To change my name?

[bootolou]

I've name changed just in case as this could be outing but tbh I bet lots of people with my name use Mn.

My name is boo (yes, really )
and tbh i've always disliked it, it reminds me of those cockerpoo/doodletzu/whateverpoo dogs for some reason
By mistake a friend uses english as a second language called me Lou.
And it just felt really right?
I like how it's similar to boo. Wibu to change my name??

Hi Lou

I've baked you this cake for your birthday.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to lou. Happy birthday dear lou louuuuuuu, happy birthday to you

Please post this thread as a warning in all those 'yooneek' baby name threads that are increasing in frequency on MN!

If you like it, then go for it. Personally I wouldn't choose Lou as it sounds like a toilet but as you are over 30 I imagine playground taunting isn't an issue any more. If it were me I would take some time to pick an awesome new name that I loved. I like Boo though!

Ulrika’s daughter is Bo

Pronounced Boo?

Why would Bo be pronounced Boo?

Pretty sure Bo is a scandi (swedish?) name which is pronounced Boo. Given Ulrika's name, I'm sure she's scandi. So that makes sense.

@MolyHolyGuacamole

I would change it in a heartbeat. Horrible for someone to name a child Boo.

No, it isn’t.

What an awful thing to say to any other Boos reading this.

This is why the Swedish Linguaphone ended up in a drawer.
