FLAME ME BUT I LOVE THE NAME

[Youaretoocool]

Elvis 😍😍😍😍😍

Can’t stop thinking about it

I love it! It's so cute 😍

I know a 13 year old Elvis. I thought for ages that it must be a nickname but it’s not.
I suppose it’s okaaaay.

Lovely for a dog!

Christ.

The poor kid

Yeah but it won't be you getting flamed will it? It'll be the child, and that's the point.

I get it. But just remember that you are naming a future adult person with their whole own identity and therefore you really have to ask yourself, should I really call my child Elvis?

@SecondCityShark

Christ.

Yes, that's probably a better alternative.

It will be ok on about 20 years

i worked with a man called Elvis, but he was from somewhere in the west Indies, where it is not so unusual i think.
he was also well over six foot and door supervisor build, so no one messed with him.

it suited him, and we never thought about it, but for a child in this country, i'm not so sure.

Have you seen Fireman Sam?
There’s a whole generation out there who don’t know the singer, but associate the name with an accident prone and not very bright animated Welsh fireman.

Hahahahah. Thank you so much for your rude inputs but It’s getting used regardless 🤣 as long as you’re not a dickhead in real life when you come across my son, I’m fine with that

@JaffacakeJanine you’re my favourite of the bunch 😍🤣

I met a South African Elvis once. It’s just not usable here though, sorry.

@nancybotwinbloom I don’t think that’s the case - Elvis Presley died in the 70s, over 40 years ago and almost 20 years before I was born, and he’s still 100% the association.

Do it!!

Love it.

@Youaretoocool just give him a normal middle name so he can choose to go by that when he’s sick of people asking about his blue suede shoes

I know of one at a club my son does, he must be around 5/6/7. It’s a hard no from me but hey, variety is the spice of life.

Your probably right.

When do you think it will be fashionable tinier elvis again?

"Our Girl" fan? Gutted when he died

@Lunde

Actually no?? But I have just been told this is a thing.

😂😂😂 surely kids will be past the original Elvis phase

That’s funny because my first thought was Costello.

There are people walking around with the name Nigel and he’s not getting any grief, Elvis is cool

I used to know an Elvis! And he was English. He'd be about 60 now I suppose. People did often think his name was a joke, but he never seemed to mind.

My cat's called Elvis, it's a cool name! 😀
