Long name for Cuddy

163 replies

We're expecting our second baby and I am really keen on Cuddy as a name, which is usually a nickname for Cuthbert. We live in Northumberland so it has connection to St Cuthbert. But my husband isn't keen on Cuthbert, but only likes Cuddy if it's a nickname for something else. Any suggestions for what the birth name could be if we shorten to Cuddy?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Cud, then lengthen to Cuddy. Would give the lad something to chew on?

Sorry OP it's an awful name and even worse with a Geordie accent!

Cuthbert is the Aldi caterpillar cake.
If you really want Cuddy then I’d go for a different name then call him that at home. Personally I think of chewing the cud which isn’t very positive
Do you like similar names like Coby, Cody, Corey?

Isn't cuddy the Geordie word for horse?

Scautish · 25/01/2024 12:25

are you winding us up?

If you’re not, please don’t do this to the poor child. It’s a hideous name. So ugly and he’s going to be called cunty at school.

I think Cuthbert is actually a really strong and timeless name, especially as it has roots in your region. Cuddy is indeed the short version and I like that too. It makes a bloody change from Alfie, Archie, Charlie and Noah etc. There won't be thousands of others with the same name and a good, strong and individual name is very important.

Think about it! You’re naming a child not an animal. I wish parents would think about these things

WhenWereYouUnderMe · 25/01/2024 12:29

Cuddy?! Like, as in, horse?!

Mudflapflat · 25/01/2024 12:29

Sounds like you’re naming a teddy bear not a human.

Cullen is the best (or least bad) option mentioned. Cullen Daniel, David, Dominic, maybe?

Go the whole hog and call him Cullen Skink?

Constable Cuddy was the first dwarf member of the Discworld Night Watch, until his untimely demise at the hands of a serial killer.

Cullen is the best (or least bad) option mentioned.

It only makes me think of Cullen Skink. Which is very nice as fishy soups go but for a persons name, not so much!

Cody is a not-uncommon name - and would probably sound quite similar to Cuddy in a Geordie/NE accent.

My dog is called Cody 😂

Gies a cuddy back.

As said by many a Scottish child to their pal. (Meaning piggy back)

ChaCha5678 · 25/01/2024 13:01

I don't think this is a serious post but just in case.... congratulations on your pregnancy and for the love of God please don't name your child Cuddy! The school bullies will have a field day forever, Cuddy in the nuddy he's a muddy fuddy duddy. Please don't do it to him oh and don't name him Cuthbert either because that's a name for a 90 year old Tory not a baby! Insane in the brain 🤪

Cuddies are donkeys but also wee tiny fish that are useless for eating so they get thrown back in!!!

tara66 · 25/01/2024 13:13

Sorry - hate Cuddy - what a burden.
