I know a Thor - was a bit Hmm at first but now quite like it.

I also know a Bayard, nicknamed Bay. I like it too.

IndigoBell · 30/05/2012 14:21

No and Definitely Not

evamummy · 30/05/2012 14:21

But both are underused but classic names - I don't think you can go wrong with either.

sonniboo · 30/05/2012 14:22

I like Bay. Thor is ok - would you pronounce it Thor or Tor (I prefer the latter).

Stellan · 30/05/2012 14:26

Is Bay really a classic name? Hmm

Littlecherublegs · 30/05/2012 14:37

Not keen on either sorry.

In fact, a woman at work has jokingly named my bump Thor. Think she thought it was the most outrageous name she could think of and everyone laughs when she says it as no-one could seriously name their child that - could they??!!

Bay is slightly better - just slightly.

Said together sounds like a seaside resort

Sorry

ZZZenAgain · 30/05/2012 14:48

Is Bay for a boy or a girl?

DottieRose · 30/05/2012 14:50

Bay is for a boy!

How about lemon? And then use Thor bay as middle names?

sparkle12mar08 · 30/05/2012 14:52

No, no and thrice no. Both are awful, really awful, sorry.

DottieRose · 30/05/2012 14:53

Catsdontcare I wasn't planning on using both Thor and Bay together actually but thanks for the comment! Hmm

Sorry, OP, unless you're actually Scandiwegian, I would say NOOOOO to Thor. Poor kid will never live it down and it will date him inexorably to the time of the Avengers movies.

As for Bay - isn't that what Kirsty Homemade Show called her first? It makes me think i) of Wolefs ii) of trees/herbal seasoning iii) of her simpering over a piece of not-very-good crochet.

Classic names? Really??

FoofFighter · 30/05/2012 14:58

Thor and Loki? :)

Well I suppose Thor on its own is ok as long as your last name isn't play.

I will leave now.

squoosh · 30/05/2012 15:06

How is Bay a classic name??????

Frankie Boyle's son is called Thor. Thor Boyle.

Well yes, boils can be quite thore.

StepOutOfSpring · 30/05/2012 15:13

I like Thor, Bay is quite nice.

FredQuimby · 30/05/2012 15:16

Awful and awful. Really, really awful. Pretentious and really awful!

lisaro · 30/05/2012 15:23

Thor is bad enough but Bay? Absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully whoever said they were classic names was bring sarcastic.

AllRiseForHerVaj · 30/05/2012 15:26

Thor - awful
Bay - Posh Spice might have called Harper this if she'd been a boy. No.

evamummy · 30/05/2012 15:55

I regard Bayard as a classic, old name. I have an 80 year old great uncle named this, nicknamed Bay. So te me it is a 'classic' name.

Thor, of course, is a very old name from Norse Mythology.

squoosh · 30/05/2012 15:57

Obviously Thor is a classic Norse name but Bayard to me is a surname.

FoofFighter · 30/05/2012 16:50

Do you like Troy?
