Ptolemy???

[SpangleMaker]

Found out today we are having a boy

DH has suggested calling him Ptolemy... at first I thought he was joking but now the name's really growing on me and we're seriously considering using it. Trouble is, we're not mega posh & the kid will be going to a state school.

So what do you think? Acceptable in this age of weird names, or are we being mean to the poor child?

Whatever the OP went with in the end, he'll probably be at school by now...zombie thread or what?!

Oooh I'm sorry I think it's really really pretentious. Possibly it's because of the silent P, I don't know.

WHY??? What do you like about it?

Goes hand in hand with Persephone, both with questionable references imho. Why associate a child with war or the underworld??

I'm nosey and bored so did a search. She saw sense and called him Harvey.
