Farrow for a boy?

[MsDe]

I really like it. What do you think?

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

It sounds made up.

I know a Farrell.

[Dizzydodo]

Makes me think of farrow and ball paint, sorry!

[CocktailQueen]

Farrow and Ball paint.

Or reminds me of farming - a cross between harrowing and fallow.

Just no.

[BertrandRussell]

Why?

[Buggers]

It's much more of a last name to me sorry. But if you and dh like it then go for it, I've heard worse.

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

It's a term for a pig giving birth - like calving/lambing.

[Janicejohn]

Why do you like the name? What's your point of reference for it?

[Millyonthefloss]

I would be worried about nicknames involving Balls

[SnoozeButtonAbuser]

Lovely, except that people will always be giving him a sodding ball and then sniggering "look it's Farrow and ball hahaha". You'll get sick of that shit loooooong before he does.

[Bettercallsaul1]

Farrow
Barrow
Marrow

Is he going to be a farmer?

[MsDe]

I really liked the name Willow for a girl, but now we've found out we're are having a little boy. I guess I thought it sounded... strong? I don't know now. Pig birthing may have killed it down dead.

[Dontrocktheboat]

Made me think of pigs!

[RiverTam]

Paint.

[MariaSklodowska]

also made me think of pigs or paint. Horrible.

[Cakescakescakes]

The pig thing is a veto I think!

[Porcupinetree]

It's definitely a pig giving birth .

[GlitterGlassEye]

I like it. I do know a Farrow, female though but I think it's nice for a boy too. Can't see kids making a connection between the name and some posh paint either.

[LoucheLady]

Yep. Farrowing pigs. Not good.

[PuraVida]

It's very farmy

[Fridgedooropen]

Immediate associations '...and Ball', or 'Mia'. Not good.

[MidnightVelvetthe5th]

First thought is farrowing pigs which then leads on to a James Herriot story where a sow burst an abcess on her ear.

Second though is Blackadder, in the episode with Ponsonby & Farrow, where Lady Farrow petitions the queen & is accused by Blackadder of being an interfering strumpet who goes blabbing to the queen. He wears a bag on his head.

I don't like it as a name, sorry OP.

[Miloarmadillo1]

Pigs farrowing. Not good, sorry!

[TamaraHiddlestoned]

Farrow? Is it me you're looking for?

[MrsJoeyMaynard]

It sounds very agricultural.
