To ask your opinion of Arnie / Arnold

[clairewilliams999]

What do you think of the name for a little boy?

Schwartzenegger. Sorry.

My friend has one, it really suits him, there are now 2 others, ( who stole it!)

I nearly called my son Arnaud so i like it

What about something similar like Harold or Howard - Harry/Howie?

Both names are great for a boy, friend of a friend recently had a baby boy and he is Reginald known as Reggie. Frank is a good boys name too.
Good luck.

Dislike intensely.

He'll always be back

Don't like either, sorry !

But lots of people didn't like the name I wanted for my son and I always feel annoyed that I entertained other people's opinions.

If you love the name, go for it.

Arnold is really great. Love it. As FK says, you'll always get people who don't like your choice... Go for what you like.

Synonymous with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sorry.

I personally don't like either, sorry.

Arnold is a popular surname in my area (and family).

I like it. I had a friend called Arnold at university and always thought it was quite a cool name. Not deliberately quirky or 'unique' but uncommon nonetheless. I'd consider it for a future DS!

Afraid I don't like it.

Arnold Rimmer. That is all.

Don't like it. However, it is what you think not others which matters.

It would have been my dd's name had she been a boy. Statistically it's very rare these days.

However, having a dd with an uncommon name (Xanthe) and having to repeat her name three times, correct mispronounciations and spell it almost EVERYTIME I introduce her to someone I don't think I can also face having a son where I have to say 'arnie, yes like schwarzenegger'.

"Shut it football hhead " was the first thing that came to mind sorry.

"Rimmer. It was the way she said it. Rimmer. To rhyme with 'scum'."

"Arnold Judas Rimmer?"

Really don't like old man names

"Get to ze chopper"😉

Seriously its your baby your choice. You decide if you can ignore the obvious associations and do whatever you want. Not my cup of tea too 'old mannish' for me but that's me not you.
