Inigo - too poncy?

[Doctorskidaddle]

I really like it - DH thinks it's ridiculous and poncy. Is he right? Eek feel nervous now that you're all going to agree with him

I love it
It is a bit poncey I agree but I still love it

ooh really countess? I am ridiculously chuffed by just one positive reply. Please keep them coming and I will show this thread to convince him!

(FYI he likes unbelievable ridiculous names such as Mowgli (yes really) and Reef (not even a name)

oh is there an evil Inigo in some great work of literature or something?? I only know about Inigo Jones

I've always secretly fancied it - after Inigo Jones the architect

if the choice is between Mowgla, Reef, or Inigo, then I'd go for Inigo.

however, I wouldn't choose it myself - the kids at school would call him Indigo

Inigo Montoya - 'The Princess Bride'

i can think of worse nicknames than indigo though!

but indigo is my favourite colour

he doesn't sound too bad lionstar - isn't it OK to kill someone if they killed your father (not legally of course, but morally?)...

I love it. If I had a son I'd call him Inigo.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!

Can't resist it. What a film.

A vote for it here!

Oh Reality!! You beat me to it.

Fuffing LOVE that film.

BTW unless you're Spanish, no way.

I like Inigo. It is on my fanatsy baby names list. Not that i would ever use it as surname is Jones, but still.

It's a lovely name

I only know Inigo Jones too! Great name.

Also immediately thought of the Princess Bride. Everyone of our age will.

I have to say I think its unfair to give a child a name like that. He'll forever be asked to repeat his name and everyone will think its indigo. Don't do it.

Inigo is a lovely name and Inigo Jones was a great name. It's on my list for any future possible Ds! Sadly, DP hates all boys names except Jacob, so...

It's the name of a bar near me, that would put me off personally. Assume you don't live near Clapham though so it probably won't matter!

I really like it!! do live a bit near clapham though so that's it ruled out for me!!

Honestly, I was thinking earlier that I like the name Ines for a girl, and then thought of Inigo and thought yeah that's not too bad.

DH would be having none of it, however! He only likes the names Elizabeth and James .... sigh....

I like it.

ooh more yeses than no's I think - i feel encouraged...

scorpette - think I will take a leaf out of your DP's book and tell DH that I have gone off all boys' names except Inigo - do you think it will work?

stripes - I'm not Spanish but everyone thinks I look Spanish and I have spent many years living in Spanish-speaking countries - does that count?

Also like Ines crumpette - maybe if she's a girl...

crumpette?????????

toast? pikelet? muffin?

No to Inigo BTW. My name is Inigo Montoya.....

Would you pronounce it Inigo or Inigo? TBH the 'nig' part makes me feel a bit icky. lus the first (anglicised) pronunciation sounds like in 'e goes...

kat - would pronounce it Inigo

I think you are the first to slightly put me off it with your 'in he goes' though!!

Inigo, and outigo again.

Christ no. One of the ponciest names I have ever heard.
