We thought of this name for our baby boy and wanted some opinions on it! We wanted something unique but not too out of the norm. Thanks. :)

@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander

Cash is awful. Love Kingsley though.
I agree.

If you want something like that, why not Rock Hudson?

Suzi888 · 22/09/2020 02:35

Really don’t like the forename Cash, sorry. Kingsley sounds like a good, strong name though.

RomanyBlood · 22/09/2020 02:33

Cash is beyond terrible.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 22/09/2020 02:30

If you like it that's all that matters.
I like it even though I do also like classic old names like George, Albert & Theo.

Kote · 22/09/2020 02:23

I also thought country singer/cowboy

Cash is King. Just no.

Oh dear. You're getting a hard time here, OP, but posters on this board are notorious for their honesty and plain speaking. If a name isn't good, you'll be told straight.

Anyway, my opinion for what it's worth - it's not good. Cash is very odd as a first name and the two names together just don't work. May I gently suggest a rethink.

SD1978 · 22/09/2020 01:27

@ktp100 - me too!!! "Cash me outside". Sprung immediately to mind!!!! Also not keen on the alliteration. It would be a no from me, but so many kids are getting 'unique' names now, it's pretty standard. I do wonder though why the parents don't just change their own name in this constant need for uniqueness and maybe leave the kids out of it......

Costacoffeeplease · 22/09/2020 01:18

Awful

He'll get called 'Cash Convertors'.

Rubybluesy · 22/09/2020 01:15

Terrible

You could get away with it in the US but not the UK

BbcBreakfastisCrap · 22/09/2020 01:06

I’m sorry but no on every level.

occa · 22/09/2020 01:05

Please don't do this to an actual human being.

It's awful.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 22/09/2020 00:44

I can't seem to get the stress right. I'm saying it as if it's double barrelled.

Cash-Kingsley. I think it's very tempting to run them together.

Brockwell · 22/09/2020 00:36

Chavvy.

Pachonga · 22/09/2020 00:32

Awful, sorry. Don’t saddle your kid with that.

katy1213 · 22/09/2020 00:31

DisKount Karpet salesman?

GarlicSoup · 22/09/2020 00:22

Sounds like a country and western singer.

WinWinnieTheWay · 22/09/2020 00:15

Pawn shop

Ritascornershop · 22/09/2020 00:14

Cash? As a name? Whole world’s gone mad.

Onesailwait · 22/09/2020 00:13

Cash isn't an awful name, its just very North American. Along the lines of Cole, Zayne, zaden, Jaden, Hunter, Sawyer, Ryder Logan. All very popular at my kids school.

Fartleking · 22/09/2020 00:09

It sounds like a character from a trashy romance novel. Sorry.

I like Kingsley as a middle name though...

Nathaniel (Nate) Kingsley
Max Kingsley
Willem Kingsley
Io Kingsley
Rafe Kingsley

MeepleMe · 22/09/2020 00:05

Ridiculous. Whatever will become a name next...Quid Queensley? Coin Caracatus? Don't do this to your child.
