Busby?

[MaggieBsBoat]

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

For a dog, lovely. Not for a human child.

As in the bearskins worn at the changing of the guard? it’s a no from me.

Come on now. 😂

Eh? Just no.

My friends cat was called Busby . It doesn't sound like a name for a human to me but each to there own .

Of course if you went the dc ridiculed it's entire life.

I feel so old!
Big yellow bird advertising BT!

I immediately thought of the BT advert from the 1980's.....🤣🤣

Mate. That’s your hormones talking.

Yep! 😂

I'd think of a die hard United fan- the Busby babes

The BT Bird....

Man U fans?

As long as the child isn’t likely to live in Glasgow (Busby is a small town on the south side)

Ha ha this is ridiculous. No.

Matt Busby - Wikipedia

Remember Mumsnet only has an approved list of about 20 names.

Short, easy to spell and pronounce, cute nickname opportunities.

It’s sufficiently unusual people will probably never have met one or heard of it, which can be a challenge for the owner.

No one would bat an eyelid at this in my area.

What's your opinion on it OP?
Just curious.

Really? Where on earth do you live?

Yeah, why not. Give him the middle name Berkeley as well for that full 1930s razzamatazz.

London

Who’d name a baby after a guardsman’s fur helmet. The poor child would be subjected to ridicule!

Dreadful. Why would you do that to your child. I don't even think it's a good name for a pet.

As do I. If you imagine a Busby wouldn’t be ridiculed in London, go ahead and use it for your own child. You’ll find out…

For a rabbit maybe. Nor for a child.
