What do you think of Bean?

[Carolinchina]

What do you think of Bean as a boy's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

[lottiegarbanzo]

If you live in New Zealand that's how they say Ben. It makes me laugh.

[RancerDoo]

Is it really? Is bun on there too?

[OscarPistoriusBitontheside]

Baked, Heinz, canellini, kidney, shall I go on?

[SavoyCabbage]

that's what I thought Lottie.

On my dd's first day of school she told me she had been playing with medicine at lunch time. After swooning I realised it was Madison.

[Pochemuchka]

Erm, even Courtney Love was only brave enough to use this as her DD's middle name.

[BOFingSanta]

It sounds like you didn't actually get around to thinking of a name. It's pretty much the informal word for fetus, isn't it?

[AKissIsNotAContract]

Makes me think of Kurt Cobain's daughter. I think it works more for a girl than a boy.

[timetosmile]

Have you ever read Fantastic Mr. Fox?
Or seen the Rowan Atkinson series?
Doesn't appeal to me, I'm afraid

[TeaBrick]

Is it on the name finder because you've just put it on, op?

[JimmysMum1988]

Mr Bean

[LittleDonkin]

Its my sisters middle child's nickname. It stuck from when she was pregnant.

[izzyishavingababyAGAIN]

Is this serious - it's not a name

[MoelFammau]

My DD goes by the name Bean, or Lil Bean to be accurate. Her real name is Robin.

[GrimmaTheNome]

Perhaps its pronounced to rhyme with Sean? (anyone else have trouble with Sean Bean...I either read it as Shaun Baun or Seen Been)

[scottishmummy]

as a cutsey wutsey pre-birth name,well i know the right on mums do this
as an actual name ghastly,twee, and just no

[Callipygian]

Theres a character in the Ender Saga (by orson scott card) called Bean, although i think its a nickname.

[gobbin]

Oh. I've just called one of my kittens Bean. He's ginger and looked like a baked bean. Are you likely tomhave a redhead? Could be awkward lol!

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

Absolutely. Especially if your last name is Salad.

If you named your child Bean, would he be able to carry it all through his life ? Possibly not .

[Catsmamma]

It's your hormones dearie!

dd got nicknamed Bean by ds1 as she was little and the colour of a baked bean.

[Bearcrumble]

Bean is not a name.

[JambalayaWarmMincePie]

DD2 is called Bean......

....By those who know and love her. Everyone else knows her as Nancy.

[SorrelForbes]

My DSiS's BIL and wife gave their DS the middle name Bean (their nickname for the baby whilst she was pregnant). The family took the piss, a lot.

[FruitSaladIsNotPudding]

Cute name. For a small dog.
