What are your thoughts on Bellamy for a boy?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
FreeBritnee · 03/08/2021 09:16

Nope.

wizzywig · 03/08/2021 09:16

Bellamy brothers or David. But I'm old

emmathedilemma · 03/08/2021 09:22

Nope

SprayedWithDettol · 03/08/2021 09:23

He will be called bellendy

whoslaughingnow73 · 03/08/2021 09:23

It's a surname, and he'll get called bellend by other teenagers at school.

It's a no from me.

DinosaurDiana · 03/08/2021 09:26

Absolutely not.

Emanchego · 03/08/2021 09:27

lol

Duetorain · 03/08/2021 09:27

Only know it as a surname. If you want an French origin name how about Albert?

ZenNudist · 03/08/2021 09:29

Will make a top middle name with David as a first name

Urghhhhh · 03/08/2021 09:30

No way.

@SprayedWithDettol

He will be called bellendy
Oh no! You're right!
stargirl1701 · 03/08/2021 09:33

The 100?

mafted · 03/08/2021 09:33

I know one. Most people call him Bells.

Kanaloa · 03/08/2021 09:36

I’ve never seen the 100 but read the book when I was younger so associate it with that really. I don’t think it’s the nicest name.

Bryonyshcmyony · 03/08/2021 09:37

That's a hard pass from me

PearlFriday · 03/08/2021 09:38

I like it! although it makes me think of Bel Ami by Guy de Maupassant
I always thought it would be a lovely name.

Bryonyshcmyony · 03/08/2021 09:39

Even I'd think Bellend, never mind the other kids

badacorn · 03/08/2021 09:43

No. Would be lovely if I had never heard the term bellend.

Ozanj · 03/08/2021 09:46

I think the name would only suit your son if he looked exactly like Bob Morley. Grin

NoviceNewMN · 03/08/2021 09:48

No.
David Bellamy and David Bellamy impressions:

BingBongToTheMoon · 03/08/2021 09:51

No, it’s a surname.
I have a real dislike for surnames as christian names.

NonShallot · 03/08/2021 09:52

Is in Matt Bellamy, lead singer of Muse? If so, don't name your child after your own interests, allow them a bit of autonomy poor thing! They will forever be explaining what their name means long after Muse are long gone and the younger generation have never heard of them.

FayeFayeFayeFayeFaye · 03/08/2021 09:53

David.

ArsenicNLace · 03/08/2021 10:01

Awful. But then I knew someone with the surname Bellamy and he was always known as 'Bellend' because he was irrespective of name.

PattyPan · 03/08/2021 10:01

I thought bellend, followed by Matt. Definite no.
