Busby?

[MaggieBsBoat]

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

Is this for real?

I'm actually warming to it. I'd go the full alliterative hog and call him Busby Berkeley Balonz. It has a certain something, don't you think?

I know someone who knew the man who drew Buzby.

Busby= guardsman helmet
Buzby= B T cartoon character

Boomb!You've kindly just named the kids's new guineapig 🤭

I prefer Trafford and it's nicely gender neutral as well.

Good to see other people remember the BT bird!

See I think of Busby Berkeley. The guy who did the dance choreography in 30s musicals. Maybe I’m wrong. Now that people have mentioned the BT character, that’s even worse! 😳
Not a fan.
but cute nickname. Like Buzz Lightyear!

You‘re welcome

Isn't it a hat of some type?

To me it falls into the category of 'could be cute on a toddler, can't picture it for an adult'.

Bloody genius!

Maybe Trilby instead?

Ohh I like Barnaby maybe I can sell that one!

Yep.....all I can think about is the big yellow cartoon bird from the BT ads.

No! Ridiculous. Please don't.

Quite a good name for a pet dog, cat, rabbit etc. Not for a human child. You'd be setting them up for a lifetime of ridicule and explaining.

That was Buzby not Busby. Sounds the same though.

Why are people insisting on calling their children names of towns just outside Glasgow?!

Paisley as a name is horrendous but Busby is worse.

Some Scottish place names are fine but they don't even have a nice sound!

Eagerly awaiting Eaglesham, Gowkthrapple and Bonkle

Nay

Makes me think of the Busby Babes, I wouldn't!

To be fair, London parents do seem to use a random noun generator to come up with their offsprings’ names, just for the amusement of the rest of the nation.

Just when I think I'm over the cruel removal of the laugh emoji, a thread like this comes along.

@BleeBlahBlue , My DC are Paisley and Anfield.

Nope. Reminds me of that ad campaign.

I like Barnaby. It isn't bonkers. Well, not after Busby.

When born the child will be a Busby Babe. Don't do that. Grim.

Is this a joke? It’s a bird’s name.
