Could I live with myself if I named my kid TinTin?
The name's slightly different in Icelandic (Tinni).
I've already got a terrier, albeit a dark one but since the kid should be dark haired anyway it'll work out just fine.
Watcha think?

no way
think of a proper name like peter or john
:cool:
Or the Icelandic versions - Petur & Jon.
Which means "One from Finland".:p
Tinni i think is acceptable, you can get away with that as its not immediatly related to a young boy who goes on adventures with a little white fluffy dog, its Scandanavian with is cool and he can appear cosmopolitan. :yes:
Haha...
Crack open a tinni mate... down by the creek.
Actually, TinTin sounds really strange, much like being named JohnJohn.
TinTin is a cool guy though. Quagmire is not.
Sorry
Kids are bleeding cruel enough as it is, don't give em more ammo...

If kids are going to bully someone they can easily enough find the ammo needed. A "common" name is no barrier to them. Been there.

And yeah, we have a naming committee. It's bloody ridiculous. Elias is banned on the grounds it doesn't look Icelandic enough, but they allow Harry which is less Icelandic. :chin: Oh, and the name Hilarious with a slightly more Icelandic spelling but means it's pronounced the same as in English is permitted. The word is meaningless in Icelandic. Not sure what the point of the committee is.
I can put two names together and together their meaning is "boy for sale" or another combination would be "ugly boy". It's definitely not the kids they're protecting. :thumb:
*(seriously, a couple in Germany some years back tried to give their kid a name with many letters and no vowels)
