I very occasionally see a little boy called Diesel in our local supermarket. He has pierced ears and tramlines in the bits of his hair that aren't gelled into spikes! He also wears a leather jacket and knows more swear words than I do.

So that's my experience of Diesel. It's not great I'll admit.

If you want something mechanical, you could go for Axel . Diesel, not for me.

janeiteisFedUp · 06/03/2010 15:14

Please, please tell me you're joking? I'm sorry but it is absolutely bloomin awful.

NO

at thesecondcomings post followed by SOH.

I like unusual names, but not keen on diesel

MiraMoreVino · 06/03/2010 15:47

too busy laughing to tell you what i think

Pitbull guard dog at the stables is called Diesel.

ellesabe · 07/03/2010 16:36

I think of jeans

MmeLindt · 07/03/2010 16:38

The stuff you put into cars to make them go.

MmeLindt · 07/03/2010 16:39

LOL at SOH and secondcoming XP

Are you thinking about naming your child Diesel or do you know someone who has?

If the former then I implore you not to.

What if he turns out to be a vegan poet with piano-playing hands who loves going on cruises and going to the opera...

notsoteenagemum · 07/03/2010 17:46

I think it is dreadful.

5DollarShake · 07/03/2010 17:49

Great name for a type of fuel.

Dreadful name for a human being. Absolutely awful.

ILoveGregoryHouse · 07/03/2010 17:51

Ehhhhh. No.

SOH and secondcoming - same Diesel?
