girl or boy?

atigercametotea · 06/05/2009 15:25

maybe not............

BaldBabyBlackBeard is much better!

Hassled · 06/05/2009 15:25

Sorry, but you're insane. Redbeard is way too 70s - have you considered Bluebeard?

What are sibs' names? They need to match of course. And what about initials?

Kathyis6incheshigh · 06/05/2009 15:28

Bluebeard is nice but I know loads of little Bluebeards - at least Redbeard is more unusual.
If he doesn't actually have a red beard when he grows up he can always henna it. Or do a lot of piratical fighting so it is dripping with blood....

What ye think about Barbarossa then?

What is the name of your ship? Eg Captain Redbeard of the Black Pig would sound silly.

Not keen on Redbeard. How about beardedclam or scruffyblackwithflecksofgreyfortheloveofchristpleasetrimyourfannybeard?

KAEKAE · 07/05/2009 15:54

Perhaps gingerbeard?

Peachy · 07/05/2009 16:06

Surely you should be looking along the lines of Son-O'- redbeard / Son-o'-grey-beard, or indeed as we tastefully selected, son-o'potbellied-geek-with-trekky-tendencies-and-a-goatie-beard

I do find a very useful name though is son-o'-dad-o'-redbeard; by the time your average villager has worked that one out you can pillage an entire hamlet

HellHathNoFury · 09/05/2009 19:25

I really don't like it.

It makes me think of a pirate.

Sorry.

Oh my goodnes - I haven't laughed so much in a good while...

The " what is the name of your ship" was brilliant. Kathyis6incheshigh - I like your style.

But what if he wants to be an accountant or civil servant?
Personally I prefer Colin.

savoycabbage · 13/05/2009 03:51

If it's a girl you could have Santa like Santa Palmer-Tomkinson to keep the beard theme.

Perhaps you could have Colin as a middle name just in case but not for his first name as he might be picked on if his name is too different.
