Is Armadillo a good name for a baby boy?

[SoccerMomLauren]

It looks like a cute name. 😇

It's a strong name

No this is ridiculous sorry you will be setting him up for a life of bullying in my opinion

Are you really that desperate to get a story from mumsnet into the Daily Mail? 😂

I don't think the thread has got as high as the standards expected by the Daily Mail.

‘Oh my gahhd, it’s a bleedin’ armadilla!’

No. Just no.

Terrible name!

I think of the Friends episode with 'the holiday Armadillo'.

He will be called Arm a dick ed

Really?????? Please no.

How about Tyrannosaurus Rex ? Obviously change Rex to Rexina if it turns out to be a girl

No. It's a nice name for an animal though.

Does anyone else really fancy a Dime Bar?

@BumBurnerBum

The Dime Bar

ARMAAADILLLLOOO advert was exactly what came to mind

This has got to be a joke?

Who would do this to a child

Like calling your child Kangaroo

Pangolin is better.

Giant-Ant-Eater is marvellous!

Armadillo is a nice name.

For an actual armadillo.

Armadillo is a fab name. Really different and unique. I would use the original spelling Armadyllo though otherwise everyone will just think of the animal.

We need a singalong

Not as classic as Balonz I grant you but it does have a nice ring

Wildebeest could be Billy for short.

Armdillo will get nn Amadildo

It’s a bit pretentious, I’d go for Turtle

Smooth on the outside
Crunchy on the inside

It's a better second name, OP, if it follows Holiday....

Love it. Dinosaur is better though. If he's a bit chubby, go for Elephant.

Are you on drugs?

Yes, go for it. Choose a word that you don't know the meaning of and label your whole family, so that everyone forms an opinion if you all, before ever meeting any of you.

There are lots of others you could choose too, simply because you like the sound of the word.

Isn't it always worth checking what words mean and considering if you want your child to be associated with that word? Just wondering...
