Hunter Desmond David Dinnigan c*ks "family sources said in naming her longed-for son, Dinnigan has honoured her father Desmond, who is in poor health." WDYT? I cant help but think that Hunter will be known as a cck hunter... Chickens of course

Hunter Cocks? It was always going to be difficult with a last name like that, but I think Hunter sounds particularly awful.

I think I would have insisted he be named Hunter Dinnigan. I mean really.

I dislike the name hunter. I especially dislike hunter matched with that surname. I was expecting something more romantic and opulant from Colette. Similar to her fashion. Something I love but would never have the balls myself. It's funny the impression we get from celebrity baby names. Often very unpredictable but I guess we forget their is another half in the equation to please. This post has been edited by Oriental lily: 07/11/2012, 05:18 PM

Well you can tell she isn't a member of EB. Had she posted that in the baby naming section she might have changed her mind. I really expected more from her.

QUOTE (Ferdinand @ 07/11/2012, 06:17 PM) a bit about 3 D middle names - I get the first and last, but why add in David? QUOTE The baby boy arrived weighing in at four kilograms, in a ‘‘really surprisingly, fabulously normal delivery’’ with his proud dad, Bradley cks, and big sister, Estella, waiting close by. His second name, Desmond, is a nod to Dinnigan’s Irish yachtie father, Des, while his third name, David, is after Bradley’s father.** Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/ba...l#ixzz2BWGSHaMS (My bold) I don't mind Hunter but I don't think it works well with the surname.

Hunter is the MN of my DS2, so obviously I love it. Having said that, I think its a particularly bad choice with the surname of cks. Can you imagine what teasing he will get in the playground? "Hey Hunter, are you a hunter of cks?". It makes Collette and her husband seem like they haven't fully thought out the possible ramifications/teasing possibilities of their son's name. I hope his surname will be hyphenated: Dinnigan-c**ks. That makes it (slightly) better. But, as I always say, its not my baby: they can call him whatever they like.
