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.

Its your baby so call him whatever you want. He may not (or then again he may) thank you for it, but hey, there's always deed poll.

As for my opinion ...call him George

Made the mistake of trying to watch a movie called the Cougar Club recently. I lasted 5 minutes - it was the tackiest thing I've ever seen, and it would poison that name for me forever I'm afraid...

If the OP is American then different cultural norms apply and I would guess that she would get away with it. If she's British then my God they're funny.

slim22 · 31/07/2008 11:03

if this is not a wind up this must be Gwen Steffani......

Very rock and roll in your circle.

Isn't 'cougar' the name that phoebe from friends wanted to call one of her brothers triplets? I always thought that was hilarious at the time!

girlsallaround · 31/07/2008 11:25

why not Colt? or Colton?

girlsallaround · 31/07/2008 11:28

or what about
Divo

like Diva but for a boy?

girlsallaround · 31/07/2008 11:30

a friend of mine growing up would always say when she had a girl she would call her 'Banister'. she thought it sounded pretty.

good thing she had a boy....

zippitippitoes · 31/07/2008 11:31

seeker · 31/07/2008 11:32
