What do you think?

[becki93]

The other half doesnt like this name, but I love it, I think it is really different.

I think 'What do you think?' is great, not too popular but everyone's heard of it.

What nicknames though? Thinky? And what if child has a lisp?

I like ? as a nickname. Short and feminine.

Shit, it didnt even post the name haha.
How dim of me.

Obie is the name.

Wan Kenobi?

Ummmm........

Obadiah?

Its spelt differently to Obi Wan Kenobi..

Its better!
I havent heard it and don't think its a name he will get bullied over.

Yep, I can't imagine anyone~ asking to see his light sabre.

You think children are going to realise that?
Not unless their parents have an influence on teaching their child how to bully.

There is no way on this planet that someone called Obi will make it through a single day without a Star Wars comment.

You must know that!

My cousins are called:

Hudson
Presley
Gable
Niven

and they dont seem to get anything.

What about Coby/Cobie instead?
I quite like Obie, but I agree that the Star Wars references will come thick and fast.

Well then you should follow family tradition and call your child Guinness or MacGregor!

I think Cobie is more of a black name.
It reminds me of the basketball player

Oh dear.

Oh does it? My dh's friend is Coby and he's a pasty Scotsman - always thought it suited him. Oh well.

I don't believe you OP. Your cousins cannot have those names. (If they do Obi looks a bit tame tbh) He will get Star Wars comments though. And confused with Toby, Coby.

Hudson
Presley
Gable
Niven

With middle names Rock, Elvis, Clark and David presumably??

My cousins do have those names.
Oh well I will have to make him like Star Wars and carry a light saber around.

I think your cousins names aren't as obvious for teasing as Obie is, because of the Star Wars thing.

LeslieKnope, unfortunately she never took it that far!
But no surprising thats who they are named after.

I would have thought Elvis was a lot more popular than Star Wars though

I hope little Gable and Niven nave raffish pencil moustaches.

Kids nowadays have no idea who Elvis Presley is. Not so Obi Wan - they ALL know who he is.

Is? Was.
