when I fist say the thread title I immeaditly thought faulty towers or spaghetti bolognaise lol.....but then I really thought about it and I really like it. My friends Grandad was Basil and he was a lovley man too, so maybe the name has a bit to do with it!

I love Baz as a nick name. I would call my child Basil, but I know DH wouldnt like it
Its pretty tame compared to some of the names out there :P

I say GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!
