cruel

Very cruel .Don't do it. Even to a pet.

Fug

Ha ha, even to a pet, blimey!

Makes me think of a smelly person. Don't know why. Sorry [unhelpful emoticon]

Cruel. Have you not seen Shrek 2?

No no no

All the caveats about if you love it and all that

But no.

Oh dear praps he can be my imaginary son like my imaginary daughter Genevieve which I bottled at the last minute and called her something much simpler.

Then I could get on the Larger Families topic with kids and imaginary kids, its all so busy round here!

I am currently watching Blazing Saddles on TCM ..need I say more...pure wickedness

Genevieve is good.
Mungo is
Fine if he turned out to be an artist, university professor even. But admire your chutzpah!

I love the name Mungo (happy memories of a Scotish game keeper), but I wouldn't use it for my child. (Just my imaginary labrador)

mungo?really?dont do it

just reminds me of mungo jerry and doesnt the other guy have cool hair lol

Ohh I will mourn the boy called Mungo I never had for ever. I mourn Genevieve. Everyone says call the next one Genevieve then if its a girl. But I can't coz it feels like DD2s name and she is left with a Ford Mondeo name when she could have had a Bentley of a name.

Oh deary me. This is the thing I think about most when am pregnant. Silly really.

Love it.

what about sharpe

My gran used to talk about one of her childhood friends called Mungo, and I used to to pmsl everytime I heard the name.

Sorry

I believe Genevieve was actually a Darracq (sp?), not a Bentley

Touche TFM

I love it. It's one of those names that's so out there you'd really have to grow into it and make it cool. My cat was called Mungo, which I think my husband is relieved about because it meant he never had to argue vociferously against calling any son Mungo.

I have an unwanted housemouse called Mungo so for me, cruel in the extreme!

I like it - but for those of us of a certain age, it'll forever be associated with Mary and Midge!

i usually like slightly unusual names but not sure on mungo.sorry

Well, he's the patron saint of my home town but...

No. never.

How about Magnus instead?
