My friend is having her second little boy in June and is totally stuck. What does with Huey? Her OH has suggested Bruce and Jimmy which she's not keen on.

Tell her not to pick a name that ends with an ee sound, will sound too cartoonish.

Huey? Really?

Alisvolatpropiis · 21/02/2015 21:31

I don't think op will be back!

TywysogesGymraeg · 21/02/2015 21:36

Huey is such an awful name, she's going to be hard pressed to find another equally as awful.

Alisvolatpropiis · 21/02/2015 21:37

It is certainly...unusual

ThroughTheLongNight · 21/02/2015 21:54

Yes. Huey. Really. She has slight learning difficulties due to a car accident and it's easy for her to say. Seeing as he is a really sweet already here little boy thank god she cant see your comments on how awful his name is. What a really nasty bunch of judgemental cows. I've just had my second miscarriage and felt a comfort coming to this site because it reminded me how happy I was when I thought I had a second chance. Never mind...you all congratulate yourselves on your perfect taste and small minds.

I don't see anything wrong with Huey to be honest. Hugh/Huey, John/Johnny, Tom/Tommy, it seems like quite a standard informal sort of name.

I think something short and snappy like Leo, Sam or Zac would work well.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 22/02/2015 03:28

I agree maybe not another name ending in an 'ee' sound so how about:
Arlo
Jake
Ellis
Tom
Seth
Drake
Frank
Brent
Jared
Mike
Rex
Jed
Grant
Nico
Max
Clarke
Dane
Felix
Justin
Quinn
Adam
