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

all names are made up all words are made up

Some are more made up than others.

Well... I guess my 5 minute bucklie idea is a no go from all the horrible comments 🤣 i actually saw it on a post somewhere and thought it was alright.. and I'm wanting something ie to follow my other children's name endings. Well thanks for all your advice and I won't be calling him Bucklie or buck as I have now been put off🤣

Or just call him buck, that’s actually quite cute.

@Eviethyme

To Me it sounds like something from hill's have eyes lik a child born of incest
See? You don't get this reaction with James or Peter 😂
want2bemum · 09/07/2021 15:07

Honestly I'm not all that keen, it sounds more like a pet's name to me.

statetrooperstacey · 09/07/2021 15:07

No mate. No. But don’t feel embarrassed I seriously thought about calling one of my kids tiger 😂 and he couldn’t have pulled it off!
Buster? It’s a bit better, not much but a bit! 😂😂

There is a town called Buckley in North Wales.

midsomermurderess · 09/07/2021 15:02

It puts me in mind if Buckie, Buckfast.

ILoveShula · 09/07/2021 15:02

Buckley is near Mold and Mold is the nicer (IMO) of the two towns.

Warrickdaviesasplates · 09/07/2021 14:48

I've only ever seen it spelt as Buckley. Is there a reason you've opted for the "ie" spelling?

I think people would get used to it and there are a lot of these surname as first name type names at the moment so maybe it won't stand out from the trend that much.

It's not a name I particularly like, but I wouldn't be overly surprised to hear it especially against the type of names at a lot of the baby groups we attend, think Archer, Hunter, Grayson, Harrison etc Buckley would almost blend in.

Buckaroo!

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 09/07/2021 14:46

@ILoveShula

I know someone whose surname is Crapper. How about that if you like surnames as first names?

Or if you like place names as first names, may I offer:

Belvoir
Penistone
Scunthorppe
Bell End

AfterSchoolWorry · 09/07/2021 14:38

Why the 'ie' at the end? Why not just Buckley?

I quite like stalin and goring personally 🤣🤣🤣
