Nye

[RTchoke]

I know Nye is usually an abbreviation fir Aneurin but I really don't like Aneurin while I love Nye.

What do people think?

Nay.

No. It's a bit odd....

Bevan.

Have no other point of reference for it.

Makes me think of New Years Eve

I quite like the Bevan association.

It's odd. But I like it. I also like Aneurin.

My mum named her welsh terrier after Aneurin Bevan, he gets called Nye for short. Sorry not for me.....

Aneurin is a bit uriney. Agreed re New Years Eve too.

I like it. DSs favourite book

I like it

Do you like Niall?

Is it said Nie (rhyming with my )? If so I would always assume it was Office style short for Nigel which would make it pretty uncool in my book.

I like it.

There was a Nye in my year at school and I didn't even know he was called Aneurin until we were in 6th form. I just knew he was Welsh and thought Nye was a Welsh name.

So no, I don't think it would be odd. You accept the people you meet as being the names they are don't you.

I thought that this was going to be a thread about New Year's Eve.

As a name, it's a no from me.

No. Sorry.

I worked with a Nye years ago.

My 3 yr olds best friend is a nye and he is completely brilliant so I have only positive feelings towards the name. The only thing his mum gets cross about is people thinking he's called Nile. Go for it. :)

I really like it and it was on our list for DS2. The only thing was I don't like Aneurin and I didn't want to give DS2 just a nick name

I don't think it works as a standalone name. Aneurin is a fabulous name

I like it.

I don't like it at all. It sounds really strange.

I don't think as a standalone name either

But I like aneurin

I prefer Nye. The full name reminds me of aneurysm.

Except Aneurin and aneurysm aren't pronounced alike. Good one on the cultural awareness though.

It can be spelt Aneirin as well.
