I've heard worse on the playground. At least they've spelt it properly not Bammbii or something silly (DD goes to school with an Edee and a Poppii Confused)

TheFairyCaravan · 31/01/2023 19:41

Absolutely ridiculous. Poor child.

Doesn’t really go with Fury though… it’s like Gentle War

Has she said she's going her the father's name?

misssunshine4040 · 31/01/2023 19:42

I knew a Bambi, she was about 45 and absolutely lovely. I always thought her name suited her and really unique

Wasn't Bambi a boy?

Adviceneeded200 · 31/01/2023 19:47

Reminds me of The Young Ones!

Second child Neil, third Jertzy!

The character was, but Bambi as a name is Italian and feminine.

The very wonderful midwife who helped to deliver my dd2 20 years ago was called Bambi. She was Malaysian I believe. For that reason alone I think it’s a beautiful name.

There is already a thread about this in active and genuinely who cares

A couple decades ago people said

Apple really

Cruis really

Star really

"Celebs" giving their kids an unusual name it's not new

And a few decades later those names are still justa as cringy

Don't shoot the mother! 😉

Oh no! You've brought it back now.
I thought I was over it but... well that's my sleep disturbed to night. Sad

Little Bambi fit in with her cousins- Valencia, Venezuela and three boys all called Prince

LaLuz7 · 31/01/2023 19:50

Should be illegal. I think Iceland has got the right idea

Elderflower14 · 31/01/2023 19:50

First thing I thought of was Sheila "Bambi" Caffell.. 😔

Child abuse.

Pack it in.

And Athena. The boys don’t go by Prince either, they use their second names.

MysteryBelle · 31/01/2023 19:52

The fact is, it’s not your call.

For consolation, think of the nicknames she’ll be given like namby pamby bambi 😂

NannyGythaOgg · 31/01/2023 19:52

I think Angel and Princess/Prince are worse.

Names generally are a collection of letters that may or may not have other meanings. In the case of Angel etc the others meanings are franky ridiculous for a live non royal person.

MysteryBelle · 31/01/2023 19:53

Also bimbo Bambi. But anyone who does that to her would be a bully.

I actually like the name Bambi!

Hopefully Bambi will be allowed to attend school past the age of 11.

It’s what Molly Mae and Tommy Fury have named their daughter. So, sadly, I can confirm it’s real.

Lets hope the poor lamb doesn’t have the bandy legs and knobbly knees I had growing up…

I had to Google them to know who they were. So no it's not a name I like but it's hardly going to affect my life.

IHeartGeneHunt · 31/01/2023 19:56

I knew a drag artiste who called himself Bambi Dextrous, years ago.

Well yes, being as her parents both did. Please don’t just take from the DM or what Paris & Tyson have done for their children as what these will do for theirs. Tommy grew up with his mother, not John.

Shitty Nicknames aren’t reserved for unusual names. The worst affected in my school were Annie & Ruby.

Has she said she's going her the father's name?

Yes
