What do you think of Lupin for a boy?

Sorry, just read it's a boy's name.
Im not really keen on nature names for boys
Remus is better if you are after a harry potter connection.

Well it’s a flower or a bean
Not a child’s name

Lupin? No. It conjures up images of a mimsy, effete twit.

ofwarren · 14/04/2020 21:56

It reminds me of Remus Lupin in harry potter or possibly a name for a rabbit.
Is it a girl's name?
How about other flower names such as Tulip, Daisy, Jasmine.

Unfortunately I think he may be bullied because of a name like that.

To be fair, having googled, it's a boys' name after all, sorry! I guess meaning wolf-like rather than after the flower.

In the still hilarious, after 130 years, book Diary of a Nobody , Lupin is the name of the ne’er do well/ twerpish son of the main character.

So, no.

Lupins are pretty and I like the sound of the name. It's unusual to choose a flower name for a boy though so I'd probably assume it was a girl. Not sure if that would both you?

AcrobaticCardigan · 14/04/2020 21:50

Horrendous!

TheGriffle · 14/04/2020 21:47

Remus.

Kinsman · 14/04/2020 21:46

And another no from me.
Sorry, it's just awful.

LochJessMonster · 14/04/2020 21:45

Awful
Reminds me of Harry Potter.

JKScot4 · 14/04/2020 21:45

Flower or wolf?
Nope, just sounds daft.
NN Loopy 🙄

Makes me think of Harry Potter books.

Other kids could call them 'loopy' if they're mean.
