Comments for the name Flemming

Ian Flemming is the British novelist whose best known creation is James Bond.

Some time ago, I saw an episode of a reality show where a family's youngest daughter was named Flemming. I've actually began to like this, for a boy way more than a girl, though. Nice name, but the nickname "Flemm" is rather repulsive. ;)

Really? I can't believe people would actually name their innocent children this. In my local area, there is a man running for public office who named his son this. It didn't help his campaign any. Even without the gross connotation, it sounds like a verb, not a name.
