Thoughts on Morris as boys name?

[armt]

We’re struggling. Love Morris! We like “posh” boy names. But our friends have used many of the names we love.

thoughts?

I can't get over Ralph and the penis reference in Forever. I'm sure it's been forgotten since but it still makes me snort like a pathetic 12 year old.

Sorry OP but I really don't like it.

I love it when spelled "Maurice".

How about Morrissey?

I certainly wouldn't consider maurice or morris as posh names .

I’m going against the grain here but I quite like it!
And as pps have said, it’s a legit first name.
Less fuddy duddy than Maurice IMO

I know a young Morris. I like it!

@angelinawasrobbed It's a surname and too connected with an individual. One strictly for fans of The Smiths. It would be like calling a baby Sting or Bono.

Morris isn't a 'posh boy' name.

Makes me think of Mr Morris who wanted to marry Nice Grandma in Friday Night Dinner.
He was so appalling Nice Grandma pretended to die on her wedding day.

"Have you soiled yourself?"

I like it. Morris as a spelling for a first name (rather than Maurice) is quite common in Wales.

I don’t really Maurice because it can be pronounced Maurice or Morris - same as Louis and Lewis, the kid would spend his life correcting people.

You want posh?
Montague
Algernon
Cedric
Eustace
Hugo
plus I remember seeing a very posh bloke on "Location, Location, Location" called Hereward.
Go for it 😁

Or Peregrine.

@MonetsLilac , Hugo is not posh. It might have been in the past.

Ok. Opinions differ.

That's a great posh name!

@MonetsLilac it's in the top 50 boys' names. They won't all be posh.

Ok. Fine. This is just a light-hearted name suggestion thread. I'm not here for an argument.

Anyway, OP - good luck! I'm off now because I am not up for any silly argy bargy.
Go for Morris if you like it!

MonetsLilac is quite posh though 😉

Whatever posh is.

I was at school with a boy called Morris . His father was also Morris so son was known as Morris Minor !

Heh @Mylovelygreendress that's cute.

Sorry i think its awful.

Its shorthand round here for Morris Dancing (the modern version teenage girls do)

Only other connections I can immediately think of is the supermarket Morrisons

I know 2 - one spelt Maurice and is 50 years old & another 15 year old spelt Morris.

Both lovely & somehow just suit the name!

Maurice is much nicer!
