Toltson - a name we are considering for firstborn son

57 replies

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I was hoping to get feedback on a name I like for my firstborn. Obviously, this is vastly different from the names you typically see on these types of forums and I wanted to see what everyone's thoughts are.

I'm set on having something old-fashioned, perhaps borderline antiquated because these are the type of names I like. I think they are unique. This one I made up myself (which makes me like it even moreGrin) so I wanted to get opinions from others because I have been in deep thought about it for a while now.

This being my first born, I was thinking I may name the second-born Oltson (if its a boy)? So it would be Toltson & Oltson. This is just an idea though.

Let me know your thoughts! Smile

I know a family who have a Daya, Amaya, Taya and Soraya. Please don't do it. Let your children be individuals.

Apparently Töltsön means 'spend' in Hungarian.

And if you google Toltson, one of the first results is for a twitter account of that name with some very NSFW gay porn content.

Other than that, sounds good.

Toltson? Sounds like doltson, as in son of dolt? Sounds about right.
On the off chance this isn’t a windup, how about Toseland, tolly for short.

This is a joke, right?

jojomolo · 11/12/2020 13:29

The tolt is the peculiarly smooth fifth gait of native Icelandic horses. It is absolutely hilarious in real life.

Bonus, if it's a girl, simply switch to Toltsdottir.

Why would anyone report this thread. Yes it’s a joke, but it’s not offensive to anyone and some of the responses on here have giving me a right laugh.

jojomolo · 11/12/2020 15:33

It's the funsponges' world, alas. We're just living in it.

Us and Balonz.

SendHelp30 · 11/12/2020 15:35

Balonz is too popular. OP wants something yoonique

ktp100 · 11/12/2020 16:03

It does sound awfully chavvy.

Sorry.

What about Holston? That's an actual name (and also the name if a character in a book I love).

lottiegarbanzo · 11/12/2020 16:17

I hear Colston is available?

FawnDrench · 11/12/2020 17:15

Riiiigghht -
Very droll - wait - Drollston is soooper.

Lovely names for a pair of hamsters.

Are you on glue?

fmlfmlfmlfm · 11/12/2020 19:17

Your baby your choice I think it sounds like an Ikea dresser but I also know children that are named after food items and it doesn't phase anyone x

Doublebubblebubble · 11/12/2020 19:18

Dont do it

lalafafa · 11/12/2020 19:21

Sounds like a brand of power tools

BabyLlamaZen · 11/12/2020 19:22

Trollll in the dungeon.

feellikeanalien · 11/12/2020 19:25

I can just imagine going into a country pub and asking for a pint of Toltson.😁

HopeYourHighHorseBucks · 11/12/2020 19:29

Yeah fuck it why not

Monstamio · 11/12/2020 19:32
