Fidel?

[Miss K]

Friend of mines name is Fidel and to be honest I have never once thought of calling him fiddle or anything... His is pronnounced Fid-elle

I like it

[smiles4u]

Che reminds me of a Chinese word i spoke when travelling China, the word is pronounced Che Che meaning 'thankyou', i have to say i loved saying it as it sounded pretty

How about Fedel instead Fidel ? I use to know an Italian family and their surname was Fedel, reckon that sounds fantastic

[Cassius2]

i like both! i reckon they are both keepers and choose when you look at bubs and see what would suit them better!

Wasnt fedele the surname of Sara-Marie on big brother? Thats more off putting than any Cuban connection IMO lol

I hope our kids do know who both Che and Fidel are! Our education system is supposed to be getting better, not worse. It's a bit like saying everyone will have forgotten Mao, Hitler, Atilla, Saddam, Bin Laden, Pol Pot, etc. Some might be forgotten by some people, but not in the next hundred years for a lot of people. I certainly hope not, anyway.

Regardless of whether anyone else knows, does it bother you and your family to have that name association?

I hope so too!

DD2 was going to be Nikita until the Polish in laws stepped in.

I love Che - the revolutionary connotations are strong and that is pretty cool!

LOVE Atila too. If we have a son I want to name him Amadeus <3 <3
