Sorry but I’m struggling to get past ‘Baby.’ You do know you’re naming a person who will eventually become an adult, not a doll, right? I’d also worry it’s a bad omen to give your baby a name that suggests s/he won’t make it to childhood.

No, not 'Baby'
But maybe 'Fetus' - it sounds a bit sort of 'Greek Goddish'.
Or 'Embryo' (Ember)

Samuel and Autumn are nice.
absolutely NO to baby. Is your favourite film Dirty Dancing??

This. Imagine being in your 20s and starting work and having to introduce yourself as Baby, especially as a man. Don’t be cruel to
your child before they’re even born!

I’ve met two adult people named Baby! :)

All fine except Baby. That's not a name for anyone out of infancy and a teenager would hate you for it. It's a nickname you can use for the first couple of years, like most people do and like it was in the film.

My teen boys have a couple of friends called Arthur and it goes down well.

Haha I get asked that a lot, but no! I’ve just met a few Baby’s and loved their name!

I’ve met multiple adults with this name and they’ve had no issue. I’ve met people with MUCH more ridiculous names that I would consider bullying 😬

I teach teenager boys and the idea of one of them being called Jassie or Baby is making my toes curl. Quite cruel really.

I expected the backlash on Baby but Jasper? That’s quite a common and traditional name?? Jassie is the natural nickname for it, but of course they don’t have to use that nickname with their friends. The name Jasper is quite old, I thought!

Effie
Brodie

Betty

mysoulmio · 27/10/2025 09:48

Jasper is fine. Jessie and Baby are nicknames used by your mum. NOT your mates at school or down the Rugby club or even at Ballet School - you have no idea what kind of personality, hobbies, looks a baby boy would grow into. Can you imagine a male judge called Baby?

What names do you feel are worse than Baby?!

why did you quote me? Are you trying to tell me Meadow is worse than name Baby? Because it obviously isn't.

I didn't meant to quote anyone. Although Paisley is awful! It is rubbish town.

Were they born and raised in the UK or similar country with English as the first language? I have met a woman called Baby but it was in India. I can’t imagine a teen sitting in an English-speaking secondary school whilst the register is being called with the name Baby without being teased miserably, especially a boy! It would be cruel to call a child Baby in the UK, they absolutely will have issues as they grow up.

THISbitchingwitch · 27/10/2025 11:30

Baby is fucking awful. Thats your hormones making you crazy op

One of my DC names is on your list - i wont say which as possibly outing as not common
