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?

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

did anyone else rejoin 'novel'?

Is that all you care about - not having a duplicate at nursery?

It was what I first thought! I believe his mum was called Penelope...

Hmm... was his middle name Oedipus?

Sadly not. Something french (for they were french, so it was ‘ooooo-leeeeeeeessssss’).

Dear God just no
Tantamount to child abuse
It's known more for being the name of a particular size of champagne bottle rather than an ancient king.
Your child will be bullied to kingdom come when the other kids find out his name.
Please. No.

Is forgotten about that. Just how big is it?

Ordering a quart of champagne might be deeply disappointing!

Nebuchadnezzar the king of the Jews
Bought his wife a pair of shoes
When the shoes began to smell
Nebuchadnezzar bought a bell
When the bell began to ring
Nebuchadnezzar began to sing......

And so on.

Balonz Nebuchadnezzar would be perfect.

Especially if the full name is Balonz Nebuchadnezzar ... Smith!

Glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of a 15ltr wine bottle!

My second thought was of The Matrix & I didn't know the biblical reference.

Xerxes would be a better choice if you're looking for a biblical name of a bad foreign king. William Xerxes will also be one of a kind at nursery.

There wouldn’t be two of them.. for a good reason .

He’ll never get it on a key ring either

He was a cruel Babylonian king who sacked Jerusalem and exiled the Jews for decades

It’s an odd choice to associate your baby with

I’d prefer Jereboam or Methuselah.

Lol

It is the name of a king in the past, I really cannot imagine anyone seriously lumbering their kid with this name, the most stupid one I have previously heard is Beowulf,why don’t people give them sensible names?

I really cannot imagine anyone seriously lumbering their kid with this name

Neither can I. Then again, I can't imagine anyone taking this thread seriously either yet a few people seem to be.

@LadyMonicaBaddingham, Nigel Nebuchadnezzar?

Interestingly, my phone predicted the name after just the letters Nebuch...

😂😂😂

I like it. I look forward to the Telegraph birth announcement 👍🏼

I love the Times births deaths and marriages. It’s always ‘announcing the arrival to the world of the amazing Beelzebub Wafflemeister Betsy-Mae Doo-Wap McAfferty-McNulty, first child to John and Mary McNulty nee McAfferty...’

@LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD
So true!

NN Ned. Cute.

Like the kid at DS school Jamiroquai NN Jamie.

Go for it OP
