can i seriously call my little boy Django?

[sunshiney]

what do you reckon?

not to my taste!

How do you pronounce that then?

Well, if you like it, use it. It's your baby. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Oh yes it is wonderful! Do it!

you can call him what you like

It's Roman...'I awake'

really nice.

As in Django Reinhardt, the jazz musician?

Or Django Fett in star wars?

However I would suggest googling Django and see what comes up.

It isn't a name I would personally choose.

I know of one little boy called Django and his parents are quite a hippy couple! He must be about 10 now.

Obviously you can, but I really wouldn't. He's the one who's going to have to wear it for a lifetime. I feel it's one of those names that says a lot about the parents, but which is not likely to be easy to live with; hard to carry off. What if he's just totally not a Django?

I really wouldn't if I were you. It will cause him all kinds of difficulty. No-one will be able to spell it or pronounce it (well obviously some will but the majority won't).

I knew a Django, I rather like it, but he changed his own name to Ben!

I like it

D-J for short?

VictorHugo - surely not Roman? There are no dj- clusters in Latin. Romany possibly?
Anyway, OP - course you can, I think it's a nice sounding name, but if it were me, I'd avoid it purely because it's so associated with one particular famous person. A bit like when you meet jazz fans with daughters called Ella and Billie - lovely names, but somehow - IMO - not so special to those children because the tribute is so clear.

Yes, I think it's lovely. It sounds a really happy positive name I think.

Yes sorry Romany...

Love it!

It's what I would have been called if I were a boy.

On my theoretical list. (Think I'm having a gal.)

I really like it - but then I have also recently read 'The runaway dinner' by Allan Ahlberg and the little boy in that is called Banjo - I thought that was a fab name too!

My DSs live The Runaway Dinner. And The Pencil (also featuring Banjo and friends).

Love, not live.

yes it's lovely, and was my boy name.

I know a very cool teen Django, he doesn't get teased.

i love love love the name django - i want it for future ds but dh vetoed. i like it because of the film sweet and lowdown where the character emmet ray is always going on about django rheinhardt (sic)

dozens in brighton. like it.

I love it.

I think its quite cool..why not?

LOL at 'dozens in Brighton'.
Virtually none in Glasgow

But actually, I really like it.
