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?

What about Lee.

🙄

I usually try not to join in a pile on but that is one God awful name.

Wibey wouldn’t be on my personal list of names, simply because I don’t like it, but that’s “bye the bye” but naming your baby after a film character who was named for “why were you born” is frankly f*ed up. What on Earth are you thinking? 😳

Sorry but it’s a terrible name for your child to endure. Not only does it make no sense but it sounds silly when said out loud - a temptation to bully too in my opinion.

Not A?

Sorry but I think it’s possibly the most ridiculous name I’ve heard, even by Mumsnet standards. What’s wrong with a normal name like Peter or James? Or do you want your child to face being teased for having a mad name for his entire school years?0

Horrible name

I don't think I've ever heard of anything so awful and with so much potential to harm a child.

Seriously give your self a shake.

This is trolling, right?

And if it's not, the fact it looks like it is should maybe give you pause for thought.

Good God, no. The poor child will be torn to shreds.

Eddie

It's honestly a stupid name, sorry.

I love unusual names but this would be actively difficult for a kid, teenager or man to have as a name. If you’re set on it, I’d pick a longer name and use that as a nickname but absolutely give them the option not to use it.

If you’re looking for a rare or unique name, it’s better to go for more familiar sounds. Eg

Lux
Wilbur
Tabor
Farley
Beck
Jameson
Wilder
Asa
Wiley
Ashby

I also read the “why were you born” explanation, it’s a horrible name.

😂

Is this a joke? 🤣

Why be thinking up names like that

They've been a few name OPs in the last week or so, that I've assumed to be windups.

Just no. Awful name.

I don't need to add to the chorus of No.

If you like the "Wy" at the beginning and like something a bit off-road, what about Wyvern ((or Wynn or Wycliffe (but "wy" pronounced differently in those two))

You might like it but you will regret and if you don't your child certainly will.

Teacher here. I've had some strange names through my class, but this is up there as bonkers. Do not be so cruel to your child.

Isnt it short for whyborne in the Coraline movie? As in why we’re your born. No I wouldn’t call a child that.

Just reminds me of why bird from playdays.
