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

@crinklyfoil omg yes you are right! That's a line from Kill Bill, it came screaming back to me after reading your comment.

I could tolerate Buckley, but the cutesy -ie ending would make me 🙄

TatianaBis · 09/07/2021 19:48

Hell no.

NigellaSeed · 09/07/2021 19:38

I know it from Kimmy Schmidt too. The name suits the character of the mother to have picked such a name. Not a compliment.

Also, Sounds like a dog name

donquixotedelamancha · 09/07/2021 19:34

OP, you forgot to tell us what type of pet this is for.

FlaminEckVera · 09/07/2021 19:09

Bucklie for an actual forename??? 🤢

@JLE93

JUST NO!!!!!

Sorry don't like it at all. Most useful advice from one OP here I would go with.

'Think of the possible playground taunts'.

I’ve just watched The Flight Attendant and there’s a Bucklie in that…

Lilyofthevalleys · 09/07/2021 18:16

Buckley as a last name first name maybe (Jeff Buckley). But Bucklie looks like a typo of Buckle and to my eye I want to read it Buck Lie.

Buckley, not my cup of tea but I’ve seen worse.
Bucklie, sorry but no.

Hmm Bucklie, a brother for Balonz?

😂 😂 😂

2bazookas · 09/07/2021 18:04

poor kid, doomed to be always nicknamed Fucklie. Or Fuck.

@KittytheHare

Buckley is a common Irish surname.
Most surnames are place names, professions or family names. Buckley literally is ‘rabbit field’: bucks are male rabbits and Leigh or Ley is old English for field.

There’s a film where a character announces ‘Names Buck and I’m here to fuck!’ Grin

@claralara42

all names are made up all words are made up

Some are more made up than others.

hi George Orwell🤣

Why not go with Buckles

MintyCedric · 09/07/2021 17:44

Buckley's is Aussie slang for 'no chance' eg 'you've got buckleys, mate!' Grin

I had a huge crush on Buck Rogers as a kid though so can't help but feel a bit nostalgic about Buck...Blush

Schrutesbeets · 09/07/2021 17:42

Sounds dreadful.
Looks even worse.

Don't be ridiculous OP

Ah OP, don't worry! We've all done it. I came up with some real prizes. Grin
I think Beck is cool (like the singer).
