is it cruel?

[boatingbaggy]

had DS 3 weeks ago and still not named him. we keep coming back to Jonathan Thomas but would this be to cruel. others in the mix are Louie and Albert.

Yes, Jonathan Thomas would be v cruel! They are all lovely names though

i must be really thick. why is jonathan thomas cruel?

I'd choose his first name first, then pick a middle name to go with it (and yes, John Thomas would be cruel). Does he look like a Jonathan? Is that your favourite name? What about Jonathan Louie, or Jonathan Albert?

booyhoo, John Thomas is a slang term for a penis.

is it an english term for it? i am in nortehrn ireland, i have never heard that.

Unless you are going to call him Jonathan and not shorten it he will be destined to have a life full of ridicule from his friends - sorry!

I have a Jonathan who has elected to call himself Jonny. You can't stop him choosing what he wants to be called.
If you really like Jonathan why not have Louie second.
We thought about Thomas for our DS but it would have made him the third Thomas M.in his class, so we were glad we changed our minds. Jonathan is not as popular- just has a steady following.

It's not an English expression afaik - I'm in Scotland and it's a well enough known slang term here

It is cruel, yes.

Lovely names but not together, no.

Louie is nice. Not personally keen on ALbert, but perfectly good name.

Both nice-BUT -not together!

john thomas= slang for penis.so be like calling your baby prick

Yes, it's cruel. You can't do it to the poor little sod!

My cousin has called his new baby John Thomas after both grandfathers. They are American though, I guess it's not much used over there. I knew it before I moved here, not sure how, but my mom had no idea. We decided not to enlighten them, they're in the middle of the country and likely to stay so probably will never be an issue for the kid. I have a quiet snigger every time they post something on facebook though.

Very cruel. Don't do it!

I think it's from 'Lady Chatterley's Lover', which might explain why it's lesser known in the States.

For the love of all that's good and holy.

Please do not name your child Cock. You don't need to be told that's cruel!
