Balthazar or Balto for short... Do we like it?

Balto is the name of a husky in a movie I think. What about nn Taz if you’re set on the name?

GobbledyGeek · 30/11/2022 22:16

It’s a great name, very underused.
It could be shortened to Zar

No

Balthazar was an angel in Supernatural. I like the name.

I don't think he is actually but he sounds like one of the demoms - this was my first thought.

The demon was Belzebub, no?

No. I’m now singing “We three kings of Orient are….”. It will forever have that connection for me.

Very festive

Batinthehouse · 30/11/2022 21:04

I love it, wasn't brave enough to use it though!

ShakeYourFeathers · 30/11/2022 20:50

I actually really like it

Lots of options for nick names and different

It's thoroughly unappealing to me. I can't find a single good thing to say about it (and I like long unusual boys names - I'm not one of those posters who thinks all boys should be called George and Edward)

I love the name. One of my kids said he'd call his son this (he's a teenager so hopefully won't be happening for a long while!) Better than my other son who said he'd name his son Roger. Grin

Who remembers a film called balto about the dog going to collect the Medicine? Anyone

RandomMusings7 · 30/11/2022 20:20

We hate it.

Too clunky and biblical

purplecorkheart · 30/11/2022 20:20

I actually like the name but honest would not give it to a child. The teasing and bullying they would get would be awful and I think it would be cruel to put it on them. Sorry
