Is Herbert awful?

[Loocy1103]

I love the nickname Herbie but don’t feel as if it’s ‘proper’ enough as a full name. Is Herbert awful and too old man-ish. Are there any other names that can result in the nn herbie?

Did you like it before you got pregnant or do you think that hormones might be clouding your judgement?

Are you a troll?

Yes it’s awful.

yes it is awful.

There was a thread on this name about 2 weeks ago

It's not great tbh

Herbie goes bananas.
And I’ve just showed my age

It's horrible. Sorry.

Herbert is lovely, but I know 4 dogs, including my own, with that name.

It's a no from me too.

Have you not heard the phrase "he's a right scruffy herbert"?

Don't think it's different to all the Henry's, georges old man names out there. Can't move for Archie's

It's awful.

I really like it

Yes, it is awful. Herbie is also awful, sorry.

Herbert is used as an insult round here.. "Dave's a right fucking Herbert".
So no, definitely not.

Awful.

Truly awful. Don’t do it to the poor lad!

spottingthezebras I’ll blame it on the hormones!
hellywelly ouch!

Herbert means plonker in my neck of the woods so I wouldn’t

Really? I haven’t seen the thread, was the consensus the same? redshoeblueshoe

I know of a Herbie, probably about 8. V. hipster parents.

Actually I think it was more positive
I think it's due a comeback

I know a Herb, he's about 7 and he's lovely, really suits him.

I personally hate Herbert and Herbie, sorry, but I do think it would be quite a fashionable but not popular choice.
