Emperor

[WhatsHoppening]

For a boy?

Unless you come from a cultural background where this might be a good choice, it’s probably a bad idea. If you are white, British family living in a suburb of a regional town people are going to find the name less appealing.

Duke or Earl?

Good god, no.

Kuzco or penguin spring to mind immediately

No - his future significant other won’t thank you. Imagine the self importance

Ach stop it! Horrendous name to bestow on a child. Why would you even consider it fgs????

😂 thank you for your input.
Its not really a serious contender- currently pregnant with first DS and I overheard a mother shouting her 2/3 year old son in the supermarket and he was called Emperor. It was the first time a name has really made me turn my head!

Was it Waitrose?! Perhaps she was asking him to grab the Tempura batter?!?!

What happens if he ends up working as a customer services operative in a call centre. He might feel a bit too grand.

On second thoughts, I'm assuming you are thinking for a human. If it's for a Guinea pig, then crack on.

Ah, so yet another post where someone isn’t asking for opinions on a name for any reason other than to ridicule the name of a child. How lovely.

@toastofthetown I haven’t ridiculed it at all. FWIW I think if you choose an out there name surely you’re prepared for a strong reaction either way with it. If you didn’t you’d pick a more mainstream name?

I would think it quite odd if you are white british, but in some cultures ive noticed royal themed names and I dont think anything of it.
Ive heard of people called Sultan, Majesty, Prince etc.

That would be completely ridiculous...

You can always pick an actual Roman Emperor name instead. Although probably not Caligula.

If you want something exotic I’d suggest Rothmans or Frogmella rather than this; they are less likely to have a negative effect in later life.

That's exactly what I thought!

@NotKevinTurvey Just want to say that I thought Kevin Turvey was a very funny character and I loved his crap 'investigations'

Great choice, OP. Go for it!

Emperor would go well with Akihito, Haile Selassie or even Haile Dubious as middle names.

Yes if you want your dc to have the piss taken out of him all his life and for him to hate you because you are an abusive attention idiot.

But you wanted this answer because you are a troll

Gone, but not forgotten.

I prefer His Serenity the Supreme Being, but, you do you.

I'd prefer Ming The Merciless tbh

You're right. There's a whole load of them. Some posters even come on and agree with the name "choice".

I think you misheard.

I know a prince but he spells it Prinz so I agree it could work - I only know a kid called lucifer so you know uncommon names are in style now.
