Cuthbert?

[birdofthenorth]

DH loves this, partly due to St Cuthbert & his links to the North East!

I am less sure but quite like it, due to Anne of Green Gables (smile)

What do you think? Cute or awful?!

Sorry - it makes me think of Walter and the softies from the Beano. Just a bit, well weak I think. Bert is good as a nickname though.

Just lovely - classic but so underused. I love it.

I don't like it at all. Sorry.

Scroll about two-thirds of the way down. Sorry, it's probably a local and "old" connection and nothing to worry about unless you move to Dundee

Hugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and the other one I can't quite remember.

It wouldn't be my own choice, but it's not awful, IMO.

Mind you, my DDad was a Walter....

oh no... don't go there... no

My granddad is a cuthbert and is one hell of a fine upstanding man, a true gent. Great name!

Grub (that's to Springforward by the way).

Not sure - I loved Anne of Green Gables too, but it just feels like a name for gentler times, IYKWIM?

I don't like it. At all. I think it sounds stuffy and a bit...weak. How about something equally traditional like Ted or Ernie?

P.S was at the sinking of the Bismarck - not weak at all.

I'd lve to like t but i'm sorrt, i really don't, and Bert is really bad too.

For strong NE connections, what about Aidan, Bede or Chad?

Erm, no. It will get shortened to Bert or Bertie if he is lucky, and much worse if he isn't. Imagine him using it at fifteen and twenty five not as a five month old or five year old.

I think it's great, a fabulous old saint's name.

Awful, really awful.

NO.

I like unusual names. But not this one.

Sorry, but it's a no from me,

No, I wouldn't use it, sorry. It's from the Beano, it's the name of the annoying one in the Bash Street Kids.

We used it as a nickname for DS2 before he was born, so I'm very fond of it.

But would never have used it in real life

Middle name?

I like it. I've seen it slated here before. I think there is a poster who has a Cuthbert though.

I really doubt it when people say they will be teased. My DD goes to nursery with kids called Satvant, Anfel, Hafsa (girls) & Guraj, Nishan, Kamari (boys). Would Cuthbert tease Satvant or would Satvant tease Cuthbert?

Not over keen.

Lovely.

ISWYM about the softie connotations, but the teenage one I know in RL is a lovely boy, and AFAIK has not had difficulties at school because of his name.

It wouldnt be my choice, but it is quite sweet.

Bloody awful

omg no! sounds awful,sorry tho like bertie! Only known one cuthbert, be about 15 now, was a pretty ghastly child! His mum said she had only called him that to carry favour with a wealthy great uncle cuthbert, don't know if it worked and he is a wealthy teenager!
