OK - yes I think of Basil Fawlty. But I think that John Cleese is a freaking genius so that's a good association LOL.

Couple of positives - it goes fantastically with your surname, and sounds pretty cool and edgy in a retro way. It's also a name that has a definite personality - one that I imagine that any child of yours would fit into beautifully.

Have you thought about spelling it Bazil? That way it's got the nickname built in. Or do you prefer the traditional spelling?
