A rather poetic choice for a newborn, non?

Your kids are right!

Ah, my grandad's name... I love it but DH is having none of it!

What about Nigel?

MrsMerryHenry · 25/03/2009 15:39

Why are you so obsessed with Nigels? There are plenty more fabulous names out there for girls. Such as Barry - thought of that?

KAEKAE · 25/03/2009 16:26

I agree it sounds like perving and it also reminds me of the name Merlin and that in turn reminds me of a wizard!

I think he might have problems with it in the playground.

I know a Mervyn and he is HYSTERICAL, a nicer man you could not meet

MrsMerryHenry · 25/03/2009 17:10

ROFL screaming: well, it's got 'a man' in it, so it really ought to be a boy's name!

Brian - now there's a name for a poet. Brian Keats. Brian Wordsworth. Brian Shakespeare.

SobranieCocktail · 25/03/2009 17:13

How about Marvin?

MrsMerryHenry · 25/03/2009 17:15

ROFL! If it weren't for Mr Gaye it would be truly unbearable. Sadly even he couldn't make it cool, though.

moondog · 25/03/2009 17:19

No
It's an old Welsh man's name.
