Boy's name Ferris

[MissesandMuddles]

Our 4 day old ds3 is currently name-less. We like unusual names. I really like Ferris, and it goes really well with our surname, but have one reservation and wonder if others would think the same. What are your thoughts on Ferris?

I likes it.

Bueller. But I do love that film.

I second The Duchess
But he's your baby, if you like it, use it!
Congratulations

Wheel....

Bueller.......Bueller..........Bueller.? It will always be synonymous with the film in my mind and I'm not a big fan of the film. I think it's one of those names that people will associate with the film even if they haven't seen the film.

Yep, Bueller. Then Wheel.

Wheel.

But it's OK! Use it if you like it and it sounds good with your surname.

Wheel
Bueller

Not keen

Beuller

Wheel

Then Ferret

Yes it's great. As is the film. Go for it.

Yeah wheel came to my mind to, but it's your baby.

My cousin is ferris. I don't like it. Bueller, wheel, ferret.

Yy he can even have his own t shirt.

It makes me think of iron. Ferrous iron.

Bueller
Wheel
Ferret...

yes all of those.
it is fine as a name, just you have to think of what others will find in it to mock....

What about Faris, which is similar but doesn't have all these obvious connections that people have identified?

Thanks for all your comments. Feeling very torn. I'm going to post our shortlist on a new thread and see if that helps narrow it down.

awful name.
poor little mite .
he'll have 9 types of crap kicked out of him at school.
go get yourself a nice first aid kit for when he starts school.

Errrr, bit of an overreaction there Calm.

I don't particularly like the name but I don't see that it's a name that would provoke a kicking ffs.

I can understand that certain names would provoke teasing but do kids actually get beaten up for having an unusual name?

i know someone has given their dd a second name that rhymes with pisser, i feel for her when school mates find out. it's been a wtf did you call her that for time ?

no, it's not melissa either..

Hmmm I second the suggestion of Faris instead, don't know if it's a real name but it doesn't have the wheel/ferret connotations...

Faris is a "real" name, in that it is an arabic name, that works well in English too.

Bueller
