What do we think of Bayard?

[mum2robbie]

Hello ladies

I quite fancy the name Bayard for a boy. I like it, DH likes it, but I fear it will be a name met with raised eyebrows.

Thoughts?

I like it can be abbreviated to 'Bay'.

Multinational drugs conglomerate.

Dreadful.

Is there ever going to be a name thread where I don't want to shake the parent by the shoulders shouting "It is a real live child not a bleeding cheap novel"?

(That was not aimed at you specifically BTW)

Awful. Sorry.

It put me in mind of 'Bare' or ever 'Bare-arse' - so I would say no!

I know a Bayard.......... hes the same age as me i think 39ish!

I don't see the point if you are going to shorten it to Bay

Just call it Bay

it's a Cove near Dartmouth, south Devon.

A lot like barnyard!

Sounds like Wellard the dog, mournful sniff.

I was thinking Wellard too!

I like Bay though.

as in Fort Bayard?

shit tv thing with Melissa Messenger iirc

Bay lovely

no to bayard

terrible

do you have a kiln?

do you make your own clothes out of wheat?

if not, no Bayard or Bay

v,v bad

Bay and Bayard both absolutely awful sorry, although of course that is just my own opinion and you should call him what you choose.

Bayard yes St George's horse in a book DS2 was reading to me.

Neither of us knew how to pronounce it tho which is not a Good Sign in a name imho (more me not knowing than DS2 IYSWIM)

Bay, yes Kirtie Allsop's choice, she's v cool.

What sort of thing is DS1's name mum2r? Do theyneed to go in yr view?

I think Bay is the name of Kirstie Allsopp's son. Still ntmt though.

I went to school with a Bayard.

It reminds me of Fort Boyard, that horribly silly show Melinda Messenger was hosting yeeeears ago...

me not like.

I think it's hilarious. Not quite as funny as "Bear" which is my all time favourite daft sugggestion, but it's nearly up there.

Are you giving birth to a horse?

nay

I knew a Bayard. I went out with his brother

(am wondering if it was the same Bayard that broccolispears knew...)

If you are going to name your son after a horse, why not Shergar? Or Red Rum?

neigh neigh

Not good.
