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?

Plenty more, I'm sure.

That is not a name. That's child cruelty.

Wybie sounds like some sort of children's toy, and as has been pointed out, the origins rather dark.

Can you find something similar sounding? Robbie? Wiley? Riley?

Can’t you find something from another movie that’s better. I have two boys and I’m pretty sure they would hate having that name.

Give him something decent and use it as a nickname. He’ll tell you when he can if you can continue using it or to stop. Give the poor boy a choice at least.

whybie maybe

Reminds me of a Theybie.

Hideous.

Wybies wobble but they never fall down!

Aside from the fact it’s effing awful, the connection to Neil Gaiman is disturbing. Surely you can’t be serious?!

What about Wylie?

Again, not my kind of name but similar to Wybie without the associations.

awful

I just saw childminder park called
Willoughby

Murphy
Macauley

Ah like Wylie Coyote. These baby names threads are simultaneously hilarious and deeply disturbing.

If you like it so much, change your name to it, don't saddle your poor child with it. Why would you want to call your child 'why were you born'?

Don't be silly.

Whybe will one day be asking 'why me?' why did I have to be the one given a silly name?

A name not even fit for a dog ! (Sorry !)

Omg no,that's like WHYborn, you'll set him up for a lifetime of teasing!

Yes I found a list I made when pg with ds2 and it included Fairfax! Wtaf. Tho not as bad as Whybe, sorry @Lilacbluewaters-it sounds like Flybe and the meaning is horrible.

How about
Wilby short for Wilbur
Herbie
Mikey
Stanley
Toby?

Absolutely appalling suggestion for a name unless you plan to hate your DS in which case it will likely provide him with a lifetime of punishment.

It sounds pretentiously made up. Sorry.

Op your son will probably end up asking why me??

It makes me think 'Wipe-y', like a disinfectant cleaning wipe 🤔
