Lupin

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What do you think of Lupin for a boy?

I'm also reminded of 'The Diary of a Nobody' by George and Weedon Grossmith. At least the Lupin in that was using his middle name and,yes,he was a twerp . His first name was William. Very funny book though.
Ridiculous name for a boy...may as well call him Rose or Daisy.

No

Awful.
What is it with all these people wanting to call their poor children ridiculous things at the moment ?

I like it! But then again I am calling my daughter Luna

@JellyfishandShells

He is such a twat that kid! The 'road rage' incident, where he hits a random guy's horse and makes it rear as he drives by, I mean what a total bellend!!

Horrific

I'm sorry but it's not really that good for a girl, please don't do it to your son!

Lupus is an awful disorder and it sounds like that.

Nah. Loony, loopy Lupin. And lupus connections. And I'd wonder if you didn't realise that Lupin's first name was Remus.

Flipping heck, I’m all for unusual names but Lupin...just no, no, no.

Harry Potter and lupus both spring to mind. SoI think it’s either a bit naff, try hard to different or just too bizarrely similar to a horrible illness.

Yes, Harry Potter and lupus.

I have lupins growing in my garden. They have pretty pink, purple and sometimes white flowers. I would not use the word for a boy's name.

Thats a no then lol

What other names do you like? Are you going for L names?

No. Sorry.

No sounds like a disease..makes me think of Lupus

I love it but I imagine it more on a girl than a boy if I’m honest

Surprised it’s got such a negative reaction. I quite like it actually!

I know a Lewin, which sounds quite similar?

What do I think of it?

That it's not very kind. I really wouldn't do that your child.

Ahh I should have RTFT! Sorry OP, I see you replied in the thread so now it looks like I'm piling on. Have you started a new thread for ideas? Maybe we could help you find something to your tastes but less...difficult for a child to wear

I don't like names with the 'loo' sound in them. It invites teasing and rhymes with poo and means toilet etc. There are so many wonderful names why choose one that has a high chance of causing your child grief?

It makes me think of old-fashioned boy nicknames like Bunny.

I'm not keen

Awful...sorry
