Is Armadillo a good name for a baby boy?

[SoccerMomLauren]

It looks like a cute name. 😇

Crunchy on the outside, smooth on the inside... Armadillo

If its a girl then Capybara is lovely.

@Rewy

Nooo, he'd get called 'Porky' for short, which could be awkward if he's somewhat on teh larger side!

'Bongo' is kind of call OP, if you're looking for an animal theme. Or how about 'Iguana'?

its Holiday Armadillo!!

Awkward during the adolescent years since Armadillo in Spanish means 'helmet.'

just call it shit that was the name of an old boyfriends dog

Dime bars.

No.

Aardvark?

Check out the Pink Fairy Armadillo

I can't see this name and not think of Ross from friends gleefully announcing 'I'm the holiday armadillo' 🤣🤣🤣🤣

God it's going to date so badly. There are at least 3 Armadillos in DDs school. It will scream 2020s.

Mongoose would be great for a boy. Womongoose for a gril.

Pangolin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think Armadillo has a bit of a foreign feel, perhaps go for a more classic name?

Stag? Fox? Badger? Or even Owl, which is nice and short....

No

Soft on the inside crunchy on the outside.

Like Dime bars.

It's just as good a name as some of the normal names, like Jaden, Zayden, Brayden, Rayden, Dayden, Fayden....

Hedgehog is much more British- Armadillo is rather American

Aardvark?

Most kids are...

Awesome work MNHQ, lets acknowledge it's a troll thread and then just let it run anyway.

Can't wait to sign up for Mumsnet premium!

I have visions of Blackadder stomping round saying “Aardvark! It’s a bloody Aardvark!!”
