I know someone who has just called their baby this and I think its lovely but not something I would have gone for (too traditional me!).

no, I dont think I like it.

DorrisMcWhirter · 08/07/2008 14:44

Would just remind me of:
a) That kid from Grange Hill in the years gone past
b) That prat from Big Brother

Pity though because I like it!

Not keen, but I have heard Ziggy short for the name Zygmunt. I think Zygmunt is German or Polish. Sorry too tired to look it up to check.

The kid has to be uber cool to pull off a name like that. And it does remind me of ziggy thin lips from BB.

my friend has a dog called Ziggy after Ziggy Marley.

There is a Ziggy is DS's year at school.

He's only ever known as Ziggy, but infact it's not his real name.

bikerunski · 08/07/2008 20:00

...played it good with Weird and Gilly.....

Alishanty · 08/07/2008 21:28

Sounds like more of a nickname than a proper name imo.

iMum · 09/07/2008 16:13

and the spiders from mars......

onthepier · 09/07/2008 19:06

I worked with a lady called Ziggy once, it actually suited her!

Takver · 09/07/2008 19:50

I've met a Ziggy too, definitely suited her, though I'd just assumed it was a nickname.

I know a German where it's short for Sigmund / Siegmund (as in Sigmund Freud). It does sound rather like "Zygmunt" when Germans say it. I think it's spelt Siggi or Siggy over there though.
