What do we think of the name Argon? I think it sounds noble but DH says he associates it with the far right!

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

@DropYourSword

I thought “washing machines live longer with Argon”?!
@DropYourSword That was "Calgon" (sorry; photographic memory, particularly for advertising slogans and jingles. It's very tedious) Wink

But I wouldn't name a child after a gas. Or a washing-machine descaler.

@RunRunGingerbreadMan

Isn't it 'Calgon' that helps washing machines live longer? Also a good name option Wink

Or Boron.
(Or is the nn too predictable?)

Middle name 'Oil' ?

(Yeah I know it's Argan.. 🙃)

It's kind of awful, really.

Just takes me back to science lessons I’m afraid.

It's a NO from me. Nitric oxide that is.
