Diggory

[Poppetts1234]

I love it husband hates it
I think it’s cool- digs for short

The name Diggory is a boy's name of French origin meaning "Lost one".
It used to be a name used in Cornwall a long time a go.

What do you think?

Nope.

I never understood why you'd want to call a child 'Perdita' either.

I love it! Not that way out at all, considering some of the names you hear, and is a proper name with history, so...

I love it. I've loved it since I read The Magician's Nephew.

How can it be a French boys name when it literally sounds like you are saying "ten gorillas" in French (Dix gorilles)

For that reason it's a no from me.

My first thought was Diggory Venn.
Not keen tbh

Cute for a puppy. Awful for a child

I know a few but your DH hates it so it’s a no go.

I hate it. But so what? Great for a dog(gery).

I know a few but your DH hates it so it’s a no go
You actually know a few people called Diggery? I lived in places over 3 continents, travelled for years and never met a single one. Where do you live?

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up

It makes me think of Hey Duggee

What about Douglas, nickname Doug or Dougie?

Dreadful , as is Digs as a nn . Cute for a puppy though Diggory dog .

@NailsNeedDoing

But you know Voldemort killed Cedric don’t you? Harry Potter is popular enough that that is what most people will think of, apart from the small children that would be your child’s first friends who would think of digging in mud or sand or something.

Spoiler

😂

I was thinking of The Secret Garden but that was Dickon

Love it!
But then I also like Mungo, Hector, Magnus and Horatio so I can't be trusted!

ProperVexed, those are four of my favourite boys’ names!

Absolutely awful im afraid

Love Mungo

I love it. I have Cornish ancestors called Diggory.
Also: The Magician’s Nephew.

Diggory is a dog's name

It has no redeeming features whatsoever.

I like it! I always think of the magicians nephew when I hear it.

I’ve loved it ever since The Magician’s Nephew too. I also like Dicken but obviously that could be problematic….

I went to school with a boy who’s middle name was Diggory (in Cornwall). We all used to call him Diggory as teens. Nice guy. We liked the name.
