That would be wierd, my Thomas is expecting a baby boy with a woman called Carrie in a few weeks, but it won't be called Boris :)

He's gutted he can't be at the birth cos of lockdown, only 1 person allowed to attend and she's picked her mum :roll: I've told him he's not missing much apart from 8 hours of being sworn at and seeing things you can never un-see :?

Boris's baby will have an earthy first name like 'Eric' but with at least 3 middle names that are either Roman gods or start with 4 consonants.

Not sure if you got both parts but my thinking was because;
A) St Thomas's hospital where he nearly died
B) Capt Tom for raising 30m+ and turning 100 yr old the day after Boris baby was born

Wilfred is the fav at bookies at 5/1
Thomas 3rd fav at 8/1

I had to get a friend to place a £20 bet for me, if it pays off i will donate it to Capt. Tom's appeal

Why not a proper Brexit name like the one his dad has, maybe Ivan or Sergei? Just trying to think outside the box here, might be worth a punt :) Hope it's not John.

Surely Tom Johnson would be dismissed as an obvious Spoonerism.

Shirley Tom Johnson sounds like quite a mouthful, not a fan personally :) But I see many viable options, like Don or Magic, although Dwayne is the obvious best choice here. It would ensure the kid is popular at school and with the ladies, with everyone calling him The Rock. I'd love to see it.

But have a feeling that everyone will be very disappointed in the end.

I like that one, if you meant like an American Billy-Bob version of it :D

Boris could then say he delivered Brexit not once but twice, what a guy. :ugeek:
