Is Disney a silly name?

[GuyForksAndKnives]

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

She’s unlikely to be on Mumsnet, so how would she know?

🤦‍♀️

😂

It gives massive ‘I’m mad me! Disney adult, will kick a child to have a picture with Mickey vibes’

Yes. Very silly.

What's the difference between Bing Crosby and Walt Disney?
Bing sings, but Walt disnae (old Scottish joke).

I have known a Disney. He was very old school posh public school boy, so it does exist as a forename …

I'd love it as a last name! Wouldn't be my choice as a first name since I prefer traditional names like Alexander, Elizabeth, James, Emily. However, I don't think it's that bad and I wouldn't judge anyone for using it. It's no worse than other modern unisex names like Taylor or River.

I had an elderly relative called Disney. We all thought it was her real name until she dies and we discovered it was a nickname. No idea why, she was older than the franchise too so unlikely it came from the Disney corporation (im old, she was ancient lol). I dont think its any worse than a lot of other names people use now, but did think it very odd when I was younger.

Please slap both the parents on my behalf.

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

Yes

Or a mouse 🐁

Well she's hardly likely to be reading MN is she & by the time she's old enough it won't come as a surprise that most people think her parents were stupid.

FFS!

Not my taste but I’ve heard worse I suppose. At least it’s spelt correctly, they could have gone with “Dyznee” or something!

Disnae get jokes

😂

Actually I’m surprised there’s not an epidemic of pets being called Disney.

I really like it!

It’s unisex and will be the name of my next child, a brother or sister to: Pixar (boy, 15), Hanna-Barbera (girl, 10) and Loony-Tunes (boy, 6).

I had to google Mormon family with stupid names to remind myself who had named their baby Disney. First hit….

I know someone who called her daughter Disney-Leigh….

Is Disney a good name?
Well it was a good name for Walt.

There isn't anything redeeming about the name Disney as a child's first name.

Just think of the diminutives:
Diz? Dizzy? Nee?
It doesn't sound nice at all OP.

If you're a Disney fan I'm sure there's no end of names you can choose from one of the films?

A Us influencer just had a baby called Disney. Her other kids also have awful names.

My first thought was that Mormon family. Disney is not as bad as some of the other children's names.
