Please dont name your child Banjo. Not only is it a musical instrument, but also a colloqulism (sp?) for a part of a penis. The teasing would be merciless.

I like Astrid and Claudia for a girl and Lucas for a boy.

BikeRunSnowflake · 04/01/2010 12:47

Seriously, not Banjo - stringed instrument, 80s choccie bar, penis....

FoxyRevenger · 04/01/2010 12:48

Banjo?? surely not!!!

I like Lucas best from your boy's list, and LOVE Astrid for a girl (but the husband doesn't like it boooo)

kimlouiseb · 04/01/2010 12:49

It depends on your surname but I like Lucas and Miles for a boy and Ines and Astrid for a girl.

I knew a lady on another parenting site who named her DD Banjo Elizabeth! This despite 100s of negative comments.

I like all the girls' names except for Luz. How about other versions of it - Lucy, Lucille, Lucinda?

Not so keen on Jarvis.

dizzydixies · 04/01/2010 17:55

Buckets, you and I must have been on the same forum at the same time - twas the final straw for me and one of the reasons I've never been back!

GladioliBuckets · 04/01/2010 20:32

LOL that and all the sparklies and pics that took minutes to appear every page refresh.

GingerbreadFolk · 04/01/2010 20:35

I like Hugo and Ines. Etta is really lovely.

Banjo is a no no, it's a part of a penis. I do very much like Django though.

loobylu3 · 04/01/2010 20:55

I like:

Hugo or Lucas for a boy
Claudia is lovely for a girl.

Horton · 04/01/2010 21:22

Lucas and Claudia are both lovely names.

emts · 05/01/2010 04:35

Haha ... thanks everyone!

Banjo hasn't the same connotations in Australia but good to know it has in the UK - off the list now no matter how much hubbie likes it.

Or just save it for a nickname to tease him about when he's older? My DS is Noah, called Nomo for short - he will not appreciate this aged 13 LOL.
