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

My honest opinion to the question you have asked is it sounds absolutely awful.

GreyhoundG1rl · 09/07/2021 14:32

Oh, please... I really hope you're taking the piss, tbh. Nobody could actually think this is a suitable name for their child.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 09/07/2021 14:32

you should go with Buckwheat, then Bucklie for short. or Wheatie

DocDog · 09/07/2021 14:30

Buckfast?

ILoveShula · 09/07/2021 14:29

Speaking of Buckminster, howw about Buddleigh, Budd for short, or Buzz short for Buzzard.

DinaofCloud9 · 09/07/2021 14:20

Awful name and the spelling makes it even worse. It's so ugly sounding.

Mpsister · 09/07/2021 14:17

Nice try 🤣🤣🤣

Buckminster Fuller was a famous American futurist. I read some of his books back in the day. His first name was Richard though.

30degreesandmeltinghere · 09/07/2021 14:06

Surely it Buckminster??
Buck for short..
According to ice age anyway!!

ILoveShula · 09/07/2021 13:49

Buckleigh might be a more refined spelling.
Or go for Buckley's original spelling of Bokkeley.

or for that unique touch Buck-Lee.

I'm fairly sure he or she would be the only one in their school.

Anoisagusaris · 09/07/2021 13:48

Buckley is a surname. Bucklie is just stupid.

Cavalierqueen · 09/07/2021 13:48

Sorry but for me in a league with Jaxon

DocDog · 09/07/2021 13:47

Awful.

BillyShears · 09/07/2021 13:47

That is chavtastic, sorry @JLE93. The spelling somehow makes it worse too- Buckley is bad enough but the ie makes it somehow more awful. Please don’t name a kid this. What about Bradley?

Mamamamasaurus · 09/07/2021 13:47

It's a name for a rabbit. Please don't.

Maddox33 · 09/07/2021 13:45

It's a nice name for a pet but not a child.

Imagine the playground taunts.

I was given an absolutely hideous name that rhymed with something unpleasant and I still remember the chanting. I quickly changed to using my middle name and now leave my first name off any documents.

Sorry mam, I know you named me after your favourite auntie.

Germolenequeen · 09/07/2021 13:44

It's the name of my friend's pony 😬

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 09/07/2021 13:43

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba Hmm

tootiredtobother · 09/07/2021 13:43

good name for a Thellwell pony sorry....

Dora26 · 09/07/2021 13:43

Up there with Jaxon ie awful! Sorry

SoupDragon · 09/07/2021 13:42

You never come back to comment on the threads you start anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️
