Hi,
We were looking for a Indian and English name and settled on Neil for our newborn. We went to see some English friends and a lady laughed on this name for our baby. I don't understand what's so bad about Neil as a name. Now I am annoyed and thinking of changing his name. DH thinks this is unreasonable as there can't be a perfect name and people will always have opinions. I am not sure if I should look for other name or just get on with it. Also, his birth has been registered and passport done with Neil. AIBU to think so much about it ?

Baby Neil ….

Have you been watching Gavin and Stacey !
On a serious note it is a middle aged mans name which hasn’t made a return yet .

Sorry but I can't imagine a baby being called Neil. Just my opinion.
