Me and the missus are going mental trying to name our new boy. We have a short list but are spinning our wheels (Mountain King 2.4's) at the mo, so help us out as he'll be two days old tomorrow.
Joe
Jude
Leo
Frank
Last name Schofield, sister called Esther.
son we couldn't work out what to call you so we asked some strangers on a bike forum
i take it you didn't run this past the wife
my vote goes for Titus
Titus Schofield
Joe Schofield, cool as p1ss!
My vote is Joe
Phillip?
Yeah, Joe Schofield....could be anything from a city high flyer to a gangster.
Joe.
polly
😀
Jude, theres loads of Joes
but whatever there all nice names for the little fella 😀
What about
JAKE SCHOFIELD
Of those Joe - jude is awful
When I was a kid I would have given anything for a monosylabic tough sounding name
all rubbish, call him
Digby Thundercracker Schofield
he'll thank you for it one day!
Frank. A proper man's name.
Probably drink real ale and ride singlespeed with a name like Frank.
Jude and Leo are horrendous!
Re-think...those extra hours of thought could mean a lot to the litle chap.
I agree, Frank.
I also like Sammy & Dean
I Mrs Sinatra has a lad he will be Stanley, you know where you are with a name like Stan.
Sue.
A boy named Sue.
or
Isenbard Dehavilland Schofield
Mohammed.
Muhammad.
multiple choice tests round our way were always called ''vote for joe''
could be something in that...
but call him joseph, to give him the choice!
I love the name William...looks good as a signature or on a letter
But is also able to be shortened to Billy..which is cool.
+1 for Joe
(TJ and FC have just potentially infuriated parents of Judes and Leos on here...)
George? Shortened to Doddie round here
Singletrack edit facility Schofield.
Me and Mrs Conks reckon Joe is the best option.
Agree with brack if we're coming up alternatives. I also like Robert as it also has loads of variables{sp} Rob, Robbie, Bobbie, etc
Sutton?
Studley Ramrod Schofield, it's gotta be the only one me thinks!!
^ btw, congratulations.
Frank. A proper man's name.
Does that explain the joke which I never understood about one lezzie saying to the other, "Right, I'll be frank with you" ?
Joefield Dolgellau Joey Jojo Shabadoo Schofield?
A proper name to be proud of is that.
You need a name that will never invite ridicule at school
A name that clearly demonstrates the kids an evil ****er that shouldnt ever be messed with or ridiculed
A name that commands respect
I suggest....
.......... Saxon
scuttler - Member
so help us out as he'll be two days old tomorrow.Joe
Jude
Leo
Frank
i'm afraid none of them,
obviously he doesnt fit any of those, otherwise you would have bitten the bullet already,
back to the drawing board??? 😀
joe, great name
Tyson.
Jude......I like it.
Freddie
Frank off the list
Tarquin - could be a long shot 😉
If you are into j's what about juan... But expect the name never to be said properly
or jean-françois
julien
Not Joe or Leo. For the rest of his life he'll be asked, "Is it short for Joseph?" "Is it short for Leonardo?" Also, I would guess that once this cycle of recession is over the trend for laddish middle class pseudo-prole chic will be over and names like Tarquin, Cedric and Aloysius will be in vogue once more.
Personally, I'd go for Blofeld. Blofeld Schofield. Or, in the spirit of Johnny Cash/Shel Silverstein, Sue.
[i]But expect the name never to be said properly [/i]
How do you say it? 😉
Joe - goes well, but quite common
Frank - my middle name and had the piss ripped out of it all my life.
I'd go for something more unusual (quite obviously as my son is called Lydon) but of your list Joe goes best.
What about Aaron Schofield? We were gonna name our boy Aaron but MrsDezB had a student she didn't like called it.
Still seems a bit odd that random strangers on the internet would name your kids!
Please not Joe, it is so 'common'. It is also a contraction of Joseph so he will be starting off life without a proper name poor lad. What about Jebediah?
Or Seth, or Stephen!!! or Maximillian. Now that's a good name, a name fit for an Emperor!
[i]Maximillian. Now that's a good name, a name fit for an Emperor![/i]
By that token Caligula should be in the running. Or Barbarossa.
Tom.
It's a name that works when you're 5 and 85. But do name him Thomas, and let his shorten as he wishes.
And it's better than George*.
No family names to go at? Tom, John and William all feature in my and Mrs North's families, so any boy we have will get one of those.
What about biblical names? There's a thing for old testament names right now (I work with a chap whose kids are respectively: Issac, Noah, Jonah, Joshua, Benjamin - the sixth (bound to be a bouy) is on its way next week). I'd stop at Metheusalah, though.

*Mrs North is called George (christined Georgina), and exhorts all paresnts to be to call their child George, whether a boy or a girl. She's had a remarkable amount of success, too.
