Digby?

95 replies

It may be the hormones/ insomnia talking but I think I may like the name Digby .

DH and I both like the whole old name thing and have been pretty settled on Wilbur for a while now but I am suddenly having a wobble!

What do you think?

There used to be a big psychiatric hospital around here called Digby hospital, so when I was a kid it was used as an insult [not by myself] "you're such a Digby".
Much prefer Wilbur.

I like both.

I like Digby and prefer it to Wilbur.

I have a friend with a Digby, it's a fabulous name!

frasersmummy · 28/01/2010 09:11

I have never commented on a name thread before

but I saw this and thought oh my god digby is a big shaggy dog..

think of the playground

If I heard someone talking about Digby, I would assume it was a labrador Wilbur is great though.

well I'm sure I'd raise my eyebrows if I actually met one, but I do think it's kind of cute.

Also like diggory as a similar alternative, and at least that doesn't have the doggy connection.

Ooh! I forgot about Digby! Years ago it was on my list of 'boys names I like the sound of'. Two of those names are on our shortlist, and I completely forgot to float Digby with DH!

Thanks for the reminder, I think it's a fab name!

I've always like Digory. Or is it is Diggory? From the Magician's Nephew.

Mumcentreplus · 28/01/2010 08:38

girlsyearapart · 28/01/2010 08:30

Thank you, so far I am still on the fence! My DS has helped a little - said the name to him and he is nowshouting 'Diggidy-dog' which I am not keen on!

Stick with Wilbur.

I love Digby! Don't like Wilbur nearly as much, but Digby is fantastic.

I think if you were up for Wilbur, then Digby is fine (they are from the same sort of genre to me).
