Keith for a boy?

[Threeboysandadog]

What do you think?

Sure! Nothing wrong with Keith. It's a perfectly normal name and there won't be three others in his class.

this really made me laugh 😂😂

Are you having a 70 year old accountant?

I do know a 7 year old called Brian. Maybe these names are coming back 🤔

No 🥴

Oh hell no.

I know a child called Alan, that's bad enough 🤦‍♀️

I like Keith, it's a more solid-sounding Heath. I know it is less fashionable now than it was in the 1950s, but not long ago we'd have all been saying names like Lily and Jack were too old-fashioned to use.

These things tend to come in waves. I can remember my parents laughing at the idea of a baby called Arthur because they associated it with old people. If you like it, go for it.

I surprised myself by liking it!
Good strong name.

my parents always used to refer to Keiths as keich, which is a Scots word for shit.

It’s not an association I can get past, however niche.

To be fair, Keith for a girl would be a truly hilarious thread.

I like Keith. Also I've never.met a bad one.

Do that many people say Fink instead of Think, Frilled instead of Thrilled etc?

Many it's a dialect/regional thing?

Yes, it's extremely common - especially in the south-east. However, I went to school with a boy who did the opposite: he couldn't say 'F' and it came out as 'Th' - so "Three, Thour, Thive".

I know a 17 year old Dennis. He wears it well. And no one even thinks oooooer that's an odd name for a teenager.
If you like it, go for it! Better than a weird unique or made up name.

I think Dennis is cool though. It's still popular in Europe. Keith is marginally better than Kenneth or Kevin. But it still feels dated. Like a man who drinks real ale and has recently retired from the Health
And Safety executive

Like other surname vaguely Celtic names. Douglas and Clifford and Graham and Duncan.

I really dislike the name!

Dump and run OP lol. Nice try.

🤣

Gosh No. poor kid

I know only 1 Keith. He is in his 40's. Oh also he is a cunt.
Please don't do this to your baby.

Honestly I think it’s alright. It’s dated/old fashioned, yes. But it’s not offensive in any way or awful to wear. I think it’s okay.

Plus I think it’s a bit like meeting a toddler Gary/Brian/Alan etc. People assume it’s a child named after an older relative. And as those names become the names of our fathers and grandfathers etc, they will come back into common usage for children.

Awful. Dated not classic.

I absolutely love it. Also by the time he’s in school the name will be seen as a trendy retro name and you will be ahead of the curve.

I have always said on name threads your child your choice, but please please don't do this.
