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:
That’s it, really. He never tells me anything so you know as much about him as I do.
Any ideas?
[…] few days ago, I told you that Tory Boy needs a new name. Your suggestions are below. If you have any more you can leave them in the comments. […]

I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

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??” 😀
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

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.
