I have to agree, Dwayne is way down the bottom of my list and I can see why you had trouble choosing - you must have associations with sooooo many names, especially for boys!

You've got to think about so much and what it rhyme's with etc. Having the surname of Mann that too limited us. I originally wanted to call our first child Cole. How well what that have went? Maybe Spider would have been cooler. I am sure they will all love the names we have chose and why xxSusan Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445232725431784781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308635202411289169.post-23339217735958994922017-05-01T08:35:36.811+01:002017-05-01T08:35:36.811+01:00Ah, because of the shortened version I'd never...Ah, because of the shortened version I'd never thought of the two together 😌 When I named our eldest, we lived on a street with just 8 houses in it. In one house lived a family who didn't talk to anyone else. They also had two girls. Imagine my surprise a few months after the birth of my first child, when I realised that their eldest child had the same name - a fairly unusual one 🙈 Luckily she's 3 years older, but does go to the same school as mine! Annoys me slightly, probably annoyed them, but hey, it's done!Stephs Two Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592292485187553690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308635202411289169.post-88561319708837225502017-05-01T06:46:51.614+01:002017-05-01T06:46:51.614+01:00I was reading this thinking the whole time you'...I was reading this thinking the whole time you'd called him Dwyane (the worst name ever )! In a few years no one will ever make the link. We considered Dominic (which would be shortened to the same) but then it was that year with Dominic the donkey song and it put me off! <br />We spent weeks discussing names and only came up with one for all three of ours near the end, just before they were born. Trouble was I'm a builder and my wife is a teacher so there were lots of names we both discounted straight away! <br />Great post BTW.

I was livid, and really very hurt. Obviously that wasn't the reason we chose the name but it now always sits sadly at the back of my mind. She spoilt it a bit for me. Know what though - even if we had named him after Rowan Atkinson it really wasn't anyone's business. Lets hope your Donald makes as much of a positive impact on the world as that overtanned fool has made negative.
