My other half is a HUGE formula 1 fan and his favourite driver of all time is kimi raikkonen hence his suggestion for the name for our wee one due in November! When I say it out loud I actually really like it but I'm not sure we would be condemning our wee boy to lots of teasing!? Help!

Unless you live in Finland people will assume it's 'Kimmy' and that he's a girl.

I'd assume the child was a girl and it was pronounced Kimmy.

It just makes me think of Kimi from the Rugrats in Paris movie, though I appreciate that's a niche reference.

I know a baby kimi! His mum is Finnish and very well to do. He's a cutey and it suits him. It's funny how when you 'know' a name it takes on positive connotations.

Obviously you can call your child what you like and I don't buy into the idea that certain names rule out a career as a high court judge/are guaranteed to result in bullying..

Having said all that.. it is still a terrible name. Sorry.

Just to add that it's a Finnish name pronounced keemi rather than kimmi!
