Hendrix

[dirtyface]

for a boy

what do people think? it just came to me today

(btw am only 8+1 so a long way to go and obvs no idea what i am having yet :o )

[quoteunquote]

I know a twenty two year old and a five year old called Hendrix, both are really nice, great name.

I also know a couple of boys called Dury.

[TiredyCustards]

I wouldn't do it, but it's quite cool.

DH was dead set on Zappa for about a week.

[Meglet]

A big yes as a middle name.

Not sure if it's just a bit too much for a first name though.

[EsTutMirLeid]

No it's awful, sorry but if you must have it make it a middle name.

[Kaluki]

Ugh no!
Like the poster above said its trying too hard to be cool! It's like patsy and Liam calling their son Lennon - really naff!!

[Zoe789]

I prefer it to Henry as I'm so bored with those boring names, but even so I'd be embarrassed calling out Hendrix in Tesco. I'm too conservative in my appearance (not views!) but you have to be a bit quirky to get away with Hendrix. JMO

[mignonette]

Please, no.

[kelda]

I know three Hendricks.

[dirtyface]

yeah i was worried it might seem to try hard to be cool

we are fairly unconventional though :o

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Sorry, but I think it is terrible. It's the sort of name that 'celebs' who are trying to sound all 'way out and cool' would choose. Awful imho.

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

Oh give over.

[dirtyface]

nice jamie

no need to be spiteful :/

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

I was going for a jokey 1970's tone. Failed, obviously. Sorry

was it worse that - Ugh No! or Please No. Or it's awful?

[dirtyface]

aww s'ok

very bit over sensitive atm

yeah somehow it was worse than either of those :o

[Zoe789]

Dirtyface, the child isn't named yet!

Talk me through 'unconventional' though. Are you a potter? Do you live in a yert? Do you home school!?

[Zoe789]

x post! i'm joking here btw. I fear I'm conventional

[dirtyface]

erm no none of those zoe

i dont know how to say this without sounding pretentious

but we are quite rocky types and dh is a musician

[MortifiedAdams]

Id think youd seriously missed the gin while pg

[dirtyface]

posted too soon, meant to add>>

so i feel it would suit our family iyswim

our other dcs have quite uncommon names as well, and dd is named after a song

[forcookssake]

I think it's cool, but I think it suffers a bit by ending in 'x' - it reminds me of Jackson>>Jaxon and other 'modern' names
Also, future child would be forever saying "yeah, Hendrix, like Jimmy... yeah my parents thought he was cool..."
However, in a similiar vein, I've been thinking about Cohen

[Zoe789]

ah well then :-| go ahead!

Will we read it soon? Gwen Stefani's next baby is called Hendrix!

Hendrix goes with Kingston but not with Zuma.

[PeanutPatty]

Not for a child. Maybe a dog.
