Our surname is Jones and hubby wants a 'rugged' first name to go with it. What do you think?

Seriously?

It's the name of a potato variety.

Strange choice

JuneBugJen · 11/08/2008 19:28

oh.
no.
Have you been there? Its full beautiful but of mosquitoes.
I just wouldn't.
Sorry.

JackieNo · 11/08/2008 19:28

No. Not keen. Sorry.

DisenchantedPlusBump · 11/08/2008 19:29

Rugged and Yukon don't go together.

NorkyButNice · 11/08/2008 19:29

Not to mention the obvious nickname of Yuk...

DisenchantedPlusBump · 11/08/2008 19:31

It sounds vomity.

brimfull · 11/08/2008 19:32

One of the territories of Canada ,tis certainly rugged.

Not a real name for a boy imo

Tortington · 11/08/2008 19:32

you con

brimfull · 11/08/2008 19:33

yukon

Flibbertyjibbet · 11/08/2008 19:36

Omg I read the title and thought it was asking for holiday recommendations...

For a NAME????? Get a grip!!

If your hubby wants a rugged name to go with Jones then try Vinny.

BBaby · 11/08/2008 19:36

Thanks. Have told hubby definitely no. It was no before but I'm glad to have some back up.

BTW we've both been to the Yukon, and hubby is Canadian.

at holiday destination

JuneBugJen · 11/08/2008 19:43

ah - then it is not as terrifying as i first thought if he is from Canada.

How about CN tower then?
Its not rugged but it makes a statement!

expatinscotland · 11/08/2008 19:44

I think it's so far beyond dumb ass I don't really have words for it.

GirlySquare · 11/08/2008 19:53

Yvon of the Yukon

Dynamicnanny · 11/08/2008 19:58

It sounds a car dealership

LazyLinePainterJane · 11/08/2008 19:59

piratecat, what is wrong with them is that, clearly, they are not potato varieties

BrownSuga · 11/08/2008 20:00

How about Indiana?

piratecat · 11/08/2008 20:04

eh?

amitymama · 11/08/2008 20:05

There's a truck in America called the Yukon.

Definitely not one I would go for.
