Ferdy would be short for Ferdinand

Thanks!

With your surname, Saul. But I don't like either. Better Call Saul or Ferdinand the bull spring to mind.

Joinourclub · 23/07/2016 22:44

I really like both but think Saul Browning sounds better.

akorda · 23/07/2016 20:26

Saul Browning definitely better. Great in fact! But do like Ferdy as a name.

PotatoBread · 22/07/2016 22:31

Sorry but I really don't think Ferdy goes eith your surname. Regardless of that I prefer Saul by a long way.

Saul! Ferdy Browning sounds like a doddery old farmer Confused

Ferdy. Ferdinand is v good.

Not at all keen on Saul. Seth has a similar vibe to it and is a lot nicer imo?

HettyB · 21/07/2016 21:20

Saul by a loooooong way

MadameCholetsDirtySecret · 21/07/2016 21:04

Ferdy. Saul sounds harsh to my ears.

EssentialHummus · 21/07/2016 21:00

I don't like either Confused but Saul, at a push. The Hebrew version of this name translates to something like "Prayed for" which I rather like. I'd assume he was Jewish.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/07/2016 21:00

Saul

LynetteScavo · 21/07/2016 20:59

Ferdy.

Absolutely definitely! It's a great name.

I really don't like Saul

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 21/07/2016 20:57

Ferdy.

AnotherUsernameBitesTheDust · 21/07/2016 20:55

Ferdy! Love it, it's awesome!

caju · 21/07/2016 20:53

Saul by approximately one million percent.

Sophronia · 21/07/2016 20:47

Saul, but I like Ferdinand too
