Boo for a boy ....

[nappyaddict]

Yay or nay?

[ILikeToMoveItMoveIt]

In my brain - yay
Realistically - nay

[Fimbo]

Nope.

It's the little girl's name in Monsters Inc

[belgo]

should be Bo or Beau.

[HelenBurns]

Nay!

He has to get through adulthood too y'know!

[MadameCastafiore]

No to Bo, Beau or Boo - it is hideous!

[daisy5]

Part of me likes it but.....no.

Kids sneak up and go 'boo'.

[GooseyLoosey]

To Kill A Mockingbird - local bogeyman (though turned out nice).

Sounds too 1950s American for me.

[MadameCastafiore]

The teacher will look atthe register at the beginning of term and have him down as a little oik immediately.

[TsarChasm]

As in Boo Radley? I think nay...I would assume it was a nickname.

[ILikeToMoveItMoveIt]

Boo Radley I believe.

[morningpaper]

Fine for a baby

Tragic for a man

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

As a nickname fine. But not a proper name.

[Maclaren]

think about it 11 year old starting senior school poor thing do you really want to put him through all the crap he will get because you gave him a stupid name!

[MrsMattie]

Nooooooo. Good God, NO.

No human should be named Boo.

[HelenBurns]

and it would be easily confused with 'poo' when he was learning to speak.

[nappyaddict]

I was just thinking I know a couple of girls with this name and it really suits them but don't know of any boys with it although it is similar to Bo which people often use for both boys and girls.

[MadameCastafiore]

Seriously you know kids called Boo - it isn't a name it is a noise you make when you want to scare the pants off of someone!

[Nancy66]

Ridiculous name. Seriously, you will ruin a child's life if you call them this.

[rubyslippers]

no

[LolaTheShowgirl]

that is just awful. bordering on child cruelty. beau is lovely and awfully twee though.

[VinegarTits]

I cannot believe anyone would be so cruel/stupid to call their dd Boo

Are they Chavs?

[girlandboy]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

That's a no by the way.

Please don't! Can you imagine it when he's middle aged? And people will ask what it's short for ALL THE TIME!

[NotADragonOfSoup]

NO.

[squeaver]

Hurrah for a girl!

[moonincancer]
