Don’t laugh but…

Think I’ve found the perfect name for DD. Disclaimer: DD’s first name translates to ‘loveable’ in husband’s native language.

So DS name could be … ‘Mungo’. It’s Celtic for loveable too.

How bad is it?

Mungo… time for dinner!
Awesome job Mungo!
Let’s talk about Mungo’s school report.

Please someone tell me it’s a grower.

Harbin is so cute Congratulations on your new baby

[Spidey66]

Not heard of Harbin, but actually I like it.

[LadyHalesBroach]

I mean I did just literally post that I wasn’t going to do it but please do keep shitting on the name

[Scarby9]

My brother was at school with a Mungo. As others have said, from a Scottish family. Always seemed normal after an initial 'Oh? Unusual'

[TheCreamCaker]

Mungo Jerry (In the summertime)
Mary, Mungo and Midge.

It's an awful name. Don't do it.

[LadyHalesBroach]

A little update… nothing official because baby isn’t here yet (any day now!) but given some of the replies about Mungo, we just couldn’t do it.

Instead we’ve managed to find a Welsh name that DH and I can agree on…

Harbi, Harby or Harbie but registered Harbin. Harbin is Welsh but has a Germanic meaning apparantly too that means warrior. Unfortunately in Welsh it means ‘son of Owen’ and no, my husband is not Owen.

No negative replies please, my ears are covered and I’m going lalalalala.

St. Mungo's Day is the 13th January, if you can hold on till then...??!!!

[AuntDympna]

Solstice baby!

[BlueFlavour]

Mungo is lovely @LadyHalesBroach
I remember that stage so well
Good luck

[LadyHalesBroach]

Three more weeks to go. I’m at the ‘get the kid the fuck out of me now’ stage.

I’m warming back to Mungo. I shall let you all know! He’s currently 97th centile and the aonographer today said ‘woah check out the hair’ so I dunno but Mungo feels like a good fit for a baby gorilla.

[AuntDympna]

Good luck Broach! Are you nearly there yet?

[LadyHalesBroach]

@FriedasCarLoad - it's welsh, so pronounced MAB-LEE. Not Mayble.

[LadyHalesBroach]

woah @MonicaGellerBing - u OK hun?

Haven't been back to this thread for a while but thanks for the positivity - rightly or wrongly!

But no thanks to Monica. December getting to you? I have a spare grip if you'd like it.

[MonicaGellerBing]

Oh ffs op get a grip

[cloudtree]

David, Lief and Jebediah (Jeb) all also mean beloved

[FriedasCarLoad]

I quite like Mungo

But I'm confused about your explanation of Mabli. I assumed Mab rhymed with tab, until you said it was like Mable. So does the first syllable rhyme with Tab or Save?

[Peregrina]

Go for it. If names like Arther and Elsie can come back, why can't Mungo?

[Velvetbee]

I love it. It depends where you live, Mungo would be fine here - cathedral city in the South - but then we have plenty of Tristan’s and Ptolemy’s too.

[Saoirsesersha]

I quite like it
At least your DS won’t be yet another Theo/Alfie/Jack/Harry/Oliver! 🥱

[nancywhisky]

but it's a fab name, so it gets the Go For It vote from me.

[nancywhisky]

We live in Scotland. Ds was going to be Mungo. But a work colleague called his son Mungo two months before DS was born and we didn't use it. ( But he has a similar name using pretty much the same letters in a different order!)

[Hoowhoowho]

Mabli and Mungo go beautifully together. It’s odd but not outlandish, as long as you have some Scottish heritage I’d go for it.

[Pigsears]

Mungo is a great name for a boy.

There is a Mungo National Park in Australia.
