I would sooner poke my eyes out with a sharp stick than name my child....

[binker]

Kyle
Ellie
Jaden/Jayden
Chanelle
etc etc... and apologies if you have called your child any of the above
I put Ellie because a squillion little girls are called that.
Freya is a nice name but there are so many now - it really turns me against such names,no matter whether they are nice

Dudley Moore was married to a girl called Brogan

Methusela - another goodie from the Bible.

Or Ham or Shem.

My daughter names most of her toys Boris, haven't a clue where she heard it first.

plug

(Actually I quite like Shem, thinking about it)

yawn. as usual ds's name is on this thread. once again YAWN.

because his name shapes who he is right?

no matter he's a wonderfully kind, caring, sensitive child who tries hard despite his learning difficulties, that he has manners and blah blah blah etc.

oh and bolleux.

I like the name Brogan a lot

I like Ezekiel but Dh forbade it. We both liked Gabriel but Mum threatened to disoen us (we did live on quite a rough estate at the time so probably not the kindest)

nightown is your son called methusela?

ignore it, its silly and shallow. convert it to a names I like thread (or pick ridiculous names nobosy actually has had for many millenia

It actually would have already appeared to have turned into a names we like thread somewhere around the potato varities

Kipper Nightowl as a certain ring to it as well! As you say it suits you and him, and that s all tha matters

i have a friend called plug

no

i know yes...sigh...oh to be so shallow.

actually called plug, or is it a nickname?

i love harvey too but my mate nicked that one already

What do you think of the name 'Fenton' (it's ok I don't have any close relatives called this, just wondered what you thought)

Sounds more like a surname than a first name

i quite like it

nightowl dont worry i dont think allgonebelly up (if that is who it was) realises how offensive it is to mock other peoples names. Especially from the smug safety of all those hugos, felixs, archies, charlies, harrys that are around here. And im not saying i dont like these names its just that it doesnt make you or your children better if they have them!!

HMC for me it reminds me of someone I dont like so its ahrd to see above that BUT I cant think of anything bar that worng with it at all.

It think that with some surnames Fenton risks sounding like a rather nice village in the cotswolds.

So Fenton Lee, or Fenton Downs.

Nice places, probably have a duck pond and ecentric Village Post mistress

I've said this before and I will reiterate A) that she' OK and B) that I like the name, its sweet but I go to college witha Strawberry Fields Forever

beat that LOL

lol at martianbishop.

It is a first name - more popular in the US. I briefly considered it for ds but went for a different name in the end.

True. there is a potteries town called Fenton. maybe if you were doing a beckhams thing and naming your kids after where they were conceived then it could work.
