Denzel for a little boy?

[LuLu227]

What do people think of the name Denzel for a little boy?
We like it because it’s old and of Cornish origin. My husbands family is Cornish but we don’t live there. Not sure if people will just think of Denzel Washington? Wondering what the rest of the world thinks of the name?

Or Rodney

Why not, it’s a perfectly good name

Not sure if people will just think of Denzel Washington?

Or Denzel (Denzil?) Penberthy if you are adding the Cornish theme?

I

Remember you are not naming a little boy, you are naming a person who will have that name forever.
That's not to say I hate the name Denzel, but I do think lots of people name a baby.

Great name! Go for it.

It's okay. I have Denzils in my Cornish family history, so wouldn't just think of Denzel Washington.

I think its a great name although my association is with Denzel Washington. I don't think thats a bad thing though

I think of the one in Only Fools and Horses.

I would think of Denzil Washington, but his peer group won’t... also sounds v West so makes me of Worzel Gummidge, but his peers probably won’t... so I think the only thing is do you like Den/Denny as a nn, because he will end up being called that

I think the majority of people would think of Denzel Washington, because he's so well known and also looking at the statistics, it's not a very well used name in the UK.

Having said that, it has a nice sound imo and I love the nn Denny on a little one!

Love it
