Hi All,

Really struggling with baby boy names. What do you think of Warren?

To me it's along the same lines as Darren.

It's dated and not very nice for a little baby.

There's so many nicer boys names 🤷‍♀️

Ooh - no, it makes me think of rabbits - also it’s from the Darren and Gary era so very dated.

Only if you preface it with Rabbit.

Very retro sounding - it kind of reminds me of Glen in a similar style, old fashioned “nature” names that you rarely hear that much anymore. Dont love it, don’t hate it either- though I admit I’d be surprised to hear it on baby rather than an older man.

Still with your family links I think you should at least use it for a middle name, even if you find something you like better for the first.If you do use it as a first, I’d give him a more timeless/always popular middle name to fall back on - your Thomas, William, James, Edward, Alexander, Joseph, Daniel etc sort of name.

I can't believe I'm the first person to mention Buffy!

No. It's really bad.

Just sat your post that it's your mum's maiden name. It's totally fine a surname or even middle name (my DD has a surname as a middle name also) but dear God not as a first name!

I knew of an older Warren who wasn't nice to people. Everyone called him 'Warren aresehole'. Food for thought..

My XH was called Warren. Awful man.

I only know one who would be in his 70s now. He was a crook and was given a prison sentence although I don’t think he ever served it. So I’m another with bad associations.

One of my sons favourite jokes aged 12;

What d'ya call a man with 50 rabbits up his bum?

Cariadxx · 21/04/2024 16:28

Awful and chavvy name round us

✔️There's your middle name sorted.

Awful name
