Sorry, not keen. Kenneth is okay - though some people say it's dated. But Kenton, no. I do like Leighton fwiw.

The Archers

Station on the Bakerloo line.

I don’t mind it though.

Not very often I have such a strong ‘noooooooo’ reaction. It’s the name of a very undesirable area in the north east. If you live anywhere near Newcastle then avoid at ALL costs!

Wasn’t that the black lab that was chasing deer and wouldn’t come back on that viral video a few years back?

Fenton.

Close though!

Kenton Cool is a famous mountain climber/expedition leader of Everest and similar. I'm not sure about it though.

His name always makes me think of toothpaste 😂

Good grief, no.

Exactly what I was coming to say. As far as place names go, not one I'd be choosing.

Wehavealaughdontwe · 03/03/2025 20:00

It's an area of Newcastle that absolutely nobody wants to be named after

evilharpy · 03/03/2025 20:00

Tube station was my first thought.

If she was then surely she wouldn't want to call him Kenton!

Boodahh · 03/03/2025 20:03

Sounds like the name of a town or village sorry

ScrambledSmegs · 03/03/2025 20:10

My parents used to live there. It's a district in North London. DM claims it was a better area than Kingsbury but I can't say there was much difference.

Have you got a thing for Metroland?
