Not pregnant or ttc just pondering. What do people think of Moby (other than Dick)?

I met a very cool little boy who was called Mobius, after the German mathematician, Moby for short. It really suited him.

Oooo I like this

Moby Dick or the musician.

It sounds to me like the kind of thing celebs called their kids in the late 90s/early 00s. A bit I’m moving out of Primrose Hill to get my head together in a farmhouse in Somerset, where I will continue to take vast amounts of drugs but will also start making cheese.

Haha I love this

I immediately thought "What a moby!" 😁 One of Del Boy's phrases in Only Fools and Horse for a daft person lol

Moby the musician had that nickname because of being related to Herman Melville, if I remember correctly.

(although I do still like Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad)
