Gatsby for a boy?

[PerksOfBeingAMum]

General but polite opinions on the name Gatsby please.

Other suggestions:

Huxley
Isambard
Orson
Broderick
Crispen

it is truly dreadful - has hubby not read the book?
Good name for a horse though.

Sorry, I too would assume that anyone who would name their child Gatsby either hadn't read or hadn't understood the book.

awful

Definitely not! But what about.....Aldous or Benedict or Barnaby?

No - the character is just too sad. But if you love the book/film, how about Jay as more of a nod towards it?

An adulterous bootlegger.....but the embodiment of hope, even where there is none (AKA a dreamer with criminal connections)

Just no.

No, just doesn't sound like a first name

No. Even for a literary fiend like myself. Gatsby is a surname. As is Darcy.

With the face linked to that name, it is no wonder you are considering it :) but I think you may regret it in the future x
