Love your names already and some great name choices here

My DD has Boo as a middle name and chooses to use it often although some people probably think is a nickname.

My DS has a very very unusual name and while not being quite like your choices he still never gets any stick or teasing about it and he is 14 now.
He is mostly known just by his first name now everywhere - no need for a surname when your name is unusual.

I love the name, Fox! It sounds incredibly stupid with our surname too. As would Farty Bum bum and Kitty Kitty Wee Smell! Grin

Oh and we have a niece who's nn is dolly at the moment. But her full name is Dorathea. She's a toddler and gets dori most the time but also dolly or dotty. She can choose dori/ Dora/ thea/ Dorathea/ dolly/ dotty etc as she likes

Artandco · 01/05/2014 19:12

People often choose longer names as then child can choose nickname as they grow. Ie Edward. Often is teddy as baby, teddy/ eddy as small child, then ed or ted from teens up with Edward when formal

To be honest I would assume that Monty Jack was Monty short for Monterey.

Sorry but why would you just name your child Harry purely to make they're lives easier? Bizarre, no offence to any little Harry's just the reasoning behind it! I have much more respect for the OP! X

Megrim · 01/05/2014 16:24

Dolly and Dot are both diminutives of Dorothy Hmm

I can see why you didn't use the full version on the birth certificate as "Dorothy Dorothy Lannypanny123" would look a bit odd.

sonlypuppyfat · 01/05/2014 16:12

It's just that I can't imagine a big hunky lad of 19 chatting up a girl in a club and saying hi I'm Buster Boo!

NellieSocks · 01/05/2014 15:53

Can i add Bertie, Jerry, Nellie, Trudie or Frankie to your lists?

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 01/05/2014 15:50

Longer names give the child a choice when they're older?

My name has several short versions, I like most of them but there's one I can't stand because it feels too twee and cutesy. I've used a few of the others, and now mainly use the whole thing, and I'm grateful to my parents for giving me the choice.

Another thing I don't understand on MN is why the hate for NN as you call them names? Why use Montgomery on the birth certificate if its never going to get used again? It's always puzzled me

I'm so happy that Wax Weasel has met with such appreciation. Anyone who would like to shortlist it, it's yours :)

OneDayWhenIGrowUp · 01/05/2014 13:47

OP I do admire your courage in choosing the names you have. I gave my dog one of my wackier names, to stop myself from using it on a future child! Bit daft really. I hope the posts from those who feel the need to criticise are water off a ducks back. Pantone, if you wouldn't give someone a job based on their name, or laugh at people's names behind their backs, that says more about you than that person's mother. If you can't say anything nice, and all that.

This is quite a fun opportunity for those of us giving suggestions - I'd love to know which ones you like though OP!
