Aibu?

[ChristmasTrolleyRage]

I like to have something unusual, but easily recognisable.

I already have 3 DDs and a DS , but I have decided to go a little bit more unusual. I just think it rolls off the tongue well, and seems it would suit either gender.

It seems to fit well - I can imagine calling it out in the soft-play area, but it also seems appropriate for when it's working as an UN Special Envoy.

Wondering what MNers think?

I am also considering the creative alternative spelling of Ayboo - please let me which you prefer.

TIA.

I prefer Yanbu myself.

I think you should spell it Kaye-booh (silent K.)

Yanbu has a definite ring to it! I like it.

Ooooh - hopes for twins.

bump (metaphorically)

I suggest Yaboo, Yob for short. Has a kind of "Love-a-Hoody" ring to it, don't you think?

Oh yes.

See I was set on Aibu, but this thread is opening my eyes.

Love it. It's getting very popular though. There are two in my DS's class.

Which spelling do they have yellow?

Dare I suggest it's a bit chavvy?

Loads of Aibu/ Yabu round here. What about Dilligaf as a nice alternative? Dilly for short?

Starts new short list:

Ayboo
Yaboo
Yanboo
Dilligaf (nn Dilly)
Iyswim
Afaik

Any more?

The two I know have the traditional spelling Aibu. Much classier I think.

What about Poas? Due a revival I reckon.

I like the Poas one Yellow!

Yes I'm definitely looking for classy - how very dare SNF suggest it's Cahvvy?

how about boak ?

oh ffs, another one who just has to change the spelling from the traditional!

ayboo is chav and we all know it

See you outside Missie?

You missed Yanbu off your list

Also you might consider Imo or Imho as a creative spelling?

Boo is much nicer, or Bu for a simpler spelling.

Love it. Means Beautiful Dream in Lapp, I think.

Smiley is a cute name - have you thought of that?

I like fwink myself. It has a certain je ne sais quoi about it. Or fenvy if you want a vaguely floral name but wish to avoid the usual Ivy, Fenella blahs.

What do you think about fangry mathanx?

Not sure it rolls off the tongue as easily as some others do.

I think you may have problems at school iyswim, do you not think people will chant "yes yes yes" at your darling dc?

I think he may also be called, bu, which is bloody unreasonable of children but you know what they can be like.

I personally prefer Ianbu. I am not being unreasonable in suggesting an alternative am I?

No, YANBU blackeyeds.

I like Ianbu, it's a little but Shakespearical.

little bit

ffs.

I see what you mean about Fangry and Fwink. I'd like to suggest Fanjo as an alternative.

Ianbu has definitely got those literary connotations. However, if you are seriously considering this, I think you need to question your own cultural connections and identity. If you lack the associated learned and enlightened traits, I fear that it may be regarded as chavvy.
