I thought of this name earlier and I quite like it, has anyone heard of it before?
Thought nickname Buck too was cute

@Toottooot

Read it first as Buckie which is both Buckfast and a small town in north east Scotland. Ridiculous made up name choice I’m afraid.
I too thought of Buckfast immediately.

Hawarden could be Pen-ar-lâg to his Welsh speaking friends and family, but it would undoubtedly get changed to a nasty nickname.

Someone on a FB thread suggested Daventry yesterday

aubreyii · 11/07/2021 22:04

Actually that's quite nice.

poorfanjo · 11/07/2021 21:55

@ILoveShula yes mold is nicer. I prefer hawarden!

ILoveShula · 11/07/2021 20:32

Mold is nicer @poorfanjo, although Alltami sounds prettier.

Buckley is a town / village in north Wales that does not have a good reputation

Dontdripme · 10/07/2021 15:24

Its awful, please don’t

LongTimeMammaBear · 10/07/2021 15:21

@GreyhoundG1rl there is a term called sarcasm. You may wish to look it up.

Nohomemadecandles · 10/07/2021 14:57

I usually say, "I'f you like it go for it" but this sits alongside Nevaeh in the monstrosity stakes.

There's a reason it's "unusual", mate. It's a shocker.

Naming a child after a cartoon character would be a fairly bizarre thing to do. ESPECIALLY when it's this name

MadeOfStarStuff · 10/07/2021 14:49

Buckley sounds very American. Bucklie sounds like an American who can’t spell plus it’s weirdly cutsified yet masculine

I don’t like it at all.

Hoppinggreen · 10/07/2021 06:50

@AfterSchoolWorry

Why the 'ie' at the end? Why not just Buckley?
Yoo neek innit

Well it's a surname.

“Buckley’s” means “no chance” or “no hope” where I’m from. So I’d say there’s Buckley’s chance of this name choice working out, sorry.

MaxiPaddy · 10/07/2021 05:48

Buckley is a douchey character on King Of The Hill.

Isitpossi · 10/07/2021 00:27

Horrific

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 10/07/2021 00:16

Buckingham Palace?

LuluJakey1 · 09/07/2021 23:50

It's horrible. Buck is a harsh sounding, ugly word. Bucklie just sounds thick and stupid- very unattractive and common.

Lockdownbear · 09/07/2021 23:44

@DocDog

Buckfast?
Thanks God I'm not alone thinking of a nickname for a cheap wine.

I spotted a guy in a "Blame the Buckie" t-shirt the other day.

Sorry op it's a no from me.

MimiDaisy11 · 09/07/2021 23:40

Makes me think of King Of The Hill and Luanne’s boyfriend in that show.

FlaminEckVera · 09/07/2021 23:37

@zombielady

I like it, but then again I did almost call my child Sid.
Nowt wrong with Sid. Grin
