Can I call my child Duckie?

[magicstar2020]

I really love it.
Is it the pregnancy hormones? Or is it as great as I think it is?

As their actual name? Or in a "Come here Duckie" affectionat nick name?

Definitely not a great name choice.

Duck or ducky/duckie is a term of endearment, 'alright duckie?' similar to my love, sweet, so it will sound odd to anyone from the area that says that.

It is also, google says, slang for women's breasts as used by Henry VIII.

It's up to you, but I'm going with a no.

Your child's name should be able to carry it through nursery, school, board room, building site, and maturity. Can you imagine a CEO being called Duckie? Or a guy on the building site? Or a teacher? You can call it Duckie as your special nick name but definitely not for life's journey into the big wide world.

Dulcie with NN Duckie?

Is your surname Mallard?

We found out she was a girl at 10 weeks 😂

DD has a friend who went by Duckie for a while - in primary school she was Rosie* and after the Duckie era she goes by Rose - bet she was happy to have the options

*not real name but something along those lines.

(edited to remove bold)

Go with Quackers, it’s much better.

Def no

Dulcie?

Duckie is a hard no.

What is wrong with you?!?! Read your question over and over OP. You nutter

There was a character called Ducky in NCIS. He was fictional though, and it was a nickname.

😂😂

Only if this is an accurate picture of you and your lil' family😀

You misspelled Dulcie right?

Sorry it would be an awful nickname. As an actual name it would be cruel.

Of course you can.

It would be different if you were an actual duck. That would be confusing. Too many other ducks!

But, you're a person, so it's fine.

You cannot be serious 😾

No. Ducks are evil. Well, the male ones are.

Nah. What about Vera - ? Dafne?

Mind you I do know a little Bunny

How about Dulcie?

No

🤣🤣🤣

No. It's way too popular. 🦆

If you want them them to get the shit kicked out of them at school then yes it’s a fab name.
