Thoughts on the name Wybie?

[Lilacbluewaters]

we really like this name for our baby boy but everyone we have told in real life hates it and says he would be bullied as he grows older. But this generation of children has all sorts of names and I don’t think it’s a name that’s bully worthy?

No.

So why give your child a name that pretty much guarantees it? Do t be so ridiculous

Completely off-topic, of course, but I see it's half-term and rather cold and damp outside.

Why be giving your baby a name that is so fraught with complication?

what about:

Miley
Wylie
Shelby
Albie

thank you, to say parents are abusive for certain name choices is absurd. I think people need to look at what an actual abusive parent is

If this is genuine, and I have my doubts, being a parent means putting them first. Not indulging whims which will unnecessarily make life difficult for them.

I have a boy and a girl. I spent a lot of time choosing names that they could pretty much fit in anywhere with. And it’s worked.

If real, you are being ridiculously selfish in thinking of choosing a name which is plain stupid

She said she won't use it.

I doubt she will.

Why-be ! Can you really not hear the mickey taking ?
Why be an idiot
Why be a dinosaur
and on and on

Secondary teacher here

No. It’s awful

Moby (dick) really???

I would leave the Dick bit off ...😂

Whyme? 😭

you can bet your life his little school chums wouldn't

How about Digby?

My daughter had a Digby in her class - he got teased even more than Silvercup and Angelfaith 😳

It’s really really stupid

Robbie

Maybe named after the Yamaha yb100

Ask the father of your child if he would have honestly liked it as his name? Or ask any male you know.

Whynot instead

Seriously

Not a name I would choose but you aren't me

It doesnt matter what school setting he goes to, children will poke fun at a silly name and he will get all sorts of nicknames and teased for it. Why risk that for your child?

Also , what about when he becomes an adult? Whilst Wybie might sound cute as a name for a child (to you), are people going to take him seriously as an adult with a name like that? He wouldnt even be able to shorten it to something sensible.

@Lilacbluewaters where will your dc be going to school that you can be sure there will be no vile bullies? Bullying is nasty for sure. It's also everywhere. Unless you are HEing but even then they will meet other DC (I hope) and I think even the nicest might raise an eyebrow at Wybie (sorry I spelled it wrong before). I'm quite nice and not a bully but I don't think it's a,good choice, for all the reasons given.

I don’t like the name Wybie.
Other names:
Wylie, Frankie, Douggie, Paulie, Jeremy, Eddie, Billy, Toby, Robbie, Timothy, Stevie… ?

It's not really a name though is it?! It's a made up name, given to a specific character in a movie, for a particular reason! Whybe - short for Whyborn - as in Why were you born. It's dreadful. Please don't saddle your child with this! He will stand out at school for all the wrong reasons - his weird name!
