How does the name Sealey sound?

[Neel1411]

It's for a boy. Pronounced Sea-Lay. Middle name Salvatore (Pronounced Salvatoray). Means Blessed Saviour.

TIA!!

pmsl at all the people slagging off the name and then hastily back-tracking when they realise he is already 1!!
Neel you are very good-humoured in the face of all this abuse. Fab attitude! I think I would be a right moody old cow in the same situation!

[AitchTwoOh]

well hang on a minute, pixiestix, what would you prefer people did? and neel asked the question.

[TwoIfBySea]

Sealey: is your surname Booth?

[Neel1411]

Hey thanks all for the fab advices and opinions! Atleast now I know what I am in for (the very reason why I asked!)

And of course thanks a ton for those who said they liked the name!! :D ... I am sooooo happy to hear that!

[Neel1411]

And by the way ... didnt take anything as abuse. I would make fun of someone with a weird name too :D .. its all in the game ;) .. and if my DS is a fun lover he wud surely take it in his stride!

Sounds like a surname to me. In fact it was the surname of one of my tutors at university.

[geekgirl]

anyway - even if people find the name weird, most of them will just do a double take, think 'oh, strange name' and then move on. They're not going to dwell on it and have long conversations about your ds and his name (speaking as someone who knows LOTS of children with much stranger names).
It's a real PITA that you/he will have to spell it for everyone though (again, speaking as someone who has saddled her child with a name that requires spelling out). But then dh is called Guy and I find myself having to spell his name , so I suppose you can't win!

[BigGobMum]

Its made-up and silly. Sorry - you asked.

[Neel1411]

Of course the name was made-up! I would call it invented rather!!! ;)

Thanks geekgirl for the insight! I too agree that I have met quite a lot of people with weird names and I remember them for their names now (never for the wrong reason though!)!

[pixiestix]

No AitchTwoOh, I think this whole discussion is great!
People disagreeing in a really good-humoured way, no bitching or meanness. Thats all I meant!

[TwoHot]

There is a character called Sealey (pron. ley) in Bones. Great character

[purepurple]

children will find a way of changing any name a child is given
for example at nursery there is a little Jonah who gets called Jonah Boner by a little girl
while that's sweet from a 3 year old, comimg from a teenager it wouldn't sound quite so innocent

[TiggyR]

Like a brand of mattress?

[TiggyR]

Oh, and no-one will pronounce it Sea-lay. They will pronounce it Sealy - like the mattress.

First thing it makes me think of is Special Agent Sealey Booth from Bones
