Floyd...

[Kirstle]

... for a boy ?

[meditrina]

Not a name I'd choose, but nothing wrong with it IYSWIM.

[susiedaisy]

More of a surname IMO

[usualsuspect]

I know a Floyd ,nice name I like it

[Kirstle]

great - I cant think of any potential life-scarring possibly bullying connotations either, which is always a plus. (Although I know that they can pick on something other than a name)
Thanks so far.

[tammytoby]

Makes a refreshing change from all the little Fins/Finns around, I guess.

[LetThereBeRock]

No.It's ghastly.

[hulabula]

I don't mind it - it doesn't bother me. Can't see what is 'ghastly' about it though ?

[Meteorite]

Pink

[tummytickler]

Its ok. Floyd the Barber jumps in to my head immediately though. (Nirvana song)

[Kirstle]

Nothing ghastly about it at all :) but that is someone elses opinion I suppose. Never heard of Floyd the Barber and if Pink Floyd is the only "bad" connotation, then I think we are ok :)
whoop!
On the shortlist it goes....

[LetThereBeRock]

I say it's ghastly because I think it's a horrid name. We were asked for opinions and I gave mine.

It also makes me think of the hurricane.

[seeker]

Drunk tv cook.

[minipie]

I think of Keith Floyd, so not keen.

What about Lloyd?

[hulabula]

Hurricane

Drunk TV cool

I wouldn't choose Flynn personally but it doesn't bother me and I'm sure once people meet your Flynn, they'll start to associate his name with him (rather than hurricanes of drunk tv characthers .)

[hulabula]

sorry, cook (not cool)

[JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar]

I like to think (having never actually met my father) that Keith Floyd was my dad. It's a shame he's dead as I think we'd have got on like a house on fire.

I'm not sure about Floyd as a first name though.

As you were.

[JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar]

I am aware that this makes me sound unhinged btw. I can assure you that I am quite sane

[lchodge]

My partner loves that name but I can't stand it. I couldn't even bring myself to let him name our dog Floyd. No particular reason why though!
