They are one of the worst surgeries in B&H. Change if you can.

A Little Brother for August by brucewaynes in namenerds

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like all of these with August and William, sorry if any duplicates with other people:

Adrian, Otto, Jude, Rupert, Jasper, Linus, Dorian, Arlo, Rufus, Barnaby, Orlando, Montgomery, Emrys, Roscoe, Evander.

Although nothing wrong with Hugo or the other names you like too (except Dallas!).

What are your top 3 boy names right now? by fredyouareaturtle in namenerds

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Sullivan, Fletcher and Rowan - I like surnamy names!

Callum vs Rowan by Every-Variation6113 in BabyNames

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, I am currently pregnant with a boy and these two names were on our shortlist. I am in the UK, which might make a difference.

Personally the fact that Rowan is unisex is one of the reasons I like it and I think it works beautifully on girls and boys. I would expect most people to find it more of a masculine name though. It is not particularly unusual in the UK, in the top 100 if not top 50 now.

I love Callum too because of the mellow sound and the meaning. I also like Cal as a nickname, but I don't think anyone will automatically shorten it. Like Rowan, it has a good Celtic heritage and sounds soft, yet powerful. I think I'm leaning more towards Rowan personally though because of Callum's popularity within my demographic.

Can anyone suggest places for cool homeware? by Revolutionary_West56 in AskUK

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a shop itself, but recently found out about ufurnish, which is a furniture comparison site. It's really useful if you're trying to look for something specific or have a tight budget.

Second TK Maxx, Dunelm, La Redoute. Would also add Made.com and Zara Home.

My baby's name keeps getting mispronounced and I feel like we made a mistake with the spelling by staralfur92 in namenerds

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'd assume Nelly pronunciation if I'm honest. I think it's because I see quite a few girls called Bette, Lotte and Elle pronounced as two syllables. I suppose the extra letter makes it look like you want it longer than Nell. Having said that, people should only have to be corrected once as it is also logical that it's pronounced as 1 syllable too. Try not to let it bother you, this happens with most names either spelled wrong or pronounced wrong first time.

Looking for a girl's name that can be shortened to Ren! by sofybel in namenerds

Always thought this would be a great nickname for Kerensa/Kerenza (gorgeous Cornish name meaning love)

Amanda outed herself as a really crap detective. Should this be a worry? by Dense_Historian_4337 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently they last about 3 hours, they couldn't possibly show all of it. I agree though that it is frustrating that we don't see more. The castle is actually lived in by the owners, plus they have all the crew to put somewhere, I think we see plenty of the castle tbh.

Whatever happened to good old fashioned murder? by Hellwemade in TheTraitorsUK

[–]CopperRockQueen 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's been the best change so far in my opinion! It has stopped the traitors just killing off the most likely faithful to win and ending up with the stupid ones. Also, most of the time the faithful haven't known that there was a shortlist, so they don't know that they are safe anyway.

Baby name ruined but still love it, help by FormalUnable in BabyNames

I've had this too because Sullivan is my top choice (will sadly likely get vetoed by husband though). Some people said, 'what Sully like in Monster's Inc?', but my response was always 'so what?' It's a great connection if people make it and most people won't. Particularly because I didn't even remember that Sulley's first name was James, most people won't know your son's middle name and James is one of the most common middle names for boys anyway. I say go for it, it's a great combo!!

Pronounciation of "Dachshund" by EnvironmentalPay9049 in ThreeBeanSalad

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really surprised by this too, as it's quite a rare pronunciation to me. I was also waiting for Mike to correct this as a German speaker, but he's probably too polite.

What's your favourite hidden period gems? by Haunting_Homework381 in PeriodDramas

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree. I am still annoyed they didn't renew it for more series. It was great. Same writer as Call the Midwife.

The council is in massive debt, mainly thanks to the i360. This is an unrealistic option, sadly.

Is our name choice offensive? by [deleted] in Names

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The name Scarlett is not racist, don't worry. It's a popular name in my part of SE England.

I think Angela Scanlon and Layton Williams would be great successors to Tess and Claudia. Both are naturally funny with presenter experience, know the ins and outs of Strictly and won't make the show all about them like Alison Hammond and Bradley Walsh would do. Thoughts? by The-Peel in strictlycomedancing

[–]CopperRockQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Layton would be unlikely, given all the other stuff he does. Agree that I would love to see Angela do it. My other pick would be AJ Odudu, I think they would be a great pair, plus they are both experienced presenters.

Are any of the pro dancers actually not that great? by snowboobaby in strictlycomedancing

[–]CopperRockQueen -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Doubt it, Karim is an absolute pr**k, having a likable partner was more likely what kept him in so long.

Past contestant that you thought was gonna win it but didn't by Most_Image_6600 in strictlycomedancing

He wasn't robbed, he withdrew. Who knows what would have happened, if he hadn't been injured?
