What do you think of Logan/Log as name for brother of River. Log and River so it's nature based but doesn't have to stay Log so will use Logan on BC and he can have Logan as adult if he wants?

I like Logan. Not “log”

Dancingonmyownagain · 28/03/2022 18:56

Log is a dreadful nickname. Logan is nice

thingymaboob · 28/03/2022 18:57

Logan is fine but Log is awful.
Might as well call them branch or pebble

Phyllis321 · 28/03/2022 18:57

Please don't call your child Log.

Logan is a nice name. I don’t know about you but I pronounce it Low-Gan. The first part I say to rhyme with ‘no’ so I don’t actually say the word log in the name.

Kanaloa · 28/03/2022 18:59

I will say though if you want a nature name choose a nature name - don’t try and impose a nature name into another name you like. Personally I don’t like themes so I’d just go with Logan.

Logan is nice.

Log evokes Viz-style slang remarks about huge shits.

Qwill · 28/03/2022 18:59

Log sounds like a poo.

Mrstwiddle · 28/03/2022 18:59

It’s very American, I really don’t like it myself. As for shortening it to Log…I hope you’re kidding.

pradavilla · 28/03/2022 18:59

Name Logan is fine but nickname log 😳 absolutely not!

AHungryCaterpillar · 28/03/2022 19:01

Log = poo

LoganberryJam · 28/03/2022 19:03

Sorry but I agree with everyone else. Logan is a nice name but I don't like Log as a nickname. I mean maybe a funny name used within the family, but not to introduce him to people as Log.

gunnersgold · 28/03/2022 19:05

I have a Logan and he is mostly known as Logi .

titchy · 28/03/2022 19:05

Log and River Shock Shit and Piss. Fuck that's bad.

canyoubelievethat · 28/03/2022 19:06

Log? I'm not sure about that, but I do like Logan.

DotDotDotDotDot · 28/03/2022 19:08

Sorry but Log just made me laugh out loud!! Growing up with many brothers I can tell you log is very much toilet humour! Please don’t do that if this is real.

JamSandwich89 · 28/03/2022 19:11

Hmmm I don't get Log as a shortened version of Logan if it's pronounced like a log... a piece of wood. Surely it would be pronounced Low-g? Also makes me think of a jobby Confused Sorry

Logan is too close to the word Lagan - the River Lagan is in Northern Ireland - reminds me of Ted in Line of Duty: 'Do you think I came up the Lagan in a bubble?'

Dsisproblem · 28/03/2022 19:26

Log Shock not the best nickname

kitcat15 · 28/03/2022 19:28

Log is awful ...but so is Rover...total naff name🙄

kitcat15 · 28/03/2022 19:28

River even

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 28/03/2022 19:29

Jog on Log on

AlpineSue · 28/03/2022 19:30

Do not call a child log. That is beyond cruel. Log is a noun not a name. And it’s a noun which means poo.

KaptainKaveman · 28/03/2022 19:31

Awful and very chavvy. Soz.

KirstenBlest · 28/03/2022 19:33

You might as well call him Turd
