Cute Chuck E

Cute Chucky?

Wanna be a MIL to that??

MrsMattie · 12/03/2009 16:48

...or strangely, Chuck D from Public Enemy also springs to mind! Not so redneck

MrsMattie · 12/03/2009 16:47

redneck

Fimbo · 12/03/2009 16:47

Hmm, i think the overall result is a resounding no way!! I'm quite surprised but not in any way offended, i actually wouldn't want to give a name that would make most people feel sorry for ds! But me and dh both really like it! I thought it was more common in America, maybe it was in past times.. Ah well, will keep thinking...

Gossip Girl is the first thing that comes to mind.

Don't be daft! Give him a proper name and use Chuck as a nickname if you really must. Although there are far better nicknames for Charles...

Gawd - No definately not!

You're kidding.

MmeLindt · 12/03/2009 06:40

Puke is the first thing that comes to mind.

Sorry.

barbie1 · 12/03/2009 05:49

no sorry.....first thought were ey up chuck too!

nooka · 12/03/2009 04:53

Awful. In fact yuk. As you said you could take it! I don't like it as a nickname (ey up chuck) but as a given name, just really bad.

solowitch · 11/03/2009 23:53

Nooooooooooo!

Absolutely love it. If only dd had been a ds I would have used it

fin42 · 11/03/2009 23:43

I would think Chuck was a nn for Charlie/Charles, why not use the as his real name and then he can choose?

ninedragons · 11/03/2009 23:29

Hard to take seriously.

A friend of mine had to do a stint in one of the American offices of her company, where she worked with a man called Chuck Spears.

LaDiDaDi · 11/03/2009 23:29

Horrid.

Tidey · 11/03/2009 23:28

First thought was 'Upchuck', then thought of the character from Pushing Daisies, but that's short for Charlotte.

sarah76 · 11/03/2009 23:25

There's quite a nasty character on Gossip Girl called Chuck, but more importantly upChucking is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear it.

BTW, I'm American and honestly NEVER knew anyone called Chuck! Very few called Charles, and they used Charlie as a nickname.

theres a Chuc in my daughter's class at secondary school, and i remember when she was 11 and got her class photo she had us guessing people's names from their initials - we got to Chuc and the clue she gave us was 'It's like a rubbish throw'

no from me
