It reminders of creepy old man- Stan, insert any creepy older male name here

FayCarew · 23/04/2024 18:47

It's fine. Fits in with names like Frank.

ShoveItUpYourArseMargaret · 22/04/2024 18:39

I love it too. Also love ‘Frank’.

Terrible

I was a student nurse on a maternity placement in 1987 and someone named their baby Stanley. It was a really unusual choice at that time. Now I just think 'cup'!

I know a 13yo Stanley. He is awesome and his name suits him perfectly.

Have you read the book holes?

Stanley Yelnats is the hero of the story
Your child will no doubt read that book in a few years

I like it but also associate it with Eminem.

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 22/04/2024 16:43

No not for me but if you love it go for it

Firsttimebabymummy · 22/04/2024 16:39

Lovely name :)

cheapskatemum · 21/04/2024 23:01

Love it. My Grandad was called Stanley & he was an amazing guy.

HalfBloodPrincess · 21/04/2024 22:50

I have an almost 20 year old Stanley. He loves his name! I’ve always had lots of compliments on it.

mamaduckbone · 21/04/2024 18:51

Great name. Go for it! It would have been on out shortlist but our surname starts with S and it sounded silly.

IcyLilacPoet · 21/04/2024 15:54

I know a 30 year old Stanley who is really quite cool! Not one of mine, but extended family. I say go for it!

WetBandits · 21/04/2024 15:53

Oh I like it! I know a lot of elderly chaps called Stanley through work and they are all lovely. Definitely due a revival!

Sunnnybunny72 · 21/04/2024 15:52

Dreadful

Lulu1919 · 21/04/2024 15:03

I know two ...
Baby and a toddler

Holstomorrow · 21/04/2024 14:37

Oh yes! Stanley is fab.

Jasmin1971 · 21/04/2024 14:35

Love it 😀

Stuckmomma · 21/04/2024 13:51

I have a 4 year old Stanley. The name really suits him. All his friends call him Stan which he loves and thinks is very cool.

TeddyBeans · 21/04/2024 13:36

Would have picked it for my son 🥰 unfortunately his dad didn't like it. Lovely name imo!

MistyGreenAndBlue · 21/04/2024 13:35

I went straight for "Ogden"
Showing my age 😂

I think it's awful. Sorry

AspiringChatBot · 21/04/2024 13:34

Makes me think of penguins, or Dorothy Zbornak's husband from Golden Girls.

I think it's kind of edgy/out there for a girl - it was Barack Obama's mother's name but she always went by Anne.
