Nebuchadnezzar

[Glitterandsparks]

What are your thoughts on the name Nebuchadnezzar? Could it be used as a middle name? Maybe just to differentiate a bit... Like William Nebuchadnezzar?

Only if his middle names will be Jereboam Salmanazar.

Ffs. ...whose given name...

I knew a chap called Hercules many years ago. He called himself Les.

I'm a great believer in 'call your baby what you want' but even I would draw the line at this.

My middle name is Elizabeth and I was about 7 before I could spell it correctly. His friends will be about 15 before they can.

@AdaColeman

Only use it if you have a Babylonian family background. 😀

It sounds like the name of Jacob Rees-Mogg's next child. It's a hell no from me 👎

My first thought at seeing this was the ship from the matrix.

So Nabucco for short, and his sister is La Traviata. 🤣

Even if you are an opera buff, please don't.

It's a good name if:
-your second name is Dingle
-you live in Emmerdale

Thought you'd lent on your keyboard by accident.

No,it sounds as stupid as it looks, poor child.

Like the ship in the Matrix

That you Reece Mogg?

Run out of numbers?

Just asked DH to spell it and he got it right first time!
His DM should've been more adventurous.

OP ...you're having a laff.

@terraform...I once taught a Pocohontas. Poco for short.

Yes, drink problem and/or conceived after a heck of a lot of champagne!

put it this way
how would 'you' like to have that as a name ?
bloody ridiculous

At least pick a name of a good character from the Bible

King of the Jews
Bought his wife a pair of shoes
When the shoes began to wear
Nebuchadnezzar began to swear

Just in case you don't know about his -illustrious read notorious career, the book of Jeremiah calls him the 'destroyer of nations'.

We had a little Ulysses as nursery. One parent muttered ‘wow - epic’ when he heard it.

BAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey candy - that’s a good name!

You’re all much better than me as you seemed to immediately think of biblical links, and I’m here wondering how fast I could actually drink 15 liters of champagne.

For those who are hugely interested: I figure it’s take at least a month, if I really pushed myself. I’m not a fan of white wines, or fizzy wines. Therefore, on that basis, I dislike the name Nebuchadnezzar.

As a teacher, I’ve seen my fair share of terrible names but this would top them all. I know you’re only suggesting it as a middle name but please don’t. If that were my name, I’d be changing it the second I turned 18.
