Is Disney a silly name?

[GuyForksAndKnives]

I think it is. I'd be mortified if I was named that.

It's a surname isn't it?

You mean as a first name? Do you know a baby called this?

Yes it’s ridiculous. I really hope if a parent wanted to name their child that, the registry office wouldn’t allow it.

Yes

Ridiculous name, but I don't think this falls under the reasons a name can be refused in the UK. I got this list from the deed poll office website:

Are impossible to pronounce

Include numbers, symbols, or punctuation marks (not including hyphens or apostrophes)

Are considered offensive, vulgar, or blasphemous by the deed poll service

Fraudulent (inferring the child has a rank, title, or inherited honor)

Yes

Child Abuse

I think Walt was quite happy with it.

Someone very close to me has this as a first name. She’s in her 20s now…

Like Cameron, Lindsay, or Taylor? It's very common for surnames to be used as first names, although not all surnames are as famous as Disney.

Yes dreadful.

Yes. Well, she's 2.

How did Tyson Fury and Katie Price manage to register their kids going by the last sentence?

Maybe she's Scottish and she disnae care.

Not remotely Scottish.

Why are you putting some poor child's name up for ridicule? She's two. It's her name.

It was a joke.

Great name in Scotland, depending on surname

Disney - have any class
Disney - give a Fcuk
Disney - have a clue.

It’s a nice name for a cat but not as a first name for a person

My first thought too. I also know a guy called Earl.

MN seriously needs to bring back the laughing reaction. Very good. 😁

Ds'Nae if feeling fancy.

Thank you! 😄. It was a bit of a tumbleweed moment though...

The parents are the ridiculous ones.

Child is already born and named and not yours, and you clearly have an opinion on it, so why are you asking?

I’m surprised Disney haven’t sued for trademark infringement or some such!
