Thoughts on the boy’s name Nori?

(Not as a shortened version for anything)

I think of a Japanese friend called Norika we call her Nori. So it's a girls name for me

Hey Duggie

JazzTheDog · 10/03/2021 22:21

It's a Scottish surname when it's spelled Norrie.

Wow, thatl be a resounding no then 🤣

It’s often used as a nickname for Norman hence why I’d see it as a boy’s name

Nori with Dori and Ori (if you have triplets)

Nori, Dori, Pin and Gloin. Hobbit dwarves.

A dwarf

Firenight · 10/03/2021 22:16

If I was picking a dwarf name I would use Thorin.

alexdgr8 · 10/03/2021 22:15

don't be ridiculous.
it's seaweed.
give the child a proper name.
why would you want to subject them to your vanity project.

MrsWP · 10/03/2021 22:15

My initial thought was Norovirus then followed by seaweed.

Ohhgreat · 10/03/2021 22:14

Yeah its the female mouse on Hey Duggee be prepared to watch it a lot in the first 3 years!!

Snooptheboot · 10/03/2021 22:14

Norrie is a girl in hey duggee and Nori is a Japanese seaweed.

What country does it originate from as a name? I think it would be a struggle in the uk...

Sushi...mmmmm. Hungry now.

DramaAlpaca · 10/03/2021 22:13

I think of sushi, and to me it sounds feminine rather than masculine.

@Doyoumind

Like PP said, I feel like this is inspired by Hey Duggee.
It’s my first child so I’ve never watched Hey Duggee 😂

Hey Duggee for me too. I immediately had Alexander Armstrong’s voice saying ‘Norriiiee!’

TheVanguardSix · 10/03/2021 22:12

Nori... isn't it time for...?

It's a bit too Hey Duggee for me.

Doyoumind · 10/03/2021 22:11

Like PP said, I feel like this is inspired by Hey Duggee.

Lindy2 · 10/03/2021 22:11

I have some Nori in my kitchen for making sushi. I'm not sure I'd want to be named after a seaweed.

PompomDahlia · 10/03/2021 22:10

It's seaweed. Or a dog's name

GinAndTonicOnIt · 10/03/2021 22:10

Not a fan.
