Yay or nay. Asking for a friend. Passé 1930s or due for a revival?

Introduce yourself as Busby for a week, people's reactions will tell you all you need to know about the unsuitability of the name.

Also, why be a psycho and send a kid to a secondary school with the name Busby? Do they hate their child and not care about bullying?

I‘ve not started two threads. Maybe you’re hallucinating Busbies? (Is that the spelling for more than one Busby?)

There is this one with 28 replies (now 29) and another with 106 replies. Further down the list on the names topic.

It's one of the mascots at my kids' school. Busby the Bee. Don't.

As in a soldier’s hat?

Revival? I've never met anyone named this. Was it ever a common name?

To me it sounds like a name for a pet or a cartoon character.

What kind of arsehole would saddle their kid with Busby? A decent name is one thing you can definitely give your child. Busby is not it.
