I have lupins growing in my garden. They have pretty pink, purple and sometimes white flowers. I would not use the word for a boy's name.

Yes, Harry Potter and lupus.

NotStayingIn · 14/04/2020 22:35

Harry Potter and lupus both spring to mind. SoI think it’s either a bit naff, try hard to different or just too bizarrely similar to a horrible illness.

Bumfuzzled · 14/04/2020 22:32

Flipping heck, I’m all for unusual names but Lupin...just no, no, no.

BrooHaHa · 14/04/2020 22:31

Nah. Loony, loopy Lupin. And lupus connections. And I'd wonder if you didn't realise that Lupin's first name was Remus.

Enough4me · 14/04/2020 22:30

Lupus is an awful disorder and it sounds like that.

confusednortherner · 14/04/2020 22:28

I'm sorry but it's not really that good for a girl, please don't do it to your son!

Horrific

@JellyfishandShells

He is such a twat that kid! The 'road rage' incident, where he hits a random guy's horse and makes it rear as he drives by, I mean what a total bellend!!

lustforlife · 14/04/2020 22:23

I like it! But then again I am calling my daughter Luna Grin

BackforGood · 14/04/2020 22:21

Awful.
What is it with all these people wanting to call their poor children ridiculous things at the moment ?

RoseMartha · 14/04/2020 22:21

No

campion · 14/04/2020 22:20

I'm also reminded of 'The Diary of a Nobody' by George and Weedon Grossmith. At least the Lupin in that was using his middle name and,yes,he was a twerp . His first name was William. Very funny book though.
Ridiculous name for a boy...may as well call him Rose or Daisy.

IamHyouweegobshite · 14/04/2020 22:15

Lupins are also poisonous. Also reminds me of Professor Lupin from Harry Potter.

MinorArcana · 14/04/2020 22:10

It makes me think of Harry Potter

Bringmewineandcake · 14/04/2020 22:09

No it's awful, sorry

mnahmnah · 14/04/2020 22:08

Lupus too sorry

Pulpfiction1 · 14/04/2020 22:08

Isn't there a medication called lupin?

MrsP2015 · 14/04/2020 22:07

Reminds me of Lupus sorry.

Meltedwellie · 14/04/2020 22:07

Makes me think of Lupus too. Doesn’t sound like a nice name. No, don’t do it to your baby.

stophuggingme · 14/04/2020 22:06

Just cruel

IKEA888 · 14/04/2020 21:59

no... Lupus the autoimmune disease is what I first think of

Elouera · 14/04/2020 21:59

Its a type of flour made from a bean! Like calling him wholemeal, spelt or multiseed!!!

I agree, he'll be called 'Loopy Lupin'. I like names a bit different, but this is a no from me.
