My friend has a Poppy Boo - sweet as a middle name I think ...

Hi, My dd's nickname is Boo. She has always been called it and even answers to it. She is 4 by the way

My mother's friend has a gorgeous Weimeraner dog called Boo.

I've run across several redneck, hick men nicknamed Boo.

Scorpio! It just is a natural progression of the name!

PaulaYatesbiggestFan · 05/02/2008 20:21

ds nick name

just for the record it winds him sky high ( now aged 11) when i call out in shops 'Boo...Booby???? .....Boobs' and I do

I call my goddaughter Boo

katz · 05/02/2008 20:19

the little girl in monsters inc is called Boo because thats what she answers when asked what her name is, but i think its more of a monsters go 'boo' rather than her name iswim

scorpio1 · 05/02/2008 20:19

Boo-boos is my ds2 nickname, he answers to it better than his real name! IMO Boo is ok as a second name, say Millie Boo or something.

DD2's nickname is Boo - was very strange when jamie Oliver named his daughter, as her middle name is Daisy.

PaulaYatesbiggestFan · 05/02/2008 20:15

i have a ds called it!

devonsmummy · 05/02/2008 20:12

There was a boy at my school called Boo - i quite like it

HonoriaGlossop · 05/02/2008 18:58

Have to agree with Rosa Lux.

It's ok as a nickname for a little girl. that's about it though.

littlelamb · 05/02/2008 17:59

I know a Boo

She is in her 30s though. It is her real name too. Rather suits her in a sloaney sort of way

RosaLuxOnTheBrightSideOfLife · 05/02/2008 14:52

I think I would have disowned me parents if they had called me Boo. A name that is a ready-made joke for school and will prevent you from being taken seriously at work. It's downright cruel.

littlerach · 05/02/2008 14:51

100x, I know a Blue too.
Well, a couple of years ago I did.

scottishmummy · 05/02/2008 14:49

jamie Oliver has a daisy boo

fryalot · 05/02/2008 14:44

Dd2's nickname is Boo.

Kind of wanted to make it her real, actual name but didn't quite have the nerve. Wish I had though.

Wolfgirl · 05/02/2008 14:44

both my LO's are called baba boo. When I havent seen them for a while, or say... in the morning when they wake up, I screech out, ""where's my babba boooooooo's" they love it. and my DS now 4, loves it when I tell him about his days when he was a tiny newborn baba boo.

way too sentimental, but heck... making the most of it while I can.

What was Bubble's little lost twin called? Was he/she Boo? (sorry for not remembering if a boy or agirl and possibly getting name wrong.. )
