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?

This thread has gone me thinking about cute baby duckings goslings and cygnets. I’m sniding off with YouTube 🤣🤣

I think that Duckie is a lovely nickname for Donald, but i also think he’d disown you for using outside the house after the age of about 6.

@viques
You've single-handedly just convinced me I could never do it. You should see the size of my husbands nose.

Imagine yourself going about your business in the course of a typical week or at various life stages of life, and and if you might grow bored of people misunderstanding or taking the piss out of your name day in, day out. How might you feel going through life with the name?

Why do you hate your baby

This is a joke, isn’t it?

This

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I was going to say, 'only if your child is an NCIS doctor '
😆

My granny used to call everyone Duckie, a bit like people call loved ones Darling. However it's not a name. Don't do it OP.

NO

It's terrible
It's also a terrible nickname

Give the poor child a name that will result in them being mercilessly bullied for their entire childhood and overlooked for any job in adulthood.

As the child's given name?? You cannot be serious. LOL

Quack quack!

Quack quack!

Hey Duckie, can you speak to ducks?

Quack quack!

It's a bit like calling someone Puppy or Doggie.

Would you do that?

Guessing you’re not in Derbyshire…

That's who I immediately thought of - but I'm pretty sure that even in the film, his real name was Philip and Duckie was a nickname.

one of mine has acquired a nickname along similar lines. Very sweet when they are little. So many people chat to her and ask her how old she is and what her name is after I’ve been talking to her and saying would you like a drink goosey. Goosey are you cold. She replies h Mabel and I’m 3.

Really give the child a proper name. The random nickname will come later

Haha

Please don’t

As a pet name totally.

On their birth certificate... no, obviously.

Campbell, Rouen, Saxony, Duclair, Bach and Elizabeth are breeds of duck, while some are out there they could maybe be pulled off as names more so than Duckie.

It’s dreadful. You’d be setting the child up for a whole childhood of other children quacking at them.

At least it would stop when the child grows up, because he/she would change their name as soon as they could.

It's a cute nickname for a newborn baby so go for that if you're feeling it but in the name of all that is holy put it nowhere near the birth certificate.

Well if you hate your child then sure but if you think you will love your child then absolutely not.

Well, you can. No law against it as far as I am aware.

But just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

😂
Can't take this seriously

Everyone was duck / duckie to my Nan so might not stand out in some parts of the country !
But seriously please don’t .
