I don’t like it sorry. I know a few baby / toddlers with the name in our area and am surprised at how relatively popular it is.

bridgetreilly · 03/10/2018 23:36

I like it.

greenlynx · 03/10/2018 23:37

Big nay - sorry

I want to like it, I just don't. No negative associations with it though, I'd use it if you like it!

moredoll · 03/10/2018 23:55

I think if it goes well with the surname then yes, go for it

BikeRunSki · 04/10/2018 00:02

I like it.

My name is Guybrush Threepwood, and I'm going to be a pirate!

Kindnessplease · 04/10/2018 07:14

I really like it

darkblu · 04/10/2018 07:20

I actually quite like it, in fact the more I think about it the more I like it! If you love it, do it OP Smile

ChipsAreLife · 04/10/2018 07:39

I love it! I've only had girls thus far but we've always had Guy at the top of our list. I think it's a great name and one that won't date

kettleonplease · 04/10/2018 07:59

Nah

MsJolly · 04/10/2018 08:00

I know a lovely handsome surgeon called Guy-you need a fab surname to go with it though

IdaBWells · 04/10/2018 08:01

Nay

Dontbuymesocks · 04/10/2018 08:04

I love it, one of my favourites.

Polkasq · 04/10/2018 08:22

I don't particularly like it TBH. Verhofstadt and a thing that goes on a bonfire.

ApricotExpat · 04/10/2018 08:27

love it - particularly in French!

greendale17 · 04/10/2018 08:36

No

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/10/2018 10:19

No, sorry.

aybeeseedee · 04/10/2018 10:19

Love it. Solid. Can't be shortened!

Apple23 · 04/10/2018 11:49

So long as you are not pronouncing it Goo-ee
