Hi I am due to have a baby boy in October and struggling with names we have an Edward (Teddy) and husband loves George and I love Rupert but non of us will compromise!
Any names suggestions?
Also loving Ziggy but only as nicknames any full name suggestions for it?

Sigmund or Sigismund.

Wikipedia says that Ziggy is short for Zygmunt. Who knew?!

I really wouldn’t choose that though!

pinkyredrose · 12/09/2018 18:51

Why not just Ziggy as a full name? Its fab!

ConsiderHerWaysAndOthers · 12/09/2018 18:54

I knew a Ziggy at school who was actually called Peter. The official long version is Zigmund which is an unusual variant of Sigmund. You could also go for something beginning with a Z like Zachary or Zachariah but then it’s quite a leap to get to Ziggy. If you like Ziggy (for what it’s worth I love Edward, George and Rupert but really dislike Ziggy) then just call him that and be done with it.

Teddy and Rupert? No! Far too many bear connotations!

Ziggy is a bit trendy sounding

Susannach · 12/09/2018 19:18

Zachary for Ziggy is inspired! Do it Smile Ziggy is v cool but definitely not substantial enough for a full name.

A580Hojas · 12/09/2018 19:20

Yep, love Ziggy. Go for it!

foreverblessedbee · 12/09/2018 19:24

I know I'm probably very old (43!) But to me I just think ziggy stardust? Or was it alvin stardust?Grin either way I'm thinking it sounds like a glam rock star or the name of a cat. Regardless though, it's what YOU love that matters. If it rocked your boat-go for it! Ps our chocolate brown cockapoo is called Rupert Wink

hobblesma · 12/09/2018 19:27

I used to have a dog called Ziggy. After Ziggy Stardust.

Perhaps it's an age thing, I'm over 40

a11o · 12/09/2018 19:29

I actually really like it as a name on it's own!!!

Nopoohbear · 12/09/2018 19:30

I know 3 ziggys- I think people have chosen it recently as it’s quite quirky and seems unusual but it’s actually really popular if you don’t mind that?

Aprilshowersnowastorm · 12/09/2018 19:31

Zygmunt is a cunt isn't a cute nn so please no!!
Ziggy on its own is brave but cool imo!

Nanasueathome · 12/09/2018 19:32

There is a boy in my grandsons reception class called Ziggy

Alwa · 12/09/2018 19:32

Ezikiel ziggy or Zeke

RiceButt · 12/09/2018 19:33

I have a Rupert, but no I wouldn't pair it with a Teddy.

ToBeARockAndNotToRoll · 12/09/2018 19:33

Ziggy played guitar...Smile

I do like it, but would consider it more of a nickname.

HonestReally · 12/09/2018 19:38

What abouy ‘Zibi’. I think it’s a nickname based on a longer polish name.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 12/09/2018 19:50

Makes me think of Ziggy Marley Smile

chipsandgin · 12/09/2018 19:53

Makes me think of a pet (as does Oscar, Felix & Rufus) - I know one Ziggy dog & two cats!

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 12/09/2018 19:54

Zigmin.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 12/09/2018 19:55

GinIsIn · 12/09/2018 19:58

George is great. You can’t have Rupert and Teddy!

MilesHuntsWig · 12/09/2018 19:59

@hobblesma same here - our cat's called Ziggy.

Whydididothatfuckingthing · 12/09/2018 19:59

Love Ziggy, but I’m biased used to fancy Ziggy from Grange Hill.
