Ok, hubby has made me ask this.... what do you think of Yukon?

[BBaby]

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

BBx

Yukon be serious?

no please no

turn back now

lololol at yvon of the Yukon!

Honestly? I think it's awful, just awful.

Sorry but pmsl @ Yukon

wow
that's got even me
put it down, and back away now

No it's got to be animal names from now on. I think the name Bear has already been taken. Hippopotamus sounds silly but how about River Horse? That's rugged surely?

Albert/Albie, after Alberta?

Logan, after the mountain?

Sorry, I am actually weeping with laughter. Yukon?

[chokes]

Fred after Fredericton

James Bay

Edmond after Edmonton

you see where I'm going with this? But please, please, not Yukon, esp as a first name, second name possibly.

Yuk!

Rugged names

mmm....cannot think of any rugged names as such. am thinking of rugged men but their names are not rugged......

Laurence Daglaglio

Daniel Craig

Sean Bean (sort of rugged but short)

Clive Owen (yum!)

Ben
Dan
Sam

Yukon - no! a bit wet actually - certainly not rugged!

Sounds like a character from Star Trek.

Can you imagine shouting "YUKON, COME HERE NOW" in a few years down at the park? Now can you imagine the look on other people's faces??

My first thought was also You Con. Shortened to Yucky.

When we named our LO we tried to imagine the following:

1. Calling it out in the supermarket
2. Our LO going on to be a Dr or lawyer or another 'serious' profession (no pressure to do well LOL ).

If it didn't pass those tests it was binned!
I have to say IMO I'm not keen!

Vin Jones dittany? Think it through.

How about Red? Like Red Adair (he used to put out oil well fires. Now that's rugged)

Just think of what it will be shortened to.

I'm sorry to have to point this out but the diminutive of Yukon must undoubtedly be Yucky.

Oh sorry QS, you did that already. As you were.

I assume you are British. can you think of anywhere 'rugged' in GB?

Southmead near us in Bristol is 'rugged' in a roundabout way. Southmead Jones.

It has a definite ring to it...

How about Burly? or Brawny? or Tree?

All quite rugged, me thinks.

How about Storm?

Gorbals
Pecs
Schwarzenegger Jones has a ring to it
Or BruceWillis Jones
Spike
Plank
Knuckleduster
Crag
