So, Buddy?

[allieballiebee]

What do you reckon?

Personally, I dislike it.

What breed?

I quite like it, used to have a lovely little dog called Buddy

Terrible.

To give him the full title. Buddy Bear Maurice Oliver.

No no no no no. No.

Buddy 'olly!!! BO.....
oh dear!

I didn't think they could top Petal Blossom Rainbow,but I was wrong

Seriously, the bear and Maurice bit? Buddy is bad enough but, FFS Bear Maurice. course he won't be teased at school. Much.

As if the kids haven't got a hard enough time, having to live with Jamie Oliver, they get ridiculous names too... Daisy Boo Pamela?!

Oh for God's sake.

I very nearly almost considered Buddy for DC3 as am due before Christmas, Elf is my favourite Christmas film and DH likes Sonny which I don't think is far off Buddy. I also have a surname beginning with O though and B.O is mean.
kreecher I would imagine they will go to schools with Apples, Coco's, Scouts and the like so Buddy will not stand out so much.

Etymologically speaking, Buddy may come from the Irish word for penis 'bod' pronounced 'bud' and possibly used as a derisive term for a boss by Irish labourers, just as 'Sir' was ('sor', pronounced 'sir', meaning 'louse'), or maybe from 'bodach', meaning a churl, a clown, a thorn in the side, a bogeyman of sorts.

Buddy bear, that's not going to be cringe worthy at 18, 6''2 and 16 stone, is it? Poor sod.

FFS. It's none of anyone's business apart from the parents

No, it's not to my taste but WTF. Should they have held a referendum?

Annnnndddd... why does Jooooools always have to look so bloody fresh faced a perfect the day after, ffs.

There's no pleasing you lot! I thought the 'brave' option was good? Or are we all agreed that a top 10 name would be a much more safe? Oliver, Jack or Buddy? Mmmmm let me think .....

i really like it, much nicer than his girls names, poppy and daisy, meh, petal just strange. not sure about bear tho

I like it as a nick name, but Buddy is a bit like a put down. Now see here sonny /buddy.

It was never going to be Marcus or Patrick or anything like that I guess.

Imagine the poor lad saying his vows on his wedding day, having to say his whole name. Seriously, I'd rip my parents a new one for that!

Fermina - it's a discussion forum. More specifically, it's the Baby Names forum. Babies names will get discussed!

.... and nobody calls their baby Buddy if they're paranoid that their choice might be............ discussed

"On the streets" (as it were) Buddy is a popular greeting at the moment, like geez and bruv.

I like the Bear bit though.

He's going to change his name to Jack when he is 18. Bet you...

It's absolutely horrendous to name a child Buddy Bear. It sounds like a name for the family pet.

What is it with parents who aren't even content with unusual names, they have go ludicrous?!

What would any grown man prefer? Buddy Bear or John, Mark, David, etc. Exactly!

He will be called Bud which is a bit US thus i don't like it Buddy is sweet though and they are hardly going to live a conventional life as they are celebs and mega rich so there will be plenty of similar names in their contemporaries at school and socially.

It;s not to my taste personally.
