Title says it all really. Duckie is out.
Second favourite is Spike.
I also really like Dot and Dusty.

Wilder? Hunter? Rocky? Butch? All solid options.

Gotta be Sharptooth for a boy or Treestar for a girl.

CheekyHobson · 04/10/2024 22:15

I can’t work out whether this baby is meant to be a boy or a girl. Surely Spike and Dot are not interchangeable.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately saw the connection. 🦖🦕🦖🦕

I’m so sorry but all the names are pets names. Please dont cqll your child that. They will be bullied

Name changed for this OP as would be outing. I have a little girl called Dusty and she bloody rocks her name. Thankfully the real world isn't like mumsnet. Absolutely nobody cares about her name, and if they're commenting behind my back, I couldn't give a shit. She's beautiful, smart and strong and she's the most wonderful Dusty girl the world has ever seen!!!

I love the name Dusty.

I've got a Dottie and two other daughters with unusual names that mumsnet people would probably roll their eyes at, but funnily enough they sometimes appear on the threads of "names I wanted to use but wasn't brave enough" !

MumonabikeE5 · 04/10/2024 22:11

There’s a Dusty in our neighbourhood I think it’s pretty good.

MumChp · 04/10/2024 22:10

Dot. Yes.
The rest no.

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 04/10/2024 22:10

Well, Spike Milligan was a clever and funny man. If you're a fan of his, go for it.

menopausalmare · 04/10/2024 22:10

No, again.

The vampire is hotter!

No disagreement from me there. I'm currently on S6 on a rewatch

imnotwhoyouthinkiam · 04/10/2024 22:09

DCs dad wanted to call DS1 Spike. DS (20) told me he's very pleased I said no.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 04/10/2024 22:05

Think I had a hamster called Spike once!!!

@tulip8 See pic I posted at 21.48 😵‍💫 . He still gives me the colliewobbles

SocksShmocks · 04/10/2024 22:05

I like Spike. Not keen on Duckie but have you considered Birdie?

Moreteaandchocolate · 04/10/2024 22:05

ItsVeryHyacinthBucket · 04/10/2024 21:46

Literally love, buy yourself some chickens or some guinea pigs and name them at will, until you get all of this out of your system.

😂

CavalierApproach · 04/10/2024 22:05

Dusty Springfield is a cool association to have, but I’m not sure people in younger generations to come will really know of her
