Ok, help me out here...

[heartonastring]

I am in love with the name Digby for for my ds who is due in 8 weeks. It's the only name I like and has been top from thr beginning but i just don't know if I'm being ridiculous and the hormones have gone into over drive?
My DH likes it too and has suggested the name Walter as an alternative which I quite like.
My DH has now said he won't discuss names until the baby comes and we can see what he might look like (I feel I may have been driving my usually very laidback DH quite potty with the name situation!!)

It sounds like Digby or Walter (or both- using one as a middle name) are the names. You've pretty much decided. Just wait to meet your little boy. Sometimes we do change our minds. But you probably won't. Personally, I think this is your DH's subtle way of saying, "Make it stop!"
Congratulations! You're almost there.

Haha thank you @TheVanguardsix he is so patient so I know it's his way of saying to just relax!
I was just interested in what others thought of my name choice or if I'm being silly.

I like it. Its not that crazy.

Digby is a lovely name. You and your dh like it. Great! Where's the issue?

Thanks for the replies. I thought digby might be too out there. My mil (who I love and respect dearly) keeps saying it's a dogs name so wondered if i would be silly to use it.

I know more dogs called Jack, Oscar and Tom!

Go with what ever you and your partner like. It's not hormones hun. Everyone said hat to me when I wanted to call my baby Dolly. Which I went ahead with and 2 years later I'm still so in love with the name

Personally I prefer Walter - and I have met several dogs called Digby - but I don’t think it’s horrible. I can’t help but say it in a fake posh accent though

@catenthusiast haha, I never thought about it like that, but now that you mention it, Walter sounds much more posher when I say it that Digby!

I love it!!

Ok I'm first thinking digby dragon the kids programme.

To me it sounds like a dogs name though, sorry.

Im not keen on walter.. it will be shortened to Walt and its a little unattractive, sorry

Digby is really sweet and unusual

I grew up with a boy named Diggory, I prefer Digby I think! Much better than Walter.

I don’t love it for a teenager. But think it’s cute for a baby x

I think Digby is terrible. I can only picture a red trousered, overweight antiques dealer from Marlow.

I think Digby is a great name and much better suited to a teenager than say Teddie or Alfie, both of which seem popular for babies these days.

Thanks for all the replies! Feeling a bit more confidnt about our choices now.
@Whatthebloodyell I promise to never dress him in red trousers but the imagery really made me laugh!

ISWUM that the name is cute for a baby but perhaps not suitable for a teenager but I think he would probably have a nickname by then!
My eldest is named Fred and someone once commented that it was a great name for his 40's and beyond and not great for a baby. However he totally suits it and he is never not cute!

I like it! But I'm not so keen on Walter.

I don't like it. There's a Digby on Made in Chelsea and even all the self proclaimed Toffs on there make fun of his name on the tv programme itself and chortle that "it's a silly dogs name". Digby himself is extremely attractive. His name is stupid.

Walter is lovely though

We don't share taste in names, OP.
I guess main thing is, if you choose something unusual, be confident the child will grown into it & make it their own. Short of "a boy named Sue" you'll make it work.

I know a Walter. His parents call him Wally though and I’m not keen on that. I prefer Walter to Digby though.

Ooh I've never watched made in Chelsea so never made the association.
I guess it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. I still don't have any other alternatives that my DH and I agree on. Digby is still top of the list

I associate Digby with a dog.
I don't like Walter. I went to school with one and he hated his name.

I was in the same class as a Digby at school. He was very polite and quiet. Makes me think of him.

Love Walter. Not so keen on Digby.
