Digby is awful, Darcy is awful.
If not Leo, how about Leon?

It sounds very “try-hard” to me. If you have a title, own loads of land and go shooting then go for it.
If not, I wouldn’t.

Digby was on my list of names for a boy. I also loved Diggory, Orson and Jago and Otto.

Not sure about Digby to be honest I’m on the fence.

How about Monty?
I know 2 brothers called Freddie and Monty it really suits them Smile

The Oasis song is Digsy, not Digby.

There is a Digby in the book Beau Geste, published in 1924. I remember avidly watching the tv adaptation in the early 80s.

I think it's a great name.

I know a baby digby

Spied · 17/02/2020 17:28

It's really bad.

I worked with a Digby, he would be in his late 30s now. One of the nicest people ever. Well respected all round.

Stickybeaksid · 17/02/2020 17:42

Digby Dragon??

TheTrollFairy · 17/02/2020 17:46

There was a Digby on Made in Chelsea (I know I know Blush) and he was a bit of a cheese-o so for that reason alone I would veto it!
I love the name Ernie for a boy!

Digby was an Old English Sheepdog in a film [The Biggest Dog in the World]. My friend's brother is called Digby and I always think of the dog whenever she mentions him! Smile

DapperChap · 17/02/2020 17:53

How about Zach? Or Wyatt?

atomicblonde30 · 17/02/2020 17:57

I must say Freddie and Dougie sound amazing together! I’m not keen on digby I’m afraid, sorry!

SteeperThanHell · 17/02/2020 18:02

As a child of the 70's I confess Digby takes me straight to Christmas Day watching The Biggest Dog in the World.
Sorry!

Beebumble2 · 17/02/2020 18:28

We have a Douglas (Dougie) fab name.
Although I am biased!

Awful. Reminds me of a big brown dog scratching his fleas.

caketiger · 17/02/2020 19:27

Digby the biggest dog in the world! Gosh I bet that dates me....

CheshireDing · 17/02/2020 19:37

Dougie makes me think of the TV programme Hey Douggie 😂

Digby is cool but does remind me of the old film too

We have a Monty, he is a very cool dude 😀 we also had Arlo, Otis on the list. I wanted Walt but DH said no (I still like it though).

I heard a boy called Gilbert when we were on holiday, I like that name too.

Armadilloboss · 17/02/2020 19:47

My surname is Rigby so definitely not for me! 😂

Davros · 17/02/2020 19:48

They're all dogs' names!

SirVixofVixHall · 17/02/2020 19:50

The Oasis song is Digsy’s Dinner, not Digby.

JKScot4 · 17/02/2020 19:50

Oh no, Digby Brown personal injury lawyers, their ad is on the radio in Scotland 🙄🙄
Also know a few dogs but no humans called this.
