MadameCastafiore · 28/01/2009 16:17

Are you joking?

He would get called Pyrex!

SoupDragon · 28/01/2009 16:17

No.

Lizzylou · 28/01/2009 16:17

Erm, no

Littlefish · 28/01/2009 16:18

No, they sound like medicine.

Divineintervention · 28/01/2009 16:18

There are nicer greek names.

MadameCastafiore · 28/01/2009 16:18

Pyrus is a type of Pear - so be done with it and call him William!

Salix is both a company that will help you reduce your carbon emissions and a type of willow tree.

TheInnocentBystander · 28/01/2009 16:19

No.

tengreenbottles · 28/01/2009 16:22

Reminds me of Prius, which is a car.
And I'm not really sure what Salix is, but I don't really like it, sorry. How about Silas instead?

Clattered · 28/01/2009 16:33

Both names are rubbish not to my taste.

Do not call your son Pie.

Watusi · 28/01/2009 16:36

Yes yes I see the tree thing you have going on

They are good names for trees

Not so hot on a baby

Watusi · 28/01/2009 16:38

tengreenbottles · 28/01/2009 20:17

oh and dont laugh at quercus ,because that was the first name she volunteered

OP posts:
tengreenbottles · 28/01/2009 20:17

we decided against fagus as it sounded too much like fagin!

Watusi · 28/01/2009 20:18

Well, hmm

I know where you are coming from

But think what it rhymes with

Cyrus! that's a bad name
and virus, even worse name

He would be called Pirate throughout primary school

but hey it's up to you

Watusi · 28/01/2009 20:18

Lol

Watusi · 28/01/2009 20:19

In fact, just for you

Bedtime reading
