Guy?

I suggested this to DH very early on. He said no.

We moved on to an endless list of boy names.

He has recently come back with Guy Hmm

But now I’m unsure.

Opinions?

I like it. I know 2 brothers called Rex and Guy. I think they have cool names.

Bumblebeesmum · 08/05/2019 12:32

Not a fan but I don’t hate it or anything

I think it's a bit like calling your son Boy or Fella. Sort of stating the obvious!

Mollie85 · 08/05/2019 13:29

Not keen but I LOVE Gus 😆

Love it though it makes me think of Guybrush Threepwood 🏝️

KingHenrysCodpiece · 08/05/2019 14:06

No for me. Sounds too adult for a child. Can't imagine a baby Guy, or a teenage one for that matter but its your choice

TurquoiseAndPurple · 08/05/2019 14:43

Always thought it's an awful name with no personality.

Imo (obv) it sounds lazy. "Oh it's a boy!", "What do we call him?", "Idk. Guy."

JeantheHipster · 08/05/2019 15:20

I think it's great

PlatypusLeague · 08/05/2019 15:20

Verhofstadt comes to mind, so no.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 08/05/2019 15:22

Why? Unless you want it pronounced the way the French do so it doesn't sound like “guy” but what a faff that would be.

MikeUniformMike · 08/05/2019 15:39

Love it!

starkid · 08/05/2019 16:39

Not a fan sorry

thegreylady · 08/05/2019 17:09

My ds is Guy so of course I love it.

Almahart · 08/05/2019 17:11

I like it

Carpetburns · 08/05/2019 17:23

Like it

Chewbecca · 08/05/2019 17:25

It was on my shortlist along with Leo and Toby.

CastorTroyWantsHisFaceBack · 08/05/2019 17:43

Mixed bag.

Maybe if I do have a girl I will call her ‘Gal’ Wink

Boys names are hard. We seem to have a huge list of ones we like but not one we love.

I love it, really cool, not common and I knew a nice one.

daisypond · 08/05/2019 17:46

I love it.

oohbubbles1 · 08/05/2019 17:55

I don't hate it, but don't like it either. for me its a bit like naming a baby girl Girl :)

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 08/05/2019 17:58

I love it, I like it more that a lot of people don’t, it’s not over used and I’ve only ever met a few irl and they have been lovely
