Alowicious

What do you think?

[OneTitWonder]

I think you've misspelled Aloysius.

[TheOnlyBeeInYourBonnet]

😆

[CucumberCool]

Is it? Ah, well that's one thing to consider if using the name!

[FictionalCharacter]

Looks like a cross between Aloysius and atrocious!

[BobbysGirly]

Alowicious? This is not a serious thread is it? Please say it’s not 😵‍💫

[CrispyNoodles]

It's bonkers saddling a child with a name like that. Give your head a wobble, OP.

Aloysius is familiar to Catholic name seekers as the name of the saint who died treating those afflicted by a pandemic. 😷

I spelt it wrong (only gave it a really quick Google) I mean Aloysius.

Heard it on the radio, wondered what people thought of the name...

[ShippingNews]

If you can't spell it, don't saddle your child with it.

Sebastian's teddy bear.

(Nobody will get that reference)

[Ericaequites]

Your son will spend his life spelling it for people, and having bureaucrats misspell it. It’s an aggravation for all involved. John is a nice name.

[IamThegreaterMole]

Well, deffo get the spelling right. But it really depends on whether or not you like Al or Ally, because realistically that’s what he will end up with unless he’s either done something wrong or collecting an award.

Not pregnant, not thinking of actually naming my non existent baby Aloysius.
As I said, I heard it on the radio and wondered what others thought if the name.

I like it, as a sound. Practically, not an easy name. But if it became very popular it wouldn't be an issue.
I imagine people named Niamh or Siobhan still exist..

Just what I was going to say @Breezycheesetrees

Sebastian's teddy bear.

Of course! I recognised it from somewhere

[minisoksmakehardwork]

Ds1's middle name is Aloysius. Dh loves the name as it's a character in his favourite book series.

It's also the first name of the mammoth in Sesame Street and Parker in thunderbirds.

Dh wanted it as a first name but we came up with something else as we felt a lifetime of spelling and pronouncing his first name would drive us all nuts.

Yup. Nobody has heard of Hancock.

Anyway it's a terrible name. Imagine a poor child (even if they're imaginary!) learning to spell it!

Yes but when did you last meet a child called Sho'Vaughan? Or Neev?

Thank you for a moment of joy Googling up old Tone (Anthony Aloyious St John Hancock for those less elderly than myself).

[BagpussBagpussOldFatFurryCatpuss]

Yes, go for Alowicious.
An original spelling.

i also like Tiphaniee for a girl or R’Chee for a boy. 🤣

[Lilacsunflowers]

Aloysius is nice. I know a German Alois.

[Boudica66]

Thats my dogs name
But not spelt like that
