I love it. Unusual but not pretentious, charming for a DS and endearing for a man. Anyone else?

Gascoigne!!

I love Bamber Gascoigne actually, but that's not how I saw it. Apparently it's a family name.

I don't think it is that bad...unusual certainly but not hideous

Irishchic · 08/06/2010 23:41

Bamber - please, are you serious??

meadowlarks · 08/06/2010 23:46

Yes indeedy. Thanks for asking

No, I don't like it. It makes me think of Jeremy Bamber the family annihilator. Sorry.

Irishchic · 08/06/2010 23:48

Sorry but I think you are trying too hard here. It is neither charming nor endearing, just plain odd.

LetThereBeRock · 08/06/2010 23:49

Bamber? Bamber? What hallucinatory substance have you been ingesting?

LOL come on, it's not that bizarre. At least it's not totally invented, or backwards.

LetThereBeRock · 08/06/2010 23:53

Yes it is that bizarre and bloody awful too.

Well it is.

Irishchic · 08/06/2010 23:56

Meadowlarks aren't there any other names that take your fancy?

meadowlarks · 08/06/2010 23:58

Well, yes, plenty. But I just ask as I go along.

LetThereBeRock- I sent you a fb message- can you check it?

funnysinthegarden · 08/06/2010 23:58

ML, don't be sad, and you did ask.......There are loads of lovely names out there that are not Bamber....

HelenFF · 08/06/2010 23:59

Thought this was going to be a thread about Jamie Bamber from BSG/Law & Order. Disappointing

I'd say it's ok but I only know it as a surname.

LetThereBeRock · 08/06/2010 23:59

Get a cat/dog/goldfish and call it Bamber. At least it won't hate you when it realises that it's been named Bamber.

Now what other names do you like? There must be others.
