What do you think of Neville as a boy's name?

Nev is a cool nickname though.

Thats was not a fascinator Hully, that was a hat (you twat).

Fantastic thing to wear to a wedding I thought. I bet you made the bride spit.

Another thing about Neville - he would not call people twat or moron!

mathanxiety · 10/05/2010 17:28

Never

Neville Longbottom is quite a dish now

lurverly ...

Gosh, he kind of is...

Neville was the wet one in 'Aufwiedersehen, Pet'.

KittyTwoShoes · 10/05/2010 19:38

Oh, I say. Neville Longbottom!

Call the child Neville and please may he grow up to look like him? Ta.

its a bit wet

My Dad's name was Neville and to be honest I would never use it for a child of mine, but to me it sums up my Dad. He was a Gentleman in the true sense of the word, kind, traditional, private and wonderful.

Glad I'm not the only one to think Auf Wiedersehen Pet

LilRedWG your description of your father has been added to my mental catalouging of Nevilles. He sounds like a lovely man

flopsy1974 · 11/05/2010 09:44

Horrible. Sorry.
Apparently Gary and Phil Nevilles Dad is called Neville Neville. How bad is that? Some kind of cruel joke by the parents I think?

LilRedWG · 11/05/2010 10:35

Thank you Psammead - he was indeed a lovely man.

Phlox · 11/05/2010 10:55

DH works for a man called Neville and he is a complete and utter twat. A really unplesant man.

However I would concede that Neville Longbottom is lovely, and Nev is a great nickname.

Horrible name. Would put it in the same category as Malcolm. A librarian who still lives with his Mum and has a crush on the next door neighbour.

I knew a Neville who was the opposite of pretty much all the impressions on this thread, but I still think it's one of those names that will die out. It's too 1930s.

mumoverseas · 12/05/2010 13:31

LilRed I'm so sorry but I dislike that name very much, no disrespect to your lovely dad.
I hate it as its my brothers name and (as you may recall) he is a complete arsehole.
