Is that Mary Berrys grandsons name? Saw that on the show the other day and thought wtf? Poncy sounding to me.

maitaimojito · 22/07/2015 07:23

I just think 'hobo', sorry.

Gumnast2014 · 22/07/2015 07:17

Love it from the goldfinch

No to Hobie

TheEagle · 22/07/2015 07:08

Yep all I can think of is Baywatch.

As I Hobie wan knobie?
Or Hobo?
Err. No.

Bubblesinthesummer · 22/07/2015 07:03

Sorry no, not for me. Sounds too mch like Hobby and even if pronounced like nooka says, virtually no one will say it correctly.

I saw Mary berrys grandson Hobie on her program at the weekend and have been wondering what it's short for since!

Id never use it tbh, sounds a bit silly

ToysRLuv · 22/07/2015 06:58

Not a real name, IMO. Sounds like "hobby" or "hubby/ie", or "hoagie"..

EmpressKnowsWhereHerTowelIs · 22/07/2015 06:58

You wouldn't, would you? Not really?

nooka · 22/07/2015 06:51

Is that pronounced hob - ee or more like hoab - ee? Either way it doesn't really sound like a name to me, more of a nick name maybe.

Reminds me of Baywatch!
