Thank you all for the feedback good and bad!

Still love it and given we think it suits him once’s he’s born, pretty sure he’s going to be Ziggy.

@SissySpacekAteMyHamster

Anyone else of an age where the name Ziggy brings up the image of a spotty scouser on Grange Hill?
When I had a Ziggy in my class it was my first thought Grin Spotty, awkward teenager, rather than the cool Bowie connection!

The parents were painfully 'cool' they would have been gutted if they'd known what I was thinking, it was very obvious they wanted everyone to know how hip they were....

My baby boy is called Ziggy and my daughter is called Indie

Everyone comments on how different it is and lots of people like it.

I know someone called Zig and he's a really awesome guy I think the name has always suited him I don't understand why people get so hung up on long names on birth certs and not using nicknames if that's what you like go for it I think it's pretty cool

I love it OP 💚

Please don’t do that to a child.

FluWorldOrder · 17/03/2021 21:44

Like Ziggy off Home and Away (female) Grin
I like it!

AngelDelightUk · 13/03/2021 17:25

I think it’s sweet, and he will definitely be a cool dude with that name!

If you think of David (Ziggy) Bowie's son Zowie Bowie - he clearly decided for himself what he wanted to be called when he grew up .

Now known as Duncan Jones - couldn't be more ordinary if he tried!

People are free to change how they are known, should they wish it.

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 13/03/2021 01:58

Nope .

Littlefluffyclouds13 · 13/03/2021 00:33

There's a Ziggy at my school, I don't think it's great for him in the playground etc, children just want to fit in and I say that working in a school with a fair share of unusual names!

Porridgeoat · 13/03/2021 00:31

Top name! I like it a lot

Twolostsoulsswimminginafishbow · 13/03/2021 00:31

Sorry, posted too soon. Who spells Zander with a Z!

Twolostsoulsswimminginafishbow · 13/03/2021 00:30

I know boy twins called Ziggy and Zander.

MercyBodle · 13/03/2021 00:20

I like it.

Mylasmummy2102 · 12/03/2021 18:45

JoesM12 · 12/03/2021 17:21

I really like it!

Ijustlikedthename · 12/03/2021 13:46

I love it!

WeWentToTheAnimalFair · 12/03/2021 11:57

I love it !

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/03/2021 11:40

I don't think the name would put off a future employer I think it would make him stand out! Also he will be growing up in a world of unusual names!!!! I put a post on about my list of names and they aren't even that unsual and people were going oh my god no don't do that to a child! 😂 id rather they stood out wirh a name then be one of a million in their school year!
