Weber?

Opinions on Weber?

Dh likes if we have a boy, I’m not so sure.

It will be forever misspelt as Webber imo (since that's a more popular spelling for the surname). I also think it's not a particularly nice sound and there is no obvious nn if he doesn't like it.

But if it has family meaning for you I've heard far worse! If it's just the "surname as not too popular given name" you like then Heath, Maxwell, Bennett, Vaughan, Clark etc are all nicer imo.

Terrible

I think of the composer too and would def pronounce it Vay-ber (which sounds better than Webber anyway). But nah... Don't do it.

Yuk

Bbq

I do like my Weber bbq. But wouldn't name a child after it.

Gerry Weber

My mother's favourite clothing brand.

As in, Max Weber?

It's not a name? It's a surname.

Like the BBQ?

Don't do it. It's a (not uncommon) German surname and brand name.

A PR agency

Good name for a Weimaraner.

German sociologist to me too I'm afraid!

First thought BBQ
Second thought is your DH German?
Third thought it will be forever mia spelt and mis pronounced.

It's a barbeque.

I prefer the name George Foreman

Didn't he call all his kids George too?!

We buy industrial electronics from a German company called this

His five sons are George Jr., George III ("Monk"), George IV ("Big Wheel"), George V ("Red"), and George VI ("Little Joey").

Nothing egotistical and weird there!

Not entirely egotistical - I think only one of his seven? daughters got a George name (Georgetta?). No Georgina's, Georgies or anything. Practically restrained.

My first thought was carburetors.
But that could be webber?

As a German speaker, I think it’s weird. It will get mispronounced and misspelt, probably Spider-Man jokes too.

Which country will he be growing up in ?
As that might make a difference.

Like the BBQ?

Max or Bruce?
