So... I SHOULDN'T change my name to Slartibartfast?

Hmm, tough one there... I'm really not sure if it would match your glasses... and then there's the hair.. I think it might be too dark... and short... and not grey and dead enough.. hmmm..... 
Though I love how the voice in my head pronounces it as slutty bar fest....

slutty bar fest... LOL 

Some MTF's come up with names that make me go Hmmmm    But as long as they're happy... Well okay 

I'm up for a slutty bar fest.  Anyone coming?

I knew an mtf who seriously wanted to make her middle name Waffles. She said she thought it suited her.

Well, I believe Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom and Little Pixie are natal women...

Just watched this Jeremy Kyle episode on the itvplayer. It wasn't a particually detailed story, just seemed like they needed something with shock value to fill in the time at the end of the show. Basically a bisexual girl was in a hetro relationship until her boyfriend turned out to be MTF. Then she started a lesbian relationship with a girl she knew until the girlfriend turned out to be FTM.

Yeah the guy did not look like a Ronaldo, and to dissapoint no_id he didn't have a posh accent. Seemed chavvy, like most people who go on The Jeremy Kyle Show.

Bring it. 

I just watched it on ITV Player. Man, he is TALL!
And definitely doesn't suit the name Ronaldo.

Rowan seems to be 2000 onwards. I would have never questioned it though. I assumed it was an older name.

The name is at least as old as Rowan Atkinson--aka Mr. Bean.

What do you guys think of the name Edsel? I saw it on this miniseries about Henry Ford...it was his son's name.  He named a car after him after he died and it failed miserably because the grille supposedly looks like a vagina.  I think thats fitting!

I kinda want it as part of my name.

Isn't the Edsel like... notorious for being one of the ugliest cars ever made?

Having grown up with an oddly spelled birth name, I know that while it seems unique and fun at the time, it can actually be a pain in the butt when people consistently mispronounce or misspell your name.

I know, right?
My mother decided to misspell a relatively normal (though unused for my age group). Or maybe my dad did it. I don't care. Either way it's getting changed, because there is no way i'm keeping 'gwyndallyn' for too long. 
[yeah. she must think we're in the 1800s or something]

When people can't pronounce it or spell it with any accuracy, it's time to rethink.

Edsel's one that, if I didn't know the back story, I'd assume was an older girl's name. It's sort of reminiscent of Ethel. Also, the car was hideous and Ford was a Nazi.

It's up to you, but I wouldn't want it anywhere near my name.

Yeah Ford was a nazi and he was a total ->-bleeped-<- to Edsel and treated him really badly.  I feel sorry for him.  And I know the car is meant to be really ugly, but I think it's cool.

I just have an underdog thing I think.

LOL

Whatever powers your motorcoach, dude.

Maybe it's growing up watching all those old episodes of Black Adder and Mr. Bean that made me pick my name. Hmmm. Could be worse.

Completely forgot about him! I quoting 2000 onward from one of those baby name websites.

Did anyone else notice his chest?! He was obviously binding very badly as his breasts were dangling down near his stomach!

I just googled the Edsel. What are you guys talking about, it looks awesome. Kinda weird but I like that. There are much uglier cars out there. Fiat Multipla anyone?

Yeah I noticed, I guessed he wasn't binding at all and was just hanging loose.

Supposedly it looks like an "oldsmobile sucking a lemon" haha.  Poor old Edsel.  His father constantly reduced him to tears. 

That movie was crazy stuff.  But yeah, thinking out loud, I probably don't want a name with such a dodgy history.  Maybe the older version, Etzel.  And only for an interesting middle name. I don't want anyone to think I'm some sort of neo Nazi.
