Boy name opinion

[FerryCrossTheMersey]

Hello! This is my first post for my first baby 😊. My baby boy is due in July which is flying round. No boy name stood out until I came across Toledo. I really like it, thinking Tolly for short. What are your thoughts?

Hmm not one I have heard of and a quick google suggests it is a place in Spain and a surname. I'm not keen on the sound really, Tolly is ok I guess. But if you love it, go for it. It will certainly be unique!

Thanks for your reply 😊 I was worried I couldn’t use a Spanish name as I’m not from Spain

I prefer Toledo to Tolly. Tolly sounds quite similar to Dolly (imagine calling him in from playing out with his friends)

I probably wouldn't use it myself but people do use place names (London, India, Paris etc)

I'm not keen - sorry

I love Tolly. Reminds me of The Children of Green Knowe.

Oh no, used to be a disco near me years ago; Toledo Junction 🤣🤣
Was he conceived in a Seat Toledo??

Are you aware it's the name of a Seat car? Not even a nice one. That would put me off but maybe you don't mind that!

It's not a Spanish name, it's a Spanish city. It's not a name at all.

I really don't like it.

Tbh no. I don’t like toledo at all. It reminds me of tornado and Tolly isn’t a nice nickname at all. Sorry x

@JKScot4 oh god, I never knew there was a car. Maybe not then... I still like Tolly. Do you think I can use Tolly, or do I need a professional name?

My first thought was of the car tbh

I really wouldn’t, sorry.

Tommy?

Toledo is dreadful. Tolly is even worse!

Actually I’m grasping as straws here but if you called him Bartholomew, you could use Tolly as a nickname?

Tolkien? (so?)
Talan?
Timothy?

That was meant to be (SP?)

You need to google Tolly, it’s slang for shit and various other things 🤣🤣

As a PP suggested, I googled it.

Oh dear, just searched Tolly slang and this was the first result: Tolly definition: a castrated calf. Maybe find another name and nick OP . Also found the reference for toilet related stuff.

Thanks everyone. The Seat car put me off before all the other meanings 😬😅 although I did think Bartholomew was a good suggestion. I suppose I’m back at the begging now. Open to suggestions

there is some cool names in this www.thenamemeaning.com/baby-articles/rare-boy-names-50-uncommon-boys-names/

Yeah, it means shit in Scotland, the part I’m from anyway.
