no

minouminou · 02/07/2008 16:03

we got one round here
depends on surname
have a feeling it may prove a little too popular in the future
not struck

Not sure. Have heard a little boy called Django and it really suited him. His parents were hippies and he was gorgeous!

WinkyWinkola · 02/07/2008 16:03

Brilliant.

Sunshinemummy · 02/07/2008 16:04

Know a little boy who has this as a middle name. Quite cute but not sure I'd use it.

SoupKitchen · 02/07/2008 16:04

I know the name from a book, have always wondered how it is pronounced??

SoupDragon · 02/07/2008 16:05

Poncey.

just read a book where the excentric uncle was django! good book- but shouting 'Django' across the playground is going to get some

lost a few fingers in a fire and still played brilliantly
teamed up with stephan grappelli a lot

it's Django Reinhardt that gave us the idea.
If you think that's poncey SD, you should hear some of the other contenders!

now.........we HAVE to hear the contenders
you're teasing us, and you know you are

Boco · 02/07/2008 16:14

Hmmm. I like it.
Wasn't there a film about him - or about a made up person but with him in it? Directed by Woody Allen? I might have made that up though.

minouminou · 02/07/2008 16:15

sweet and lowdown

Boco · 02/07/2008 16:16

Yes, that's it!

pointydog · 02/07/2008 16:16

nice in theory, not in practice

CountessDracula · 02/07/2008 16:18

It is fine for a cat

minouminou · 02/07/2008 16:18

yeah...i think you're right, pointy
it's a nice name, but when this mother called her little boy to her in the gym changing rooms i (and let's face it, i can bloody talk) grimaced a bit

Boco · 02/07/2008 16:21

I don't think mn is a good place to ask about this one.

It's inevitably going to be called poncey here. As are most names.

Apart from James and William and Matthew and Luke.

I find mn very conservative about names. I'm glad I didn't know about mn when I named my girls Wakkapank and Fibblottle.

kingfix · 02/07/2008 16:21

Also Django Bates - good for jazz fans. Read a good test of name suitability on here recently - something like (rifles through old threads)
'Django where's your potty'
'I think Django is ready for his next promotion' and
' I love you Django'

Fennel · 02/07/2008 16:23

I know a young Django. I like it. but then I do like "poncey" names.

minouminou · 02/07/2008 16:23

oh for god's sake, boco
fibblottle?
how very 2002
