Bumble is a very cute name.

As a nickname it works. I call my daughter bumble. But her real name is bernadette. I do use her real name aswell and she knows she is berdette as she calls herself (shes only one) but bumble is easier for the babies that I know to say. so I use both shes usually bernadette when she is in trouble for pulling the dvds out and throwing them everywhere!

Could be short for Elwood. James Stewart played an amzing character called Elwood in Harvey, I think I love it just because of that Grin

Why it the cowboy called Woody if it's got such awful meanings over there?

Ok, sorry for driving the point home in a limousine!

Maybe Woody could have a sister called Fanny?

Fullpleatherjacket · 18/01/2015 12:17

It's a 'no' from me partly because it's one of those cutesie names that gets outgrown very quickly but mainly for the erection connection (loving that phrase Grin).

I never could imagine what Zoe and Norm were thinking of Hmm

teaandlemonTart on the other hand, I think Will and Rich are fine!

I admit the two together is a little two fingers in the face of your concerns general public! but individually i find both fine.

Woody though. No.

RedandCurlyHair · 18/01/2015 09:35

no no, it's another word for a boner in america.

back to the drawing board seriously

Only1scoop · 18/01/2015 09:33

I like it

SquirrelledAway · 18/01/2015 09:32

Reminds me of Woody from the Bay City Rollers - big hair and tartan flares.

Blue I know a lot of people who share that opinion. It's not something I'm overly fussed about, but I get why people think that way.

One very good friend of mine caused a big family rift by giving her DS a 'nickname' for a name.

Woody definitely off the list now. I can't imagine a CEO or high court judge being called Woody Grin

I prefer Stiffy. It's more of a classic than Woody.

BlueBrightBlue · 17/01/2015 21:55

I personally dislike, Milly, Sunny ,Lotttie, Archie, Evie, etc, ok as nicknames.
Just my personal take on names.

BlueBrightBlue · 17/01/2015 21:51

Google" free BDM," there are a lot of unusual names uses in the 1800's, we are rather conservative by their standards.

ShadowSpiral · 17/01/2015 20:56

No. It's like a cartoon name. Or the nice but dim bartender from Cheers.

Incidentally, I used to work with a Richard who insisted on being called Dick. He wouldn't answer to anything else, although he had to put up with Richard on his e-mail address because that was his official name. Every time I had to speak to him, i would just be thinking "Why Dick? What's wrong with Richard?" Confused
