Is it totally rediculous?

I love it, especially with having craftsman heritage throughout our family

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Actually, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Just another surname type given name and not as hackneyed as Harrison, Taylor, Tyler etc.

MikeUniformMike · 09/08/2019 10:59

Isn't it just Smith or something?

Yes pencils

OtraCosaMariposa · 09/08/2019 10:27

Don't they make pencils too?

Publisher
Sounds like the German surname Weber

daisypond · 09/08/2019 08:47

I think publisher too, but it could be ok.

Middle name 'and'?

Faye, Fabian, yes.

Faber sounds short for something, incomplete.

Tillygetsit · 08/08/2019 22:43

A bit daft tbh. Sorry.

AntonsMumsTeeth · 08/08/2019 22:40

Yep. It's ridiculous.

Frith2013 · 08/08/2019 22:40

Presumably you’ll have another child also called Faber...

SirVixofVixHall · 08/08/2019 22:39

Like the pencils ? Um..why ?

Signifyingnothing · 08/08/2019 22:38

Love it too! And I used to work in publishing.

Sophronia · 08/08/2019 22:38

Would you pronounce it fah-ber or fay-ber?

PolkaDotted · 08/08/2019 22:38

It's awful

doodlejump1980 · 08/08/2019 22:34

Name of a Music publisher for me

ParmaViolet44 · 08/08/2019 22:30

Haven't heard it before but I love it actually!

rugshade · 08/08/2019 22:21

Gorgeous.

Chocolatedaim · 08/08/2019 22:20

It sounds like someone with a lisp trying to say Frasier...

EssentialHummus · 08/08/2019 22:20

I’d assume they had a sibling called Faber too.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 08/08/2019 22:19

I know of a girl called Faber, so to me it’s feminine.

DramaAlpaca · 08/08/2019 22:18

It's the name of a book publisher to me. I'm not keen on it for a first name, but it's not awful.

username1724 · 08/08/2019 22:16

I actually really like it!
