Mungo

[soopysock]

Mungo keeps being brought up when we discuss names. Dh is not sure but I think it's a cool name which works well for both a young boy and an adult.
I'm hoping to convince dh. So what do you think?

Not for me - reminds me of one of the cats in Cats (Mungo Jerry). Are you Scottish?

I like it very much - classic, strong and masculine sounding!

On a par with Bunty for me.

Not for me I'm afraid -it takes me back to Mary, Mungo and Midge.

I love it. It's a good name if you're Scottish or very posh, otherwise it will be forever associated with a dog living in a tower block.

The patron saint of single mothers somebody told me. Very cool. But I'm not posh enough and I'm not Scottish enough, so you can have it. [waves and bows graciously]

I taught a lovely boy called Mungo. Despite his loveliness i could not warm to his name...

Dh loves it, but I'm not so sure.........

I like it. I think it's a grower and I wouldn't worry about the dog in the cartoon series. It was in the 70s after all and I don't think they'll be bringing it back somehow.

My friends called their baby Django, which I think has a similar ring. At first I was a bit concerned but it has really grown on me and any discomfort I may originally have felt has vanished.

No, sorry don't like it at all. I don't think it works well for boy or man.

I like it, but then, I'm the nostalgic sort

lolol

I think it's ridiculous. Unless you're a cat.

Don't hold back bran. What do you really think?

Lol Yeni!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, sorry but you asked what we thought. If I heard someone called that I think I would probably start laughing. sorry.

it's a name for a dog or cat

Otherwise known as Kentigern ... and, according to Wikipedia, Hugh Grant's middle name. The things you learn.

Awful

Sounds like one of those daft names that really really upper class people have

Why do you associate 'daft' with upper class....?

Would you also, for another name, say "Sounds like one of those daft names that really really working class people have"??????

I am not English, so have never understood the class thing, but I find it potentially quite hurtful to some people.

Its ok not to like a name. But to 'critise' (and call it daft) because it belongs to a certain class is a little surprising.

I like it but I think other people do regard me as daft . I think it gets the sort of reaction that my non daft friend got when she called her ds Oscar 15 years ago.

Oh I love Mungo.

Also love Sholto, Jago and Cosmo.

DH doesn't

no. has mary and midge connotations here too i'm afraid.
i do still have hangups from being called crystal tips though, so i may be biased.
