Would Monty get picked on?

[daholster]

It's a worry for us. Do you know any? Are they picked on? We are wondering if it might soon make a comeback... And would have to cope with the "no, we didn't name it after the penguin..."

I have a Monty. He definitely isn't picked on! He's 5 now and at school where he is happy, chatty, outgoing, confident and very gregarious. Nobody batted an eyelid at his name tbh, and we live in a rural area with some pretty tame/traditional naming. He probably has the wildest name in the school tbh..

He isn't Montague or Montgomery. He's 'just' Monty.

Don't know whether he'd get picked on because of it, some kids are just horrible and will pick up on anything to make themselves feel better.

I'm not keen myself, I've only known 2 Montys and they have both been dogs so I think of it as a dogs name.

I know 3 under 5! Think it's going to be the next Archie.

It says Uncle Monty to me too I'm afraid (or Monty the bounder from Foryste saga). I think of it as a slightly comedy name.

But it seems to be becoming more popular so I think pretty soon the old associations will have gone.

I taught a 6y Monty last year. No teasing.

Upcoming dc will be Monty (Montgomery) if he's a he. It's a family name.

I also have a not very secret crush on Monty Don
