Lucky?

Inspired by another thread today -
This is a name I like but a lot of people say that it's a dog name which I find completely understandable, but would anyone say it's usable?

Yeah that's a dogs name... Not a fan at all

Although wasn't there a Britney song about a 'girl called Lucky'?

ghostsandghoulies · 06/12/2018 15:22

Definitely not a human name imo. I can imagine a lot of rude jokes about this name.

ernjas · 06/12/2018 15:23

@ghostsandghoulies didn't think of it like that but good point!

There’s a male model called Lucky, I think his full name is Lucky Blue!

This is a story about a girl named Lucky
Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for make-up, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
And they say
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?

So no, I couldn't name her after the Sony either.
Far too many "getting lucky" jokes
It's a dogs name
It's a word not a name

If I had this name I'd be so embarrassed and self-conscious every time I walked under a ladder, got shat on by a bird etc etc... All those little things associated with good or bad luck. So much potential for piss taking, enquiries about this weekend's lottery numbers. It'd just be never ending, surely?! I wouldn't do it.

JaneJeffer · 06/12/2018 15:25

Is it for a boy or a girl?

If you watched Emmerdale you would not call your son Lucky...

SilverySurfer · 06/12/2018 15:26

Awful. If you like it so much change your own name to Lucky.

IHaveBrilloHair · 06/12/2018 15:28

Lucky Blue the model is stunning.

MontanaSkies · 06/12/2018 15:28

However, it would be a really cute name for a puppy you'd rescued from a perilous situation.

Phebes · 06/12/2018 15:44

Noooo

gummibears · 06/12/2018 15:47

Lucky? Never heard that as a name, either for a person or an animal!

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 06/12/2018 15:48

I used to like it.Lucky is a well known character in jackie Collins books,I used to read them so came across it

Schmoobarb · 06/12/2018 15:48

Awful

LuckyDiamond · 06/12/2018 15:49

I like it Grin

Roundles · 06/12/2018 15:49

I know a Lucky. She suits her name, rocks it and it really changed my opinion on it as a name. Comes across like any other name once you get used to it. Go for it!!

TroysMammy · 06/12/2018 15:51

Sauvignon it was the character in the Jackie Collins books I thought of too.

SylvanianFrenemies · 06/12/2018 16:43

Really bad as a given name for a human.

Could be a nickname for Lucia/Luciana/Luca etc if you must.

ZebraKid71 · 06/12/2018 16:46

I know a 15 yeah old Lochy, short for Lochlan.

HappyPunky · 06/12/2018 16:48

Felix / felicity mean Luck/good fortune.
Lucky is a cute nickname

PepsiLola · 06/12/2018 16:52

I instantly think of the Britney Spears song.

"This is a story about a girl named lucky"

😂

moredoll · 06/12/2018 16:54

No

Mumshappy · 06/12/2018 16:56

Dont do it

sickmumma · 06/12/2018 17:01

We had a boy called Lucky in our primary school, i guess there was the odd joke but he wasn't bullied or harassed over his name . He was a really sweet boy but very shy!

Isadora2007 · 06/12/2018 17:04

But what if he’s not lucky?
