Chazley?

MitzyLeFrouf · 16/02/2016 16:06

I put Buzley into google images and this dapper chap appeared.

Buzley

Hahaa, Buzley!!

Don't do it. There must be at least one name on the spectrum between 'boring' Charles and 'made-up' Buzley that you and your partner can agree on? FWIW I like Charles though.

Oooh Buzz Aldrin's real name is Edwin. Who'd've thunk it wasn't Buzz (short for Buzkey, or Buzzard or summit)?

Allalonenow · 16/02/2016 15:58

I like FlashBuzz best. (Or Balonz!)

Aquiver · 16/02/2016 15:58

I'm afraid Buzzley sounds like a cartoon/animated movie character's name...

You could use Buzz as a nickname (like the famous Buzz Aldrin)?

Woodenmouse · 16/02/2016 15:55

Busby would be ok, shortened to buzz but I'm still not 100% sure about it!

WingMirrorSpider · 16/02/2016 15:55

Buzleys are ten a penny round here so I wouldn't go with it personally.

Freezingwinter · 16/02/2016 15:54

Buzz is OK. Buzley looks ridiculous written down, and said out loud. Sorry!

slebmum1 · 16/02/2016 15:51

Just buzz is so much better than Buzley.

CityFox · 16/02/2016 15:40

I like Fitzbuz too.

Twitterqueen · 16/02/2016 15:40

Oh please go for Fizz Buzz. Imagine the daily fun when someone decides what the number and multiple of the day will be.

Ds is in Y5 and the only one in his school with his name. Dd has encountered only one other child with her name in her school life so far and is at a secondary with 1500 pupils.

Both are classic but not as much used as the Charlie's/James's - which are not bad names either.

squoosh · 16/02/2016 15:02

Fitzbuz

I think it's the 'ee' sound on the end that makes it sound silly. How about Buzford, Buzhope, Buzholme or mix it up a bit with Fitzbuz. They sound much posher.

crumpet · 16/02/2016 15:00

Finn has been in use since at least the 3rd century.

I would snigger at Buzley. So would a lot of people. My preference would not be to give a child a name that means they have to suffer the WTF responses throughout their childhood.

OttiliaVonBCup · 16/02/2016 14:57

I just thought it sounds like a name that would be wasted without a double barrelled surname that's all.
You're telling me I got it right?

squoosh · 16/02/2016 14:55

Surely there's a name out there that you can both agree on that is a bit more exciting than Charlie and a bit less exciting than Buzley?

thebiscuitindustry · 16/02/2016 14:51

There are lots of names that are somewhere in between the very traditional and the very unusual...

Ottilia what has a double barrelled last name got to do with it? Because I assume you're taking the piss...

Because he will have a double barrelled last name.

Of course I won't go with it now...

I just thought we had found a 'quirky' name we both agree on!

Guess I'll stick with Charles James and he'll be one of 100 Charlies Sad
