What do you think of Bean as a boy's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

You'd have to be a massive Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love fan.... their daughter was named Frances Bean Cobain. It's fooking stupid.

So OP, what you're saying is, you like Bean better than pretty much any other name on the planet.

You think Bean is the best choice out there, and trumps all others? You, yourself, would like to go through life with the name Bean?

Is this what you're actually saying?

It's horrid for a proper name because it isn't one and it's a lame overused nickname for a foetus or small child.

Just yuck.

I know a Bean. A chap. Yes it is his real name. Yes, it is on his birth certificate. Yes, people ALWAYS question him about it. No, they can never hide their laughter.

Really, don't do it.

I once was on a forum with someone who called their daughter Sabean (yes spelled that way) in order to call her Bean day to day, maybe you could do that if a girl. As a middle name, why not? people use all sorts of stupid middle names.
