Ds's name is REALLY cool. It leapt out at us, instantly perfect, and it suits ds down to the ground.

Do you think we can repeat that? Can we, hell. And at 38+5 we're kinda thinking we should, you know, get on with it. Just in case.

Anyone else got a similar headache?

Arlo?

ScorpiowithabigS · 29/03/2009 13:34

Although i suppose Arlo & Antero too similar.

phdlife · 29/03/2009 13:38

phdlife · 29/03/2009 13:47

ScorpiowithabigS · 29/03/2009 13:49

Ahh yes, some people say that, or Dexter's laboratory cartoon thing.

I still heart it

phdlife · 29/03/2009 13:56

yeah I wouldn't hate it

but don't you think the kids at school would spend 12 years calling him "Sex"?

I used to work with a Finn named Timo. Tero and Timo... well, I like it.

phdlife · 29/03/2009 14:01

Don't hate Timo, mloo, but not sure I could persuade dh. we both briefly liked Teijo (tay-o) (well that's the bastardised english pronunciation)

But then Tero, Teijo - don't you think it sounds a bit, Tweedledee/Tweedledum

Taio /Tayo is also Nigerian, I think. Gorgeous.

Nappy addict how many times have you posted that list?!

sophiesmummie · 11/06/2011 20:09

Nappy, that is a brilliant list. All really classic but not overused names - great list imo.

5DollarShake · 11/06/2011 21:05

RickGhastley · 11/06/2011 21:13
