We compromised on Landon😂

I also think of Lando Norris, but that isn't a bad thing.

Ours was nearly Lando but he’s a Max. Big F1 fans here!

Love Orlando. Lando on its own is rather clumsy.

Firecat84 · 23/06/2022 13:53

I really like it! Much cooler than Orlando imo.

It's sounds like the kind of nickname a bloke is given by his mates. Lando, Browno and Fat Gaz - watch out ladies here come the banter merchants.

I don't normally like 'out there' names for want of a better term but I love Lando! Much better than Orlando. It's a proper name in its own right from what I have read - yep I liked it so much I even googled it

Hope and Glory

I like it but it, but agree it sounds like a nickname someone would give their mate. Or a nickname for a north wales town!

It reminds me of Lando Norris and I think Star Wars has a Lando? I'm not mad about it, but it isn't an absolute no. Similar in vibe to me to something like Lyall or Leonard

I find this really odd. Sportsmen (and it's always men - normally footballers) having babies named after them. Your kid isn't a fan accessory like a shirt or scarf.

"Where's your name from?"
"My parents liked F1"
"What's that?"
"Back when no one gave a shit about the environment, overpaid wankers were paid ridiculous money to drive around burning fossil fuels"
"Weird. Pass another baked rat please"

I'm assuming the world has descended into dystopia because of climate change.

My first thought was Star Wars

ArcheryAnnie · 23/06/2022 15:26

I like it.
