Horace

[BlowDryRat]

I like it, DH is unconvinced.

13:15MysticCT Did one of these brothers have a motorbike and lived in town beginning with L

Sorry, no they didn't. The town began with H and they kept chickens.

No, sorry, its an awful name.

@MilduraS

Not for a baby boy. It was on my list of names for my new cat.

I nearly said great pet name!

Bloody love Horace! Was my Granddads name! To be honest never considered it properly should have gone for it with my DS.

Thanks Mystic,
I knew 2 bachelor brothers who lived together called Horace and Cecil, who would indeed be over 100 if they were alive, thought it might be same ones considering they arent common names.

It's strange, as the ones I knew lived together as well, in the same house they'd lived in all their lives.
I suppose it was probably common to do that in those days.

Utter shite OP. Haud yersel' back!

Horus, the ancient Egyptian God?

Bloody love Maud too because it was my granny’s name.
Hell would have frozen over though before I’d have inflicted it on a child.

Christ, should have caught up. Horacio is even worse.

Bunch of meanies, that's what you are.

Horatios/Horaces are fab.

The Horatios and Horaces that you live no doubt are. (Do you really know Horatios and Horaces? That’s quite unusual)

Would you enjoy being called either, though?

@MrsSkylerWhite

Well - I was thinking of my son (Horatio, known as Horace)!

Was tempted to call DD1 Horatia, but thought that might be overkill (though would have done it, had I not had a boy first).

No. I'm sure that the little Horaces on this thread are adorable, but it is definitely not a name I would use.

Mind you I said that about Arthur and Amos before I worked with them...

@TheGreenManIsFlashing

are you new?
the correct term is "nest of vipers"

See, now I’m conflicted. Is she taking the piss or not?

In which case, my reply has to be Horace/Horatio/Horatia ate glorious, stalwart, fantastic.

Or

F**king awful.

Nope!

@MrsSkylerWhite I'm being a bit arch, but I am absolutely not taking the piss!

However, I've been on MN since Horatio was born (which is a very long time ago), so I'm not going to take anything too personally. I can cope with the vipers' verdict.

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba Hihi. I have just done an 'advanced search' on my own username, and I last posted under this particular name in 2009. Horatio was born in 2002.

And, OP, you will regret it forever if you don't go for it!

@TheGreenManIsFlashing

And, OP, you will regret it forever if you don't go for it!

No you won't. Nor will your son.

@campion, you have no taste.

My son likes his name, btw.

I much prefer Horatio

Ook

Grim.

My taste was not to inflict Horace on my sons. I think they're happy with that!
Besides, your son is actually Horatio.
