Keith

[Kustan1972]

My friend is pregnant and she told me last night that she wants to call her son Keith after her uncle.

What do you think?

I know a few Keiths, so its a no from me.

Alfie, Archie, Teddie, Ernie are dreadful but bloody hell there’s better names out there than Keith!

I know a few Keiths, so its a no from me.

Why? Are they so awful?

I find this hard to believe.

I don’t mind it. I know a now-late-teens Keith. He was at primary school with my DD, so I’ve known him since he was four.

I like the name Keith.
Right now I think it still carries a lot of ‘older’ ‘out of fashion’ ‘boring’ type connotations.
Think it’s a great name which could be due a resurgence.

It's due a come back in a few years so she might be ahead.

She might also be saying Keith because people are asking for the name and she doesn't want to say what his real name is.

Sorry personally I think it is absolutely the worst name there is. It's really ugly sounding! I know a 2 Keith's in their 60s and they hate their name too

My cactus is called Keith. I'll tell him about this. He'lol be thrilled.

Sounds are very subjective. Personally I find the sound of Keith or Heath much nicer than the sound that Noah makes (a whiny no imo).

It’s a funny old name, I always like to think of dogs called Keith and Barry too.

There’s no way I’d use it for a baby.

I had an amazing Obstetrician called Keith ! He said he had delivered over three thousand babies and no Keiths! I'll tell him about this discussion

I actually quite like it. Keith sounds refreshing after all the recent cutesy names like Teddie, Alfie, Archie etc
