Story as a boys name?

[auntym]

Bonkers or cool? I quite like it and met one once but not sure it would translate to the UK without significant teasing potential..

Bonkers. Sorry.

Bonkers. Really bonkers.

I often like unusual names but this one seems a bit much.

Having an unusual name myself, I predict he'll soon get bored of the constant comments, the jokes that he'll hear time and time again. Of course each person who says it thinks they're being totally original and absolutely hilarious. Once you're stuck with a name it's very difficult to change it so he'll be saddled with it forevermore.

Please don't

Yup, Bonkers.

Story is something inner city Dubliners use when they meet people. It's short for 'what's the story?' And is usually followed by 'bud'
No.

Plus can you imagine the mania from your child every time a story is mentioned?

No no no

Coming from Ireland, 'story?' is a way of asking someone how they are.

Bonkers.

It's a bit 'Gwenyth Paltrow'.

Bad idea. Hero would be awful too.

I just don't get it. To me it's no different to naming him table, lightbulb or music.
Its very out there but I suppose there is a chance he'll carry it off with aplomb.

Not my cup of tea either I'm afraid.

No it's dreadful.

He won't thank you for it. Why don't you just choose an actual name?

Awful.

One of the Hollywood Scientology nutters has a 'Story'. I think it's Dharma from Dharma and Greg.

Please don't ask me how I know such things .

How about Poem or Song for names?

A couple of you tubers just named their daughter Story and I personally think it's a terrible, pretentious sounding name.

Sorry!

Story....

In the same league as Lucky, Chance, Justice, Pilot, and Moon Unit.

He'll change his name to Duncan when he's 18.

Plus can you imagine the mania from your child every time a story is mentioned?

Now that would be problematic.

Come on Story, it's story time!

Will you come and sit down for a story, Story?

I'd like you to write a story, Story

Bonkers. Possibly search around for names with that kind of meaning? (I was thinking of "Shir", which means song in Hebrew.)

Brilliant, thanks everyone for the reality check. Confirming it's off the list!

Wow, - sensible OP!

Don't you know you are supposed to stamp your foot, tell us we're all wrong then flounce off?

I'm sure you'll pick something lovely.

'Story, can you concentrate on the story please?'

'I am the bloody story miss! I couldn't be more I involved'

...

Sounds made up (if you'll pardon the pun)

Thank feck you've taken it off the list OP. It was truly awful
