Hardin

[StrawberryMacaron]

What does everyone think of Hardin for a boy? I heard it recently and I really like it.

I think of Hawarden. And hard on, of course. You might as well call him Yrection.

Yrection

If you want your son to be constantly giggled at for having an erection, and be subjected to knob jokes, then go for it. But you clearly disagree with every poster, so why bother asking!? It's definitely a penis name.

Too much teasing potential I'm afraid- kids absolutely will call him hard-on

Oh dear god no - totally sounds like hard-on, he'll be teased mercilessly.

Another vote for hard-on. Sorry OP but it definitely WOULD be a problem in real life. We are real life!

No

@StrawberryMacaron

Really? I would never have made that connection. I'm not sure that it would be a big problem in real life though.

You must be pretty much the only one not to make that connection. The vast majority would think it, even if they didn't say it.

It was my first thought too, sorry.

It's a hard no for Hardin from me. It would be really unfair to saddle your child with this name!

God no

I’m not sure that it would be a big problem in real life

Come on Op if we made the hard on connection as grown adults do you honestly think teenage boys won’t. He’s not going to stay a baby for ever is he.

I thought hard-on too. Kids can be cruel.

Oh come on OP, you can’t be serious.

Kids don’t tease each other about their names anywhere near as much as MNers think BUT you cannot put a child through school with a name that sounds like ‘hard-on’.

Really sorry OP was coming in to say hard on and saw that's what everyone else was saying 🤦🏻‍♀️

It could only be worse if you named a daughter it.

@ZoyaTheDestroyer maybe not in your school, but they definitely do in mine! Even the most tenuous link gets a nick name!

No

@Spudina

Have you been watching After??? Only works in the movie I’m afraid.

I did see After! Not a fan of the character really, but his name stood out.

I'm not a "typical" MNer I don't think but my mind absolutely did jump straight to Hard on.

Just no.

Good gracious no!

Your poor child would have the absolute piss ripped out of him as a child, and as an adult.

Some parents selfishly give their children vile/ ridiculous names, and then the kids have a horrendous time with bullies and nasty comments. Very selfish and irresponsible.

Yep, hard on. Absolute recipe for disaster.

Fnarr fnarr.

I knew someone with the surname Harden (not the same but very similar) and they did get nicknamed Hard-on so I would say no
