Nigel

[brightwave]

Is it due a revival? Or best be left in the past?

Not keen on Nigel, but I do like Graham, Jeremy and Geoffrey which I think all have a similar vibe (and my dp vetoed for us!)

Ooh and Malcolm.

Not yet, but give it ten years

What, after Monty Don's late lamented dog?

Best left in the past but I've worked with two Nigel's and they were the nicest colleagues so I have a soft spot for it.

I've also worked with two lovely Nigels, and hence have a real fondness for the name.

Oh never

No offence but no.

Good grief.

No. Farage.

There were only 9 Nigel's born in England and Wales in 2019

I know a nice one too, why is it so particularly maligned?

I think it suffers from the same thing that Karen now does tbh! As "he's a bit of a Nigel" has been around for ages. I know a lovely Nigel too, but I wouldn't name my son Nigel all the same.

A nigel is perhaps perceived to not speak up enough! Not have enough backbone! A man is allowed to speak up and out.
