Aslan, for a boy - discuss

[LetThemEatCake]

as in the continent?

odd I say

I would think major Narnia freak...and a bit 'celebrity try hard' tbh.

as in The Lion, The Witch and the wardrobe

i say Nay ...

not Asian

ASLAN

Turkish for Lion. Also the name of the Great Lion in the Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis

No

No

What's to discuss?

It's a bold and fabulous choice I think.

But I'm weird.

I love it. Might use it if i have another son.

It does go rather well with Phoenix and Cassian doesn't it.

Aslan.

Aslan.

Hmmm.

I have read those Naria books about 75 times since the age of 10. At least I'm not suggesting Reepicheep.

Awful

I know plenty called Arsalan

Pregnancy does strange things to you, for a while when pregnant with dd I toyed with calling her Celeste

it is appalling. its a LION who represents Christ ffs. Caspian maybe.

Not sure about Caspian, but Casper is a brilliant name IMHO

Don't be naughty, LetTheEatCake - you know people will rise and someone will actually do it and it will BE ALL YOUR FAULT!

nononononononono.

NO.

Not for me, sorry.

But it's an actual NAME. A turkish name, meaning Lion. That's why CS Leiws called his lion Aslan, so it wouldn't be like naming your child after Christ/ an imaginary Lion whatever.

And even if it were, how is it any different from Jesus?? hey? hey??

Well, I love Narnia as much as the next CS Lewis fan, and there are definitely names from the books I'd use, but not Aslan. Or Shasta. Or Peepicheek. Or Trumpkin.

Aravis is nice for a girl, though.

I tried to think of a name that nobody would like to start a thread with - Roger. But people liked it. That was when I decided to jump off a cliff.

Cliff...now there's a name you don't hear much these days......

No. Too liony. ROOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR

Well it fit with your other names, one being close to the Prince Caspian.. so yeah do it.

As for Cliff etc, perhaps Norman?..

does
