Watch Ozark

Very Bold and The Beautiful

That’s what Piper in “Charmed” called her son. I’m ashamed to know that

Onlinedilema · 07/07/2021 21:25

Awful.

I have an American friend with a son called Wyatt. I quite like it even if it does conjure up images of gun totin' cowboys.

HerRoyalNotness · 07/07/2021 19:23

I like it

nimbuscloud · 07/07/2021 19:20

@HyggeTygge
Yes.
Hopefully people will be mindful.

There’s a Wyatt in DS’s class, it’s very unusual and not in a good way. I think it’s an awful name.

@HyggeTygge

Just to note a MNer lost her toddler daughter who had this as a first name. Please bear this in mind when responding. And I hope that family is doing ok. It was a terribly sad event. Flowers

Yes, I remember her and her lovely DD, Wyatt.

I like it, it's a gentle sounding name.

It's a bit... yee haw

A lovely old English name
An old English surname. Not traditionally used as a first name in the UK. Not keen, especially if you were thinking of it as a girls' name.

It makes me think of Ozark (Netflix).
Not terrible, but very American sounding.
And most accents wouldn't pronounce the t.

Tairbear · 07/07/2021 16:36

Love it

TheFoundations · 07/07/2021 16:24

Wild West. Bit like 'Dwayne'.

It sounds like someone who has trouble with their rs saying riot.

VenusClapTrap · 07/07/2021 12:59

Not a very nice name.

Mamamamasaurus · 07/07/2021 12:54

I know a child called Wyatt, it's horrible. Please don't.

SallySycamore · 07/07/2021 12:43

Definitely Wyatt Earp and the gunfight at the O.K. corral!

TenThousandSpoons · 07/07/2021 08:43

Awful.

steelseries · 07/07/2021 08:36

Well it's my abusive ex's surname, so it's a no from me!

Even so I think it's horribly hard sounding and not attractive. If you were calling a child it sounds like your saying "QUIET!"

anothernamereally · 07/07/2021 08:29

A lovely old English name

TatianaBis · 07/07/2021 08:19

It’s fine in the US. Here it sounds absurd.

With a London accent it would be Wyer’.

DerisorySnort · 07/07/2021 07:58

Yes, but not only that, Wyatt was his surname not his first name.

I really dislike those surnames used as given names.

Benvolio · 07/07/2021 00:47

Lovely poet/courtier of 1500's. Didn't end well.
