Thoughts on Presley? What does it remind you of, if anything?

Great name for a hound dog

As if, OP , as if.
😉😁😁😂😂😂

Not meaning to be rude btw. If you like it then use it. It's a nice strong sound.
But it might get very wearying for a child if there are lots of connotations either of the 1950/60/70's singer or the recent 'sleb' variety?

Not sure that your child will be too happy about it when they get older.

Ds is called Presely (22) as far as I know she likes her name.

DiscoBeat · 26/06/2023 14:30

It reminds me of a surname. Give him a first name!

TallulahBetty · 26/06/2023 14:32

Awful. Try-hard. Oh we are sooooo into our music, daaaahling

SoWhatEh · 26/06/2023 14:32

It doesn't remind me of anything. Should it? What am I missing?

Hmm

So a terrible name AND not even spelled correctly? Yikes.

FayCarew · 26/06/2023 14:43

@TallulahBetty , maybe Presely is pronounced Prescelly like the Preseli mountain range

So a different name then

NooNakedJacuzziness · 26/06/2023 14:49

Don't be cruel

uncomfortablydumb53 · 26/06/2023 14:49

It's a no from me

FayCarew · 26/06/2023 14:50

No idea, TallulahBelle. Probably better than being called Quantock or Brycheiniog Smile

jammydodgies · 26/06/2023 14:51

It reminds me of Wesley and unfortunately that's not a very 'cool' name. I think it's a bit chavvy - sorry!

CurlewKate · 26/06/2023 14:53

A guy down the chip shop.....

JeminaSunshine · 26/06/2023 16:14

It's a shocker. I was 😬 when Jess Wrighy announced it.

Spanielsarepainless · 26/06/2023 16:16

Ghastly.

BoohooWoohoo · 26/06/2023 16:19

Awful. Considering his love of very young girls why would you pick a pedo's name ?

strawberrywhisk · 26/06/2023 16:22

Another generation will not be familiar with Elvis unlike some of us old farts, so I can't see any playground bullying. If you like it, use it.

Why would anyone pick names that could be a murderer etc, don't be so goady. Have there been no Peters or Ians since Sutcliffe or Brady?

Or you're so old 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 26/06/2023 16:27

The eldest of three brothers I know...... I'm not joking, the younger ones are Dylan and Lennon. To be fair, they have different mothers, so Presley and D&L are not together all of the time, but that's one heck of a themed sibset by their dad!

is it always on your mind OP? Don’t be cruel, it’s now or never to make your choice.

MucozadeOnLucozade · 26/06/2023 16:29

You're caught in a trap with that name.
