So today at work I came across a boy called Buster!

I've only ever heard it as a name for dogs so now I'm wondering whether I've missed something.

It wasn't said once like in a jokey way. The boy was repeatedly referred to as Buster.

One of my DCs has a classmate called Buster, I'm pretty sure it's his given name, it appears on all school lists etc. I wonder if we all know the same child?

It's used as a real name but it's nit my cup of tea...

We call dd 'doink' all the time as she at times, has mad curly hair like doink the clown from wwe. I really hope no-one thinks it is her real name! Saying that, ds is known as 'boy' pretty much all the time i've heard of that being used as a 'real' name Shock

Jake Wood (plays Max Branning in Eastenders) has a son called Buster, I thought it was a nickname when I first heard but then realised it wasn't.

Crikey. It's a bloody awful name (sorry anyone who has called their child that). Not in the same lieagu as Minge, but that's a girls name anyway.

I think it's a fab name, I very much wanted to call DS2 Buster, but ExP vetoed in (in much the same way I had vetoed calling him Cole after Joe Cole Hmm).

It would have really suited him as a baby too, not so much now that he is 12!
