    Boys name 'Wesley' (Wes) Do you like?

    What do you think of Wesley as a boys name? We already have a Samuel and Oliver whom we call Sam and Ollie so were thinking Wesley... Wes..??

    No. I don't. Sorry, I don't think it goes with your other names.

    I think of it as an older man's name but they had to be babies at one time so while I don't love it, it is ok:

    No, I don't but that is due to knowing someone with that name whom I have little respect for......

    I have a good friend called Wes, who is awesome.

    Wesley however makes me think of the Princess Bride

    Oh Snacks...I was thinking the same thing about Star Trek but definitely not on the hottie verdict....he's prepubescent!! I'm sure he's 12...well he looks it!

    I've liked all the Wes's that I've ever met, if that helps!

    Princess Bride was Westley, not Wesley though (from memory). I'm a Yorkshire lass so the name puts me in mind of John Wesley first and foremost, who was a pretty fantastic chap by all accounts. As for TNG - that had Patrick Stewart in it. Wil Wheaton was never in with a serious chance next to the delicious Patrick.

    I like the name too.

    Yeah, but I'm pretty sure I was too when I first saw him, LOL.

    And FB, as for comparing Wil and Patrick. Well. I think we'd do well together. You can have Patrick and I'll take Wil. LOL!

    Sorry for the OT post I still think you should use the name!

    Ditto Snacks - that programme was first made 1988! It's ok to be a teenager and fancy a teenager. Even so, I'll still take Patrick.
