Cameron baby name

[Gromit]

The Beckhams famously name their children after places they have stayed (Brooklyn and Rome(o)).

I notice the Cameron's have named their new baby Endellion, named after the place they are staying in Cornwall.

I thought that rather nice, but others think it is naff, so

Nice or Naff?

[missnemesis]

Most definately NAFF!

[fredpuli47]

Not as naff as it might appear. The place is Saint Endellion not Endellion. The village was named after a 6th Century Cornish saint, the daughter of a local king. The legend is that she had a dream that God was telling her to build a chapel on some rising ground where she next rested. That place is Saint Endellion.
The Cameron's were looking for a Cornish girl's name. Endellion must have seemed a happy choice given that there was a village near where they were staying which had a girl's name.

I used to know a bloke called Helston, he was also named after a place in Cornwall.... where he was conceived.
If I had called my children after their place of conception I would have two daughters called Leicester and a son called Freckleton.

I thjink her full name is lovely- Florence Rose Endellion (Cameron).Adding Endellion was a nice touch:)

[ttfn]

Nice. (I am a born mouthian without being named after the place of my birth ;o)

[R1Geezer]

Nice, as a 3rd name, would have been Naff if it was the first name.

so they've stayed in Florence? And drunk rose? (Sorry, I don't do accents.) I think three given names is too many; anotherr one and she'd be qulified to play cricket for Sri Lanka

That should take care of the Cornish vote , next time around

[janbee]

Definitely NAFF. If they wanted a Cornish name, what about M I V V Y ??

[Bbbananas]

Ooh - not Mivvy. That reminds me of a different thing altogether. Not appropriate for a baby.

I wish id thought of it when mini Boo was born, I could have called her Georgia Jericho, that's so cool!

[China Doll]

As names go, I don't think it's that bad.

Aren't you always telling me Gromit, not to believe everything one reads in the Daily Mail?

[jno]

'not believing everything' isn't the same as 'believing nothing', aog. Some stories in the Mail are reliable if they can be checked against other news soruces. Others, like the one you've just posted on overpopulation, are lies. Gromit posts the accurate ones. You fall for the lies.

Might have been worse: it could have been Piddletrenthide?

Or Bell End

[tigerlelly]

Isn't there a 'mountain' in Cornwall called Brown Willy?

Personally I don't like Florence as a name - and I think they buried the Cornish name by making it a 2nd middle name. For someone that is trying to say that he is just ordinary and like the rest of us, to give his children such upper class names is a bit naff. I know that these names would not have been upper class 70 or 80 years ago, but they are now.
