Why not?

My DD went to school with a Stumpy...seriously

howsicklyarsekissy · 09/04/2020 17:35

Awe it's gross please don't

Bloomburger · 09/04/2020 17:36

Duck Billed Platypus would be far better.

Thanks OP that gave me a laugh to brighten up my day. Can’t believe so many took it seriously.

AgeLikeWine · 09/04/2020 17:36

Armadillo is nice, but it’s quite popular these days, so how about Ollidamara which is Armadillo backwards. Lots of girls are called Naveah, which is heaven backwards, so it totally works and isn’t at all chavvy.

Bigjigsaw · 09/04/2020 17:36

No no no. Please think of your child going to school, the teasing he will get. Again no no no.

TheGirlWithAPrince · 09/04/2020 17:38

Im pretty sure its a fake post (i surely hope)

TheMustressMhor · 09/04/2020 17:38

Which idiot celeb called his kid Jermajesty?

I thought that was grim.

HandfulOfFlowers · 09/04/2020 17:38

Depends on the surname. Armadillo Castanucci yes, Armadillo Braithwaite 😂😂

Neoflex · 09/04/2020 17:40

Think you should go for Armageddon instead

Feelingsolost1 · 09/04/2020 17:40

No sorry, its an awful name for a child.

ButterflyBitch · 09/04/2020 17:41

C’mon people, if you can get kids called Wolf, Bear and Tiger then why not Armadillo?
It’s a great name Grin

😂😂😂😂

helgahelga · 09/04/2020 17:41

@armadildo is better. Smile

helgahelga · 09/04/2020 17:43

@TheMustressMhor

Jermajesty is the son of Jermaine Jackson.

What were they thinking?!

BringMeSunshineInMyLife · 09/04/2020 17:44

Meerkat is unusual.

iklboo · 09/04/2020 17:44

How about Wallaby? Wally for short.

Wobbegong has a nice ring to it.

DeeCeeCherry · 09/04/2020 17:44

Armadillo-Balonz for that uber-cool 'so different' effect.

MrsFionaCharming · 09/04/2020 17:46

I don’t know, as a previous poster said, it sounds like someone who projects a hard exterior and doesn’t allow anyone to see their softer, inner self. I don’t think you should give your son a name that promotes such toxic masculinity. Maybe consider sea-horse?

GetawayfromthatWelshtart · 09/04/2020 17:46

ummmm.... how about no?

Is Armadillo a good name for a baby boy?
FiveFootTwoEyesOfBlue · 09/04/2020 17:47

No, just no, don't saddle your child with such a name.

I much prefer Warthog.

NYCDreaming · 09/04/2020 17:48

Lovely! Dilly for short Smile

ErrolTheDragon · 09/04/2020 17:50

I'm sure someone has said this, but he'd need a thick skin.

I'd suggest Timothy instead. (If you don't know why then it's high time you read all the Arthur Ransome books)

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 09/04/2020 17:55

Duck Billed Platypus would be far better.

Echidna would be good for a girl.
(Kidney for short?)

MadCattery · 09/04/2020 17:59

Anaconda for a girl. Annie for short!
