what would you think if you met a boy called...

[motherbeyond]

Clark? it was my gran's brothers name,but dh just thinks of Superman,which has never really occured to me.We are reeeeally struggling to agree on a boys name.

i like Ruben,Hugo Xavier and Zander..he has vetoed them all. he likes oisin,i have vetoed that...im beginning to like the sound of veto!!
help please

I love Gregor.

But I do imagine he would not watch Tv until he was 7yrs old (and only then David Attenborough docunemtaries), he would only have wooden toys and transfats would never pass his lips.

Still love it though.

Love Hugo too. He would be less delictae than Gregor or Xavier though, and would live an almost ferral life in the large tree house and build go carts from the old silver cross prams and build dens and dams in the wood at the end of the garden.

I think most of us knew what Maggie meant, and don't imagine she actually laughs at kids with life treatneing illnesses or tried to kill her brother.

Or maybe she does and did.

Hugo is nice. Hugh is nicer. Clark isn't very masculine IMO

hugh is much gay er !!

I rather like Clark and I do not know of any so probably highly individual and I like that too.

But I like Yorke better!

Maxim to me is a magazine with nekkid girls.

Like Clark. Like Gregor.

Eoghan is not Owen. They sound alike, but Eoghan means Eugene.

Paddy MacPaddyson?

I think Paddy's a great name. Clark, I would say noooo. Gregor I like.

Oisin is a nice baby boy name -- I just can't imagine anyone over 5 being taken seriously with a name like Oisin. Owen, Eoin or Eoghan, on the other hand, I can imagine at various stages of life.

Have you considered Ronan? Killian /Cillian? Lorcan? Declan? Anton? There are loads of nice Irish names for boys that sound masculine and grown-up.

lockets my niece is Kitty so we can't have that one anyway but thanks for the warning.

maggie you have only dug yourself in deeper whilst 'apologising'.

And yes I probably did 'love' to talk about Rosie's excema- could be due to the fact that every fucker on the street stopped me asking questions about 'What had I done to her face?' and the fact that she didn't sleep for m ore than a few hours for a year, we spent many a night washing blood off her bedding/clothes and explaining why her hands were always covered up.

Clearly all in my imagination.

I thought Paddy McPaddyson was quite funny. When I was living in the UK I wouldn't have used anything 'ultra Irish' either. So I know what she means too, and I don't enjoy being offended .

ps, math, pop over to the NPD thread if you have a moment. It's been resserected. TRM's x has tracked her down and read her posts on the Irish forum so she can't post there for a bit.

well this was an interesting thread!i think i've decided against clark,for those of you who care!!!!

I think Clark was the best of the list. I hate Reuben, makes me think of a boy with skin like a pink meat sandwich.

I agree with Maggie about the allergy faking type. i know a few mothers like that. their children never have a cold, always a "chest infection".

lol @ pandavark and her Reuben comment!

< for TRM. Will pop over. Thanks Maggie>

My ds is called Alexander shortened to Xander and i promise he has no allergies and i'm not that precious
