Harpo-and it's already been 'done' so as to speak.

[thesecondcocking]

some FoF's have named their 3rd son Harpo-i think it's really really tight and the other 2 got off lightly!
is it just me?

i thinkk it's a cool name.
waht does "tight" mean in this context?

is this one of those, "let's all slag off someone;'s newborn baby" threads? if so i'm off

What does 'tight' mean- do you mean you don't like it? If they admire Harpo Marx then I can see why they did it-my ds's are named after men I admired. It's very unusual in this country.

tight is a northern word meaning 'a bit mean' i don't think i am slagging off someones newborn baby-i am sure he's a nice baby but it's a bit 'out there' isn't it?

i
like
it.

Erm...it's a bit of an odd one. What are their other sons called???

can he play the harp?

cos he'll have to now

first one is oscar,second is monty and then baby Harpo..

I thought tight meant ungenerous ( with money, usually) in northernspeak, rather than unkind. I must've been away too long.
( sorry to hijack thread).

I thought ' toilet cleaner' when I saw the name but that was Harpic, wasn't it? No similarity

Up with sick child, made me think of Groucho.

Isn't that the name of Oprah's production company/charidee/world domination programme?

Well each to their own, but I can't help but think "poor sprog"

I immediately think of Oprah too but it's not a terrible name.

It's Oprah spelt backwards.

What do you mean by "it´s already been done"?

Made me thinkof Harpo Marx-isn´t it a nickname?

Harpo was a pathetic wife-beater in The Colour Purple (the husband of the character who Oprah played in the film, interestingly). It's not a bad name, per se, but it did make me think of that link immediately.

yes diddl it was a nickname cos he played the harp

I like it. And I like the other 2 kids names too. Oscar, Monty and Harpo sounds fine to me......
