Bamber

[meadowlarks]

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

Just looked up Bamber and it means "tree trunk" or a German nickname for a short fat person.

funny - I'm not sad. My taste doesn't exactly enjoy popular approval on MN, I'm used to it

What's the message title?

scurryfunge - Really? Haha. I don't really care about meanings anyway.

It is probably due a revival

I think tree trunk, in a solid, dependable kind of way

Not on this planet.

ML, my name choices deffo do not attain public approval, hence the reason I never asked whether anyone liked Fabian or Raphael (Rafe for short). I knew everyone would go urrrrrrgh! Still they are my babies names, and I like them

LTBR - I think you've made your point.

It's not relevant, but PortiaNovmerriment there is new evidencethat Jeremy Bamber is innocent.

funny - Cheers

BTW ML, are you having a boy? When are you due? Boys are great

You'll never forget about that damned poinsettia will you?

What other names do you like?

Well, my favs right now are (excluding Bamber) Atticus, Eden and Teddy.

Well they're all better than Bamber.

I didn't like Atticus before but it's growing on me.

Eden I'd think of a girl's name but it could work for a man.

Teddy is cute for a baby/young boy but I don't think it works for a man,unless you'd put Edward on the birth certificate.

I think Teddy would be shortened to Ted for a man. Not keen on Edward, but I do like Edmund as a MN. And I know that Eden works on guys; I know one and it suits him really well.

I still like Bamber though I will prevail!

For your son's sake I hope not.

Stick with Atticus or Eden.They're much nicer.

hmmmm, Ted is great as is Atticus (what would you shorten it to?) Eden id nice too. I would have loved to use Nye, but Anurine is too much like urine...........

Atticus basically doesn't have a NN, the only one I could think of is Atty, which could catch on I suppose. I think I may just stop listening to other people, as there's never a consensus anyway.

Well there was one on Bamber.

I didn't think about Ted when he's an adult.It would work.

And Atty sounds fine to me.

Glad you like something Bamber is lovely to me, but maybe I'm just exceptionally weird.

That would explain it.

Bamber is fabulous! I demand that you go for it!

Otherwise, Atticus.
