Be Suggestive

14 Sep

My oldest, Tory Boy, is, in law, if not in the eyes of his mother, a man.  He therefore needs a new name on this blog, because he’s no longer a boy, though he is still a Tory. 

I’m looking for suggestions.

To help you along, here’s a few facts:

  • he has his future planned: degree/military/real world/politics
  • he’s a boy man

That’s it, really.  He never tells me anything so you know as much about him as I do.

Any ideas?

    Victoryous?

    • Tilly Bud September 14, 2011 at 20:15 #

      :) I couldn’t make senseof this at all; I kept getting ‘Victory-yous.’ Thank goodness Debbie came along. Something clicked when I read her comment :)

    I started trying to do something clever with MANdaTORY but failed. I am not clever or funny enough for this blog.

    Would you like a malteser?

    • Tilly Bud September 14, 2011 at 20:15 #

      Always.

      I think you are the smartest person I know ;)

    The prodigal son comes to mind, but I think it’s been used.

    • Tilly Bud September 14, 2011 at 20:17 #

      What a wastrel he was, living off his parents, too lazy to get a job, coming home only when he was desperate…hmmm….

      lol :) To be fair to my nameless son, it’s only the last one that’s true, and who can blame him? He has met us, after all.

    To be honest, my first thought was: “Tory Man??” :D

    But that wasn’t exactly extremely creative, so I decided to look up politics/Tory/gaelic for man on Google.

    My result? A headache and the name “Tory Fear”… maybe not quite the thing you’re looking for.. :s

      How sweet of you to go to all that trouble :) Thank you :)

      I suspect Tory Fear is what the public are feeling here in the UK with all the cuts ;)

        She is sweet, isn’t she?

    Son of a . . .
    No, I better not go there. ;)

    I rather like Debbie’s suggestion ~ MANdaTORY.
    Maybe translate into another language.

    House of John ~ BORING
    Ca d’Zan ~ Full of Pizzazz!

    So, what’s Tory Boy in Italian?

  9. slpmartin September 14, 2011 at 21:22 #

    Well given what you’ve said…how about Harpocrates…oh that may be a bit much…never mind!

  10. kateshrewsday September 14, 2011 at 22:02 #

    El Toro.

    • Tilly Bud September 14, 2011 at 22:11 #

      :) These are getting better and better. But he shouldn’t sound more powerful than me. I don’t want him to know I’m scared of him.

    • Debbie September 14, 2011 at 22:55 #

      El Toro gets my vote! Best one yet :)

      • Tilly Bud September 15, 2011 at 10:48 #

        It is a good one, isn’t it?

  11. siggiofmaine September 14, 2011 at 22:30 #

    How about “YahButt”.. does he always answer your proclamations with “Ya…but” to get the final authoratative …NOT…word in?

    Just wondering ☺

    I have another suggestion
    ‘Tory Boy’.

    It has two distinct advantages
    1. We shall all to to whom you refer
    2, It keeps him from getting above his station.

    • Tilly Bud September 15, 2011 at 10:57 #

      :) :)

      • earlybird September 15, 2011 at 15:05 #

        I agree with Pseu! :) (although I liked Whigman alot too)

    • speccy September 15, 2011 at 16:07 #

      excellent idea :)
      I’m sure to be confused otherwise

      • Tilly Bud September 21, 2011 at 14:04 #

        :)

        Going to discuss the results with the man himself.
