Wyatt or West?

[muminCT]

Wyatt or West? I like both, husband hates both. What does everyone else think?

they're both positively awful.

They're surnames.

or a compass point.

Wasn't Wyatt a cowboy or something? That's what my mum said.

i think someone has access to my family tree

we have graham gordon trevor and now wyatt

and gertrude on another thread

Don't like either I'm afraid.

wyatt earp is from the wild west

I'm with your hb on this one.

am not as adverse at the others but think Wyatt is a very American name to give as a first name and believe West would be really cool as a mn but not so much as a first name

Surnames. Wyatt slightly less bizarre as a choice than West. But still not good.

My husband is American and my first two were born in Hawaii and this one will be born in the States too.

I think Wyatt is kinda neat, West I suppose is a bit crazy.

No, it's not 'kinda neat'. It's naff.

I got used to the name Wyatt after watching Charmed and quite like it. DD1 actually has a friend called Wyatt. Does it go with your surname???

BTW can tell you've been living in the states, "kinda neat"

Your DH speaks sense.

I have friends with these names as surnames and am definitely with your husband on this.

Wyatt DeLoretta what do you think?

Oh I forget Pipers son on charmed was called that too. Thanks for the reminder

That doesn't go too badly does it. I named dd1 Piper and EVERYONE asked "Did you get that from Charmed??????
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I didn't, but oh well

Now you have to convince your DH. We didn't name dd2 til 2 days before she was born and she was 2 weeks late cos we just couldn't decide.

This time round it much harder I'm due in 10 weeks, if I make it that far. My 1st was born at 35 and 2nd at 37. Time is going too fast!

I like Piper too!

I prefer West, just read an excellent book by Joe Abercrombie with a West in it, twas a surname tho...

FGS, mum, that place has really rubbed off on you. And not in a good way .

As an American immigrant to the UK - I'm a dual national now, married to a Scotsman - take it from me: about 90% of the utter tripe excuses Americans call forenames are beyond silly.

hmmm

pretty revolting imo

sorry, you did ask

Both very ugly names. West is especially ridiculous

My hubby is going to be so happy knowing so many agree with him.
