What do you think of Lupin for a boy?

Amazing!
(Bias, all my children have hp inspired names)

I think it’s like some non- fan thought it would be cool because it’s Remus not lupin

Hopingitrains · 18/04/2020 01:55

This is a crop grown on farms

AlliKaneSon · 18/04/2020 01:41

I know a few cats called Lupin so I associate with that, sorry. Not. A huge fan, I’m afraid.

Lupus

I met a very nice Maltese called Lupin recently. Just saying.

bombaychef · 18/04/2020 00:14

No.

Buttercup54321 · 17/04/2020 00:03

Sounds girly and silly. He will get called Lulu or loopy.

I love it, Lupin Pooter is one of my favourite fictional characters.

Carrie7469 · 15/04/2020 22:10

It's dreadful

ShrimpSymphony · 15/04/2020 22:09

Flower or werewolf. It’s awful

KindnessCrusader · 15/04/2020 22:08

Makes me think of Lupus. I love an out there name but because of that connection it's a no from me.

ErrolTheDragon · 15/04/2020 21:37

My lupins seem to have disappeared, I think they must have been eaten by slugs.
So if you needed any other reasons against ...Grin

careworkerandproud · 15/04/2020 21:31

Awful...sorry

87Callista · 15/04/2020 19:40

I'm not keen

midsomermurderess · 15/04/2020 19:39

It makes me think of old-fashioned boy nicknames like Bunny.

Zinniasout · 15/04/2020 18:08

I don't like names with the 'loo' sound in them. It invites teasing and rhymes with poo and means toilet etc. There are so many wonderful names why choose one that has a high chance of causing your child grief?

whatausername · 15/04/2020 18:07

Ahh I should have RTFT! Sorry OP, I see you replied in the thread so now it looks like I'm piling on. Have you started a new thread for ideas? Maybe we could help you find something to your tastes but less...difficult for a child to wear

whatausername · 15/04/2020 18:05

What do I think of it?

That it's not very kind. I really wouldn't do that your child.

Finnemoo · 15/04/2020 17:22

Surprised it’s got such a negative reaction. I quite like it actually!

I know a Lewin, which sounds quite similar?

Blursula · 15/04/2020 14:48

I love it but I imagine it more on a girl than a boy if I’m honest

PeraltasWife · 15/04/2020 13:49

No sounds like a disease..makes me think of Lupus

dellacucina · 15/04/2020 13:40

No. Sorry.
