle
Zingy
Helsinki
Tango
Camelot
Bonkers
Terracotta
Undulate
Affliction

Just some random attention seeking shite I’ve tossed out there for you

Eros????

Did you know that’s the Greek god of sexual attraction, and where the word erotic comes from?

I would 100% avoid that as a name for a baby. Those connotations would be hard for an adult to carry off, never mind a child.

Tudor and Thatcher are much better than Eros.

Henry?

I thought crisps too. The tudors were not quite as crackers as the Plantagenets, so there’s that.

How do you pronounce it in welsh? Is it from Owen Tudor etc?

My uncle is called Tudor, I really like it.

Thatcher makes me think of Maggie and thus want to vomit.

For some reason I think Plum and Jasper sound like siblings, and then you'd still have a connection of sorts to Tudor.

What about Sugar with Tits as a middle name?

Eros is the Greek god of sex. Where we get the word "erotic" from.

Though if you're already admittedly out there, then you might be cool with calling him that.

But he might feel the embarrassment when he discovers what it means...

I don’t think there’s a person in the country that would hear Thatcher without thinking Margaret. Tudor - I just have visions of Henry VIII! Both names horrendous. Not even out there - just ridiculous.

Plum and Tudor/Eros, wow your poor kids 🤣

This is a joke. Canny bag of Tudor or Thatcher's Cider.
