For a pet! Not a person

kenandbarbie · 25/05/2019 19:29

Are you actually being serious?

BackforGood · 25/05/2019 19:27

Loving the "Oh deer" comments.

OP, please reassure us you aren't actually serious, but just looking for something to amuse us ?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/05/2019 19:26

That was good 🦌

cliffdiver · 25/05/2019 19:25

Oh deer...

Please don't!

EmmaC78 · 25/05/2019 19:22

Terrible name.

Coquillage · 25/05/2019 19:21

I'd imagine most humans with the name Bambi are girls even though cartoon Bambi was a boy. Terrible name for anyone.

VanillaCoconutDove · 25/05/2019 19:20

It’s a nickname, like munchkin or sweetie pie.

Or it’s a sex industry name.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/05/2019 19:20

Nope. The usual joke around here of ‘but you’re eating Bambi!’ wouldn’t sit well.

Passthecherrycoke · 25/05/2019 19:17

Balloo is actually very cool 🤣 he’s a great character

DontCallMeShitley · 25/05/2019 19:15

How about Baloo?

Smolo · 25/05/2019 19:06

You can't call a child Bambi! Are you thinking for a boy or a girl?

tequilamockingbiird · 25/05/2019 19:04

I’m not a fan, I just can’t imagine an adult named Bambi

TheBabyAteMyBrain · 25/05/2019 19:04

Just think of an adult standing up in a meeting introducing themselves as Bambi. They wouldn't be taken seriously at all.

Dirtyjellycat · 25/05/2019 19:02

It’s a porn or stripper name. Please don’t!

Summerorjustmaybe · 25/05/2019 19:02

Dumbo is nice...

HoHoHolyCow · 25/05/2019 19:01

Relying not relaying 🙄

HoHoHolyCow · 25/05/2019 19:01

Possibly Bambi's girlfriend! I haven't read the book or seen the film so am relaying on a vague conversation with the child's dad ages ago.

Whatdoyouknowwhenyouknownowt · 25/05/2019 18:58

Yeah, stripper or prey...

Janleverton · 25/05/2019 18:56

Stripper.

recklessgran · 25/05/2019 18:55

Dear God - poor child will never be taken seriously.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 25/05/2019 18:50

Maybe in the US, but really not fair in the UK. Nickname if you must?

Sweet & twee only works for toddlers.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/05/2019 18:49

I thought Faline was Bambi's girlfriend

LazyLizzy · 25/05/2019 18:48

Reminds me of the Bambi murders.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/05/2019 18:48

I like it, but Then I like sweet and twee names. I think almost any name is acceptable now, isn't it
