DP wants child to be called

[thenamegame]

He thinks it would be brilliant. The surname is "Dix". Your comments please...

Sorry, seems my mind is as bad as everyone elses.

Think I will lie in a darkened room now.

Pia Dix will be right out too!

Drug him, knock him out with sleeping pills or something and go get the name registered on your own! Don't include him at all! Good grief -Dizzy Dix

How about Desmond? If you say it fast enough with a drunken slur it could approximate Dizzy.

With such an unerring ability to scar his children for life, there is no way your dh should be allowed anywhere near the registrar's, tbh.

lol @ the troll

say you prefer Dodgy Dix or Maximus Dix and won't hear of anything else.

Then eventually compromise on Charles.

Maximillilan Dix

Twix Dix

Lix. Straight to the top of the no list.

Dizzy Gillespie's real first name was John, if that helps (not sure if it does with Dix as a surname).

how about Gillespie?

Shame about Felix, though, I really like that name

Felix Dix would be awsome

sorry, you must get fed up of all of this sort of things

Maximus Dix would be good too

Do you think Dizzy is short for something? Maybe there is a longer, more normal name, and Dizzy could be a nickname??? I'm being soft now aren't i?

Dizzy is short for Disco

Disco Dix

You can decide to adopt Dizzy as a nickname for any name if you like. I mean you could take any name beginning with D or which has a second syllable beginning with D and call him Dizzy for short. It either catches on or it doesn't.

Does it have to be a name beginning with D?

Tell him that you have to christen the child with a decent name and that he can call it whatever he likes when it arrives but at least it will have a proper name to fall back on.

My dp refers to our dd as 'Widge' all the time, as this is his nic-name for her but at least she has a real name too!

How about Disraeli Dix and then DP can nickname him Dizzy if he wants

Really don't think i could face Disraeli. Agree, that Dizzy could just be a nickname regardless of given name.

Right, good. That's something to tell him!

Give the child a name to live up to. Do you want him to grow up as a ziggy or dizzy, or a disraeli or mandela?

ROFLMFAO at Zippy Dix....reminds of some poor bloke getting his whatsits jammed in his zip - excruciating, by all accounts

OK so greensleeves has posted, so it's not her then, I wonder who could this be.........ermmmmm

Flora?
