Tudor for a boy

[TwoBigNorks]

What do you think of this name I cam across last week?

Tudor

Taliesin not hard to say at all.
If you have a brain and a mobile tongue.

I used to quite like Tudor crisps. So...I LIKE IT!!

Chewy - that would be what his mates would call him. And from there, Chewbacca (the big woolly guy off star wars, speaks with a rahhh, and whom han solo attempts, unsuccessfully, to boss around).

Crisps, tall fluffy dudes - both good triggers.

If he had younger siblings you could also continue the trend, with say Plantagenet or Jacobite. That kind of thing.

I know that should be the case, MD, but honestly, I am surprised at the number of people who struggle with ds's very simple Welsh name - we gave him the English version to make it easier and they still get it wrong! It's only four letters and two syllables, fgs...

It's so thick.

(Good job my father lost the argument over calling my sister Angharad - if people get confused with ds's very straightforward name, dunno what on earth they would have made of it.)

Its ok I dont plan to use it!

I think that of the more unusual names its one that sounds clear and is easy to spell, so were it to catch on it could hang around for ages. I like it.

For twins; Tudor and York maybe

"Why aye man, for Tudor [crisps], I'd climb a mountain!"

Not a name you could use in the North East without derision from nostalgic parents.

Makes me think of a big, fat monarch. It's a no from me.

Think how much the poor kid will be bullied when they study history at school.

Tudor and York. Just think of the sibling rivalry...

Glad I'm not the only one who loves Taliesin.

I'm part Welsh, and lived in Snowdonia for three years.

Such a beautiful language.

Wasn't Tudor spelt something like Tewdwr originally? They were from Anglesey, I think.

Chew-Door?

No, please don't .

Swords of a Thousand men is SUCH a brilliant song

have great memories of whirling around to it with a loads of mates at my wedding. Fab

Its ok I'm not going to, its just a name I came across...

There was a vet called Tudor on Vets in Hong Kong on Discovery. I always liked it from then. I don't see what's wrong with it

If it was spelt like that Boo, would have been to asist English in pronouncing it properly. No problem with that in Welsh. Very phonetically balanced language.

I have an uncle Tudor (v Welsh) and my son has Tudor as a middle name. It is Welsh for Theodore, but to me it doesn't sound as middle class as Theodore, and it's more unusual. It means "gift of God", so while being a bit different, it's a real name with a tradition and a meaning.

Evidently, I quite like it!

No.
Theadore is English for Tudor.

I like it. It's a romanian variant of teodor.
