Louisa Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Excellent choice Ted Max. If that name is chosen do we get to share the winnings? I'm thinking of famous Dulwich residents of the past, Enid Blyton for example, maybe go down that route? 'Blytons'. Louisa.

Jeremy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 We really have to rule out anything which is French sounding, vaguely ironic, or includes part of the address.

EDOldie Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 How about La viande et deux legumes, I always thought that would be good for a french restaurant.

Free dinner?Hazle+Alex, please, please, pleeeeeease choose Matty's suggestion above. It's brilliant. I love Dill for a restaurant name here esp as its a nod to the origins of how Dulwich was named. (ahem...and there's an LL in it and you happen to be on LL which is a common abbreviation for it on here) :))Very best of luck with new venture.

Bellenden Belle Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Another vote for Dill - short, snappy, relevant- what more could you ask for? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/31762-new-restaurant/page/2/#findComment-640475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I like Matty's suggestion, but in practice might get awkward. "What do dill do?"Could spin on it with something like "Dilly-dally". I doubt that fits with the more formal nature.But I'm liking lots of the suggestions I'm seeing.>puts on thinking cap< Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/31762-new-restaurant/page/2/#findComment-640477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisa Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Dilwihs, Dylways, Dullag, and may come from two old English words, Dill, a white flower, and wihs, meaning a damp meadow, giving a meaning of "the meadow where dill grows".It's relevant, snappy and historical all in one. Excellent suggestion by Matty. My vote goes to that too. Louisa.

Strawbs Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I love the idea of 'Nosh' as someone suggested earlier. A play on 'goose green' suggestion - how about 'The Goose'.. catchy!
