I just love the name Ziggy and think a little girl called Ziggy would be the cutest name in the world! But you can't actually call your baby Ziggy... Can you?

AuntieStella his name was Eric.

It's a boy's name. Probably best as a MN for Sigismond?

Though on Grange Hill it was just a random NN - or was it? I've just had a quick Google and it's not clear if he had a 'real' name as well

But also have more common names as middle names they can use if they don’t want to stand out that way later in life.

About 10 years ago I taught a little boy who was a ziggy. But as a teacher I wouldn’t blink an eye at it. Both my children have foreign names

Wow, that prompted a lot of feedback! Thank you for confirming that calling a child this is not an option! I'm struggling with girl's name and think I might be clutching at straws!

I think it would be better suited for a boy

'Ziggy's' was the name of the main takeaway in my home town. Fun fact.

Very odd name for a little girl.

As a nickname fine. Not as an actual name IMO :)

No. Think of the child!
Are you a Bowie fan by any chance. Choose a nice solid name , that the child won't hate you forever, end up changing their name by deed poll and hating you for making their childhood hell.

Ziggy's fine as a pet name when your child is young. As long as that's all it is.

No. No you can’t. Please don’t.
