You may as well ask how is it different to Pug/Pugzley.

If you call your child Pugzley it will certainly be his name but why would you want to give them a comedy name like Pugzley or Buzley?

No, it's different. Buzz is a name...

Your partner doesn't like Charles or James. He is presenting you with a patently ridiculous comedy name, so that you will then be relieved and look favourably on the name he actually wants.

Why are you defending it if you've already chosen the name you want (and it's not Buzley, ffs).

When did I say he didn't like James or Charles? I didn't... He likes them? And because we are still thinking, people do change their minds

Finn / Finley / Finlay have Gaelic roots.

Buzz can be short for Busby, which also has Scottish origins.

Buzley is a surname but it would be a bit, well, odd for a first name.

Nice try OP

Ha Ha
Just when I think there can't be any name that is more ridiculous than the last one suggested, another one comes along!

Mind you, I don't think we've had Fizby yet have we? or Gollum. or supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...

Lots of laughs still to come!

The sad thing is, I'm being serious

You may well feel sad but imagine how sad poor Buzley will be.

x 100

I like it.

You need a dongle barrelled surname to go with it.

Buzz Lightyear

Buzzy bee

Not keen, sounds American

Of course I won't go with it now...

I just thought we had found a 'quirky' name we both agree on!

Guess I'll stick with Charles James and he'll be one of 100 Charlies

Ottilia what has a double barrelled last name got to do with it? Because I assume you're taking the piss...

Because he will have a double barrelled last name.

There are lots of names that are somewhere in between the very traditional and the very unusual...

Surely there's a name out there that you can both agree on that is a bit more exciting than Charlie and a bit less exciting than Buzley?

I just thought it sounds like a name that would be wasted without a double barrelled surname that's all.
You're telling me I got it right?

Finn has been in use since at least the 3rd century.

I would snigger at Buzley. So would a lot of people. My preference would not be to give a child a name that means they have to suffer the WTF responses throughout their childhood.

I think it's the 'ee' sound on the end that makes it sound silly. How about Buzford, Buzhope, Buzholme or mix it up a bit with Fitzbuz. They sound much posher.

Fitzbuz

Ds is in Y5 and the only one in his school with his name. Dd has encountered only one other child with her name in her school life so far and is at a secondary with 1500 pupils.

Both are classic but not as much used as the Charlie's/James's - which are not bad names either.

Oh please go for Fizz Buzz. Imagine the daily fun when someone decides what the number and multiple of the day will be.

I like Fitzbuz too.
