What do you think of the name Fabian? I like that it is not popular but still has a classic feel to it

Pretentious

Quizeerascal · 06/04/2020 18:59

Lovely name, I agree it's not too popular but feels classic and is easy to spell/say etc

Quizeerascal · 06/04/2020 18:59

I also quite like Dorian

Thisismytimetoshine · 06/04/2020 19:00

Really quite dreadful.

Ikeameatballs · 06/04/2020 19:00

I don’t like it but I can’t quite put my finger on why not.

PersonaNonGarter · 06/04/2020 19:02

Needy parents. Also Dorian.

Like they want us to think that they are Intelligent, but it is too needy.

I would have said a bit much but then I met one and it’s fine.

American teen idol from the 50s.

I love the name, also adore Ettiene.

Mollymaejonrs · 06/04/2020 19:11

Makes me think of a villain

OhTheRoses · 06/04/2020 19:12

It's a socialist organisation so whilst I like the name I certainly wouldn't use it.

I love it and not just because the one I know was rather gorgeous and lovely

MerryDeath · 06/04/2020 19:43

i like it but you should hear my sons' names

HopeandFlory · 06/04/2020 20:21

@MerryDeath I do too, despite the more negative comments Grin I'd love to hear the names you chose if you're prepared to share?

Sounds like a stripper or a character in an erotic novel

Ontheboardwalk · 06/04/2020 20:29

Sorry OP, reminds me of Bruce Willis saying Fabienne in pulp fiction in that annoying voice

OhTheRoses · 06/04/2020 20:49

Ah well my ds is 25 but were I having another one:

Merlin
Gawain
Tristan
Magnus

Love it. My son's uni friend was called Fabian. His other two friends were called Rameses and Ptolemy. They graduated in 2016.

We kinda wished we'd called DS Isambard after DH's engineering hero but we just weren't brave enough.

VenusClapTrap · 06/04/2020 21:57

Love it

123Dancewithme · 06/04/2020 22:33

I like it but prefer the German pronunciation. Not so keen on “fay-bee-an”

Bezalelle · 06/04/2020 22:51

Appalling.
