Ferdinand

[nonsenses]

With the nn Ferdie. WDYT?

I like Fernando better

But I am an F1 nut

I rather like it.

I love it!

A bit long, but I do like it.

Horrid.

Ooh, interesting name. I like it, actually. Makes a refreshing change from all the little Freddies, Zacs, Sams, Jacks etc.

I think we should all be encouraging more name diversity, it makes life much more interesting. And I think Ferdidand sounds very grown up/elegant, while Ferdie can be his nickname when he's smaller.

I have a great uncle (in Germany) called Ferdinanad. Sounds a little old fashioned to my ears but seems to follow the trend, with 'old mens' names' becoming in vogue again.

Ferdinand is a good solid, classic name. And very underused at the moment, so that's another positive imo.

sorry, Ferdinand (not Ferdinanad)

Another nn is Nando.

Nando just makes me think of chicken, but Ferdinand is lovely.

Oh no, please don't

Why , Dreamdolly ?

I'm sorry I just can't bear it, the look of it, the sound of it - I think Ferdie is sweet but Ferdinand, just no. Sorry, tis only 1 womans opinion! And opinions is what the OP was after! Not sure why you are confused rachel.

Oh, I see. I guess I was surprised why you felt SO strongly and sad about (what seems to me a perfectly normal) name. And no, I don't have a Ferdinand .

It's a little too 'crown prince' for me...

As in Rio? ...No, absolutely not!
