I like it.

A lot.

And, I wouldn't be at all embarrassed for people to think that I named him after Django Reinhart either.

Well, she was born in 2002!
Finger on the pulse, that's me!

sagitta · 02/07/2008 16:26

Yes

ByTheSea · 02/07/2008 17:16

I like it (and am a jazz fan).

Tempting (I thought of Djano Bates, too) but I'd resist for fear of him rebelling and growing up to be an Alan Partridge-esque figure.

edamdepompadour · 02/07/2008 17:21

doh! Django, obv.

themildmannneredjanitor · 02/07/2008 17:22

no no no
i think these name threads are getting a bit daft now aren't they?

Chaotica · 02/07/2008 17:30

I like it. Wanted to use it for DS. But maybe that is cos i am gypsy. (So of course tradition dictated that I wanted to call him Elvis too...) (Didn't get either past DP!)

Good jazz name too.

(Why can't a plumber be called Django?)

Anglepoise · 02/07/2008 17:46

Not keen. But then it gives me "how do you say it?" fear, plus I hate jazz

Boco · 02/07/2008 18:18

A plumber called Django would be COOL, a civil servant called Django would too.

If there were two plumbers, Wayne and Django, I'd plumb for Django, any day.

oopsacoconut · 02/07/2008 18:23

I like it - was on my list but too hippy for DH.

ShowOfHands · 02/07/2008 18:26

Next door have a Cairn terrier called Django. He's cute. I quite like it for a human child.

SoupDragon · 02/07/2008 18:55

desperately wants to hear other contenders>>

zephyrcat · 02/07/2008 19:19

I've had 'Return of the Django' in my head all day since reading this!

No bad thing - very cool tune!

Hulababy · 02/07/2008 19:30

I don't like Django, no sorry.

idontbelieveit · 02/07/2008 20:16

hmmm, mixed repsonses.
TMMJ - why is this a daft thread? I wanted opinions, I may well call my unborn child Django, i'm not taking the piss i promise!
Other contenders, here we go....
Levin
Nile
Oskar/Oscar
Vincent
Dexter

Tell me the worst, I can take it

Why not Django? As others have said, if it was good enough for Reinhardt & Bates.
Although I must confess the first time I ever met a Django to a conversation along these lines - me 'Oh are your parents jazz fans [pauses and gets very embarrassed] Oh no, I bet everyone says that to you' . . .
But apparantly, no, they don't (either that or the poor man was trying to spare my blushes)

kingfix · 02/07/2008 20:40

Levin, Levin, Levin! It's my fave. No actually you can;t ahve it (snatches back). Levin in Anna Karenina was my big sixth form literary crush (no, I don't have any friends)

nooka · 02/07/2008 20:45

Sounds like fanjo to me, although outside mumsnet I'm not sure if that matters. I like your other names much better (except Nile).

Takver · 02/07/2008 20:48

All sound fine to me, although Dexter does make me think of cattle. Nice cattle though.
