bobby maison reid???

[KiddieCare]

we are having a lil boy wat do you think of this name, reid is the surname.
but would you spell it mason or maison?

Mason, definitely. Maison is the french for 'house'.

mason for me too

Sorry, sounds like someone who might assassinate the president of the USA

(and if you spelt it 'maison' that means 'house' in french)

Maison would be pronounced by a lot of people as May-zon, as it'a a French word.

Mason is chav central.
Bobby quite sweet.

Robert Mason Reid sounds far more distinguished.

Personally, I don't like either, sorry

lol Moomin. You are not wrong there.

Mason is not so good.

Bobby is OK but not Robert Reid.

what about Ned?

Bobby's great.

dp is robert so def will stick to bobby, i cant believe i didnt realise bout the whole french spelling, thanks for that, bobby mason reid it is then xxxx

Love the name Bobby. My son's 8 and the only Bobby in his school. A Bobby could be plumber, a lawyer or an actor and the name would still fit. I love it. Don't like Mason though.

Bobby yes mason defintely no.Just Bobby on its own is fine

Bobby OK, Mason quite chavvy I'm afraid.

I don't like Bobby on its own, sounds like it's named after Bobby Charlton (not a fan of sports-inspired names, esp football.)

Bobby Darin, Bobby Kennedy, Bobby De Niro ... Nothing to do with sport. I think it's such a cool name.

I would also prefer Bobby as a nickname and Robert (or even Robin?) as the real name.

Mason is fine (definitely not Maison!)

Would definately go with Robert as the name - it gives him more options when he is older (eg he may want to be Robert at work), and you can always use Bobby in the family to distinguish between him and your dp.

Of course they were actually called Robert. None of them were known as Robert though (except De Niro, of course, but he's known as Bobby to his friends - I've read enough about him to know this). My son's called Robert too, but we don't use the name. He's not Robbie or Rob (too blokish), he's Bobby.
