Hello all... I need some help. My DH and I have settled on calling our ds Legend Cougar or Cougar Legend. Which do you like better?

The only other option we will think of is Xander. Thanks for your help.

I greatly prefer Xander.

I actually misread Cougar as Codger initially. Which isn't 'fierce'.

im deffo a cougar myself

You know you've won the argument when you descend to being rude! I just cannot understand why people ask for opinions and then get huffy when they get them!

Ceelo · 31/07/2008 09:57

Um, sorry seeker but I don't think you won, I think they were having you on the whole time. I just read this whole post and am dying with laughter.

p.s. not so sure that opinions on baby names count as an argument anyway

Cougar sounds like a kind of sports shoe.

You are not for real. I hope.

zippitippitoes · 31/07/2008 10:09

clearly not for real

frazzledoldbag34 · 31/07/2008 10:15

Ford Cougar? (haven't read the whole post so apologies if has already been mentioned)

Honda Legend? (my neighbour had one of those!)

Sorry, but really just NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Xander is not bad tho.

There is a pub near our IL's house called The Flying Legends. We call it The Flying Leg Ends [childish]

Don't go the feline route, go canine

how about Howlin' Wolf apostrophe important I think

VeniVidiVickiQV · 31/07/2008 10:18

Wasnt there an episode of friends where Phoebe suggested calling one of her triplets Cougar?

It's a great name......for a Gladiator.....

Personally, I'd not go for gladiator names, I'd go for superheroes. So, my next son would be called Wolverine. My next daughter would be called Wonderwoman.

zippitippitoes · 31/07/2008 10:19

yes it is the ugly brother of the rather nice puma well the thunder is nice

i was offered one of these recently and i wish i had had it instead of getting my car repaired

frazzledoldbag34 · 31/07/2008 10:20

Hee Hee. That's what my dad used to call our neighbours car (we didn't like them).

The Leg-End!
(It was maroon - in case you were wondering!)

And isn't a Ford Cougar a hairdressers car (no offence to hairdressers)

frazzledoldbag34 · 31/07/2008 10:21

Maverick ? hmmmm
Wonder if you could get away with yelling that in the supermarket?
Mav, Mav, put those coco pops down?

What are you thinking? Don't be so bloody selfish! Screw your head back on and think of the long term implications of this ridiculous whim. You CANNOT call a child Cougar Legend, Legend Cougar, and actually, in reference to an earlier post, Fuckhead is an improvement.

What are you going to do in 16 years time when he screams at you "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST CALL ME JAMES?????"

They are horrible, horrible names, and everyone will treat him differently because of it - even if it's simply laughing and saying "No, really what's your name?" when he introduces himself.

Really, really. Call him Harry. Or James. Or Danny. Or Muhammed. Something normal.

You have an interesting posting history, Babstefani.

I remember when children were given names as names.

In case your sproglet pops out and doesn't look like a Cougar (some babies aren't too hairy after all), may I suggest you consider...

Spark Plug

Strontium Dynamite

Why not have Cougar with a Latin twist - Puma Concolor?

That way he's more likely to get sponsorship from a sports footwear company.

Blandmum · 31/07/2008 10:31

This has to be a wind up. This is the worst name suggested sonce someone was thinking of Alias as a name!
