Opinions on Weber?

Dh likes if we have a boy, I’m not so sure.

You've taken me back over 20 years now.

Mind you Derrida and Foucault would also be excellent cat names. Imagine the neighbours faces 😂

Chilldonaldchill · 23/07/2021 22:31

I had no idea this was a BBQ manufacturer.
I thought of the German composer and would automatically pronounce it VAY - buh.

RevolutionRadio · 23/07/2021 22:31

They make car parts

sauceyorange · 23/07/2021 22:31

There's always Marx obviously, but for some reason I think it's a cat name

Bronowski? Mead?

Modern sociology is all fwah fwah french names so not as good IMO

Carrott21 · 23/07/2021 22:29

Durkheim is lovely Grin

I can't remember any more A Level Sociology!!

Itsjustricemichael · 23/07/2021 22:29

You can't condemn him to a life time of barbecue jokes surely

sauceyorange · 23/07/2021 22:27

What about Durkheim?

user1493494961 · 23/07/2021 22:24

Awful.

FayeFayeFayeFayeFaye · 23/07/2021 22:23

BBQs.

CanofCant · 23/07/2021 22:23

Aha! I thought of Max Weber too!

SilverOtter · 23/07/2021 22:22

Hearing test😂

TheDogsMother · 23/07/2021 22:17

BBQ. Thinking of buying one actually.

Zilla1 · 23/07/2021 22:15

German for weaver? Does he intend the German pronunciation, OP (VayBur or thereabouts?). Wouldn't be high on my list for boy's names.

00100001 · 23/07/2021 22:07

I have no idea how you expect that word to be pronounced.

Mrspimplepopper · 23/07/2021 22:07

It's a bloody BBQ

Carrott21 · 23/07/2021 22:06

Or having webbed toes.

Carrott21 · 23/07/2021 22:06

Definitely sociologist

idontlikealdi · 23/07/2021 22:06

Bbq

Velvetbee · 23/07/2021 22:05

No

OnlyTheLangOfTheTitberg · 23/07/2021 22:05

Sorry OP, I think it’s quite ugly, and it’s not obvious how it’s pronounced.

Normandy144 · 23/07/2021 22:04

Sorry first thought is BBQ. We have one and they're great bbq's but I don't think it makes a great name for a person.

PaulaPetunia · 23/07/2021 22:04

I would read it as VAY-buh.

Ramekin · 23/07/2021 22:04

How would you pronounce it?

I think of Max Weber.

Jijithecat · 23/07/2021 22:03

Like the German sociologist?!
