I’m not a fan, I just can’t imagine an adult named Bambi

Smolo · 25/05/2019 19:06

You can't call a child Bambi! Are you thinking for a boy or a girl?

DontCallMeShitley · 25/05/2019 19:15

How about Baloo?

Passthecherrycoke · 25/05/2019 19:17

Balloo is actually very cool 🤣 he’s a great character

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/05/2019 19:20

Nope. The usual joke around here of ‘but you’re eating Bambi!’ wouldn’t sit well.

VanillaCoconutDove · 25/05/2019 19:20

It’s a nickname, like munchkin or sweetie pie.

Or it’s a sex industry name.

I'd imagine most humans with the name Bambi are girls even though cartoon Bambi was a boy. Terrible name for anyone.

EmmaC78 · 25/05/2019 19:22

Terrible name.

cliffdiver · 25/05/2019 19:25

Oh deer...

Please don't!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/05/2019 19:26

That was good 🦌

BackforGood · 25/05/2019 19:27

Loving the "Oh deer" comments.

OP, please reassure us you aren't actually serious, but just looking for something to amuse us ?

kenandbarbie · 25/05/2019 19:29

Are you actually being serious?

icecreamsundae32 · 25/05/2019 19:31

For a pet! Not a person

WhatWouldChristineCagneyDo · 25/05/2019 19:45

A name like that could cast a shadow over her whole life and limit her prospects. She's going to struggle to be taken seriously with a name like that.

Give your head a wobble.

Carolcool · 25/05/2019 19:54

No no no

GrannyHaddock · 25/05/2019 20:24

Dumbo is very good, but Bimbo might work better.

Purplehammer · 25/05/2019 20:42

After the family murders.?
Please no, that’s sadistic.

kaytee87 · 25/05/2019 21:06

Seriously?

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 25/05/2019 21:12

Her name is Bambi??

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/05/2019 21:13

Although I'd put it on a girl not a boy.
I fear a boy named Bambi would be teased mercilessly.

hsegfiugseskufh · 25/05/2019 21:14

Its my nickname (nothing at all like my real name actually!) And ive had many a funny look from people when ive been called it in public so id say dont use it as a proper name!

mondaysaturday · 25/05/2019 21:14

Jesus wept.

Mummyoftwo91 · 25/05/2019 21:15

Stripper name

SunshineCake · 25/05/2019 21:16

I'm embarrassed for you, OP.

StoatofDisarray · 25/05/2019 21:21

A prostitute.
