What do you think of Monty? Short for Montague or Montgomery.

Lots of children share their names with dogs so who cares! If you like Monty tjen go with it. Personally I think it is a fabulous name.

Montague and Capulet.

Shmithecat · 05/02/2019 20:38

My first thought is Monty Don. So yes, lovely name.

DramaAlpaca · 05/02/2019 20:37

It's nice on a labrador.

Montgomery is a fabulous name. I know a little Monty and he is a smashing little boy.

When I little my friends ponny was called Monty

Montague (Monty) was my grandfather's name. He's the only non-canine one I've ever known and he died in 2016 aged 92. Perhaps it's due a resurgence....

VenusClapTrap · 05/02/2019 19:45

It’s a bit of a comedy name. Wouldn’t be my choice, but there are far worse.

MikeUniformMike · 05/02/2019 19:25

Monty Don springs to mind. Yeah, why not.

singingismypassion · 04/02/2019 22:44

Totally adore the name but I might be a tad biased!

Scandaloso · 04/02/2019 21:02

It's a bit much really.

But if you feel you could happily shout 'COME HERE, MONTY' in a supermarket or park maybe it will be fine.

PsychedelicSheep · 04/02/2019 20:52

It makes me think of 'Monty! You terrible cunt!

BowBeau · 04/02/2019 20:38

I love Montague and I’m a huge fan of Monty Don! If I’d been able to choose DS’s name I’d have picked Monty.

Bumblebeesmum · 04/02/2019 20:29

Loads of children have dogs names now it wouldn’t bother me either - I just think it might be better to give them options with the full name version - but that’s just my opinion & you’ll never get any name liked by everyone

Thanks all! My partner likes it. I think it’s quite cute but understand the comments! I do know a dog with this name, but then so many dogs have human names now I wouldn’t say that bothers me. We will have to think about it!

Sounds like a dog or an exceptionally posh Eton kid. Are there no other ways to get the nickname - Montague & Montgomery are pretty out there

sheldonstwin · 04/02/2019 20:00

I think it's sweet.

namechange5575 · 04/02/2019 19:51

There's one locally, in the park his parents call him 'Mon'.

Sophronia · 04/02/2019 19:49

Not keen.

EnoughSnowAlready · 04/02/2019 19:46

I'm not a fan. It's a rather comedic name. It's great for a cat or dog but less so for a child.

Neverunderfed · 04/02/2019 19:45

I liked it when pregnant, dh vetoed as 'pretentious' apparently

Emc23 · 04/02/2019 19:45

It’s the name of the little special needs cat from Denmark. His sister is called Molly
