What do you think of Lupin for a boy?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Makes me think of Harry Potter books.

Other kids could call them 'loopy' if they're mean.

JKScot4 · 14/04/2020 21:45

Flower or wolf?
Nope, just sounds daft.
NN Loopy 🙄

LochJessMonster · 14/04/2020 21:45

Awful
Reminds me of Harry Potter.

Kinsman · 14/04/2020 21:46

And another no from me.
Sorry, it's just awful.

TheGriffle · 14/04/2020 21:47

Remus.

AcrobaticCardigan · 14/04/2020 21:50

Horrendous!

mocktail · 14/04/2020 21:52

Lupins are pretty and I like the sound of the name. It's unusual to choose a flower name for a boy though so I'd probably assume it was a girl. Not sure if that would both you?

JellyfishandShells · 14/04/2020 21:52

In the still hilarious, after 130 years, book Diary of a Nobody , Lupin is the name of the ne’er do well/ twerpish son of the main character.

So, no.

*bother

mocktail · 14/04/2020 21:54

To be fair, having googled, it's a boys' name after all, sorry! I guess meaning wolf-like rather than after the flower.

RaininSummer · 14/04/2020 21:55

Unfortunately I think he may be bullied because of a name like that.

ofwarren · 14/04/2020 21:56

It reminds me of Remus Lupin in harry potter or possibly a name for a rabbit.
Is it a girl's name?
How about other flower names such as Tulip, Daisy, Jasmine.

TheWordmeister · 14/04/2020 21:57

Lupin? No. It conjures up images of a mimsy, effete twit.

Figgygal · 14/04/2020 21:58

Well it’s a flower or a bean
Not a child’s name

ofwarren · 14/04/2020 21:58

Sorry, just read it's a boy's name.
Im not really keen on nature names for boys
Remus is better if you are after a harry potter connection.

Elouera · 14/04/2020 21:59

Its a type of flour made from a bean! Like calling him wholemeal, spelt or multiseed!!!

I agree, he'll be called 'Loopy Lupin'. I like names a bit different, but this is a no from me.

IKEA888 · 14/04/2020 21:59

no... Lupus the autoimmune disease is what I first think of

stophuggingme · 14/04/2020 22:06

Just cruel

Meltedwellie · 14/04/2020 22:07

Makes me think of Lupus too. Doesn’t sound like a nice name. No, don’t do it to your baby.

MrsP2015 · 14/04/2020 22:07

Reminds me of Lupus sorry.

mnahmnah · 14/04/2020 22:08

Lupus too sorry

Pulpfiction1 · 14/04/2020 22:08

Isn't there a medication called lupin?

Bringmewineandcake · 14/04/2020 22:09

No it's awful, sorry

MinorArcana · 14/04/2020 22:10

It makes me think of Harry Potter

IamHyouweegobshite · 14/04/2020 22:15

Lupins are also poisonous. Also reminds me of Professor Lupin from Harry Potter.
