Suggest a boys name

Nothing really these days would provoke that, short of actual stupid names. There is a fair bit of variety, outside of all the boring "top" names of course and the 15 Jack, Liam, Olivers and Noahs in every class. :cry:

You could name him Francis Gaylord, he would get stick for the first name and it would give him the challenge to never reveal his middle name.

Got to make sure you spell it in a "unique" way so it's truly special. Lee-am, Noa, Olvr. Top stuff.
 
Ernest, a serious suggestion.

Any suggestion which you have to write 'a serious suggestion' after probably isn't a great one :p

Not that I have anything against the name Ernest, although it is old fashioned which could be a good or bad thing depending on who you ask.

:cry: child forever explaining how their name is spelt.

O/T a bit I’ll agree, but “explaining spelling” reminded me of an incident in the U.S. some years back.
Four of us guys had rented a pool home in Clearwater FL and one, Dave Heal, took some trousers to a dry cleaner.
The clerk asked his name and he said, “Heal, H E A L”, the guy wrote down Heil, Dave said, “No, H E A L”
They guy said irritably, “I’ve put H E I L.”
It turned out that when Dave said A, the clerk heard I, probably some vagary of Brit speech sound or Yank hearing.
A bit like when I queried them saying Los Vegas instead of Las Vegas, an American said, “You’re hearing Los, but we’re saying Las, but we say it like Lahs.
