Stanley?

Nice of not?

A solid vintage name along the lines of Arthur, Wilfred, Albert etc. I think it’s got character.

I love Stanley. Also love Stan. I know one (10y)

Terrible.

Have taught a couple of young boys named Stanley - shortened to Stan as they got a bit older. They were nice boys so I have no negative connotations with the name.

No! Right now it would make me think you'd named your kid based on oversized coloured coffee mugs that people obsess over on tik tok!

I love it! I really really don't like 'modern' names and so 'old man names' are so much superior in the Name Leagues!!

Baby Stan. God it’s terrible.

I like Stanley. It's traditional and doesn't feel dated now it's been revived for the past 15 years or so. Stan is a cool nickname.

In your opinion (which is fine, we all have them). Just because you think it's terrible though, does not mean others won't like it. It wouldn't be top 100 if it wasn't loved 'in the real world' (whatever that is meant to mean). Clearly plenty of people, beyond those on mumsnet, do love it for it to be where it is in the charts.

There are many top 100 names I think are terrible too, but I accept there must be plenty of people who do love them for them to be up there in the charts.

Thank goodness we all love different names. The world would be incredibly boring if we all picked the same ones.

I like it. Think it works well for all ages - baby/child Stanley is cute, adult Stanley is solid.

I used to like it 4/5 years ago but now I just think cup.

Love it. Especially the shortened 'Stan'

Is it my dog? 😂

It's ok

Cup

Makes me think of penguins, or Dorothy Zbornak's husband from Golden Girls.

I think it's kind of edgy/out there for a girl - it was Barack Obama's mother's name but she always went by Anne.

I went straight for "Ogden"
Showing my age 😂

I think it's awful. Sorry

Would have picked it for my son 🥰 unfortunately his dad didn't like it. Lovely name imo!

I have a 4 year old Stanley. The name really suits him. All his friends call him Stan which he loves and thinks is very cool.

Love it 😀

Oh yes! Stanley is fab.

I know two ...
Baby and a toddler

Dreadful

Oh I like it! I know a lot of elderly chaps called Stanley through work and they are all lovely. Definitely due a revival!

I know a 30 year old Stanley who is really quite cool! Not one of mine, but extended family. I say go for it!
