DH and I are avid readers and would love your thoughts on this shortlist. So far we have;

Biff
Chip
Kipper

Any other suggestions??

Floppy

Nickname: Fucking liability

villamariavintrapp · 17/05/2020 20:45

Topsy or Tim?

randomusernames · 17/05/2020 20:47

I am assuming these are boys names?

Biff: Back to the Future
Chip: Food
Kipper: I don't even know what to think of this one, not terribly bad but just not really a Ben.

Are you only looking for boys names? These sound like Male names but asking before I can think of more

Actually, we thinking of Biff for a girl, do you not think this would work?

It wouldn't work for me at all. I think it's a very Male sounding name. I'm sure the kids in her generation wouldn't even know who Biff Tannen is or even Back to the Future but I don't think it sounds very feminine at all. If you REALLY want it perhaps a considerably feminine first name could work and having Biff as a middle ?

Alexandra Biff
Catherine Biff
Eleanor Biff

These are just random suggestions of really feminine names that could possibly help.

🤣 I think this gets a solid B. But it has made me smile after a crappy weekend so thanks!

BabyMoonPie · 17/05/2020 21:06

If you want something exotic and foreign how about Miffy?

emilybrontescorsett · 17/05/2020 21:08

Harry
Hermione
Ron

Onceuponatimethen · 17/05/2020 21:08

I think your current list is a bit limited

How about:

Tiger John
Cat Sophia
Ant Leo
Max George

Buff is definitely a girls name.

Have you considered Gruffalos Child - would work for a boy or girl?

NameChange84 · 17/05/2020 21:09

I can’t believe no one has said Tintin yet.

monkey4nuthin · 17/05/2020 21:09

Biff sorry

NameChange84 · 17/05/2020 21:10

Hagrid
Pantalaimon

Yorkshirelassie · 17/05/2020 21:11

What about Topsy or Tim? Lola or Charlie? Smile

Helenluvsrob · 17/05/2020 21:11

Tin tin or muddy for that touch of continental exotic.

Madeline as long as you live in an old house in Paris all covered in vines.

Helenluvsrob · 17/05/2020 21:11

M I f f y not muddy 😂

Chienloup · 17/05/2020 21:12

Dogger

Destroyedpeople · 17/05/2020 21:13

pipnchops · 17/05/2020 21:15

Biff is a girl, short for Elizabeth

Dollywilde · 17/05/2020 21:16
