What do you think of the name Ratner for a boy?

[Hilder]

Also on our list are

Spar

Ratner?

How did you come to make that up?

Because tbh, it sounds made up.

DS was called Costcutter for a while

'Tesco' is nice

oh, do you have Spar supermarkets in the UK?

Is this a joke?

Are you thinking of crap shop names?

How about Greggs
or Primark

Sainsbury?
Debenham?
Mark?
Spencer?

Makes me think of cheap jewellery a la Gerald Ratner.

Or a rat.

Spar - well it's a shop, isn't it?

Why do they both have cheap shop connotations? Sorry but Ratner reminds me of Gerald Ratner and Spar in a convenience store

Poundstretcher is a lovely name for a girl

and co-op? Bit chavvy I'm afraid. My ds are Fortnum and Maison and there's my little dd Waitrose.

McDonald

bet thats actually been done

Etam is nice.

Or what about Oxfam?

All these names are crap. You are a mner. Call him Boden.

Noooooooo !!! ratner will always be synonymous with crap after that awful jeweller man said his Ratner jewellery was crap !! you can't do it to a child - no way !!

Spar is also a shop by the way !

You need to look at that bay name book again - I think you must be looking at a list of high street retailers by mistake !

for expat's benefit

How about Morrison.

Or Joules.

WT - I met a Boden the other day!

No, no, you want modern names.

Like Amazon. Or Ocado.

Argos is nice.

Or Lidl for a girl.

Mark and Spencer are nice names.

Aldi has a continental ring to it

And if you were a real MNer, I think you'd probably knit your own name acksherly.

ah cheap jewellers. You dont get many of those anymore. Have to rely on Elizabeth Dukes really....
