Humour me - what about SHEL for a boy?

[eenybeeny]

And is it short for anything? Just curous it isnt really on my radar yet but I heard it and it made me wonder.

Chel? Heidi. No.

???
Never heard of it before and don't think I want to.

Sheldon

he is an author

Sheldon? But no, step away from the name!!

ok - will do! too poncy

If I shut my mind to all external influences, I quite like the sound. However, once I allow reality to seep in, I find myself screaming "no".

Shelley. He was a poet/writer, married to Mary Shelley, writer of Frankenstein.

no.

Under no circumstances.

Why?

Poor thing will be bullied for life. Mrs Bucket (keeping up apperances) called her son Sheldon. I think he was gay, he was never seen in the TV programme though.

ahem, Shelley was his surname. You'd have to call him Percy

noooo.maybe they were saying shay but had something in there mouths??????

thanks ladies but it isnt Shelley I am not a dunce!! its Shel Silverstien!!

I know. His wife wouldn't have been called Mary Shelley if it was his first name. I quite like the name Shelley though

ah, American

Because it's horrible

I'm rather fond of Percy. Would prob be unfair

Sheldon Silverstien! What were they thinking?

i used to go to school with a sheldon

It's not even a name - it's just a collection of letters.

Shel Silverstein - fab author and generally cool kinda guy. But still wouldn't name my kid Shel.

Ridiculous and unfair...

i want to put 'toe' on the end, aka my fave trainers by adidas!
