Digby?

[Momdeguerre]

It may be the hormones/ insomnia talking but I think I may like the name Digby .

DH and I both like the whole old name thing and have been pretty settled on Wilbur for a while now but I am suddenly having a wobble!

What do you think?

I think if you were up for Wilbur, then Digby is fine (they are from the same sort of genre to me).

I love Digby! Don't like Wilbur nearly as much, but Digby is fantastic.

Stick with Wilbur.

Thank you, so far I am still on the fence! My DS has helped a little - said the name to him and he is nowshouting 'Diggidy-dog' which I am not keen on!

Digby is great.
Wilbur-old man.

Sorry Digby is a dog's name for me..

yikes!..no lovin either one..Toby?..I suppose if i had to really choose the Wilbur is ok..

I've always like Digory. Or is it is Diggory? From the Magician's Nephew.

Ooh! I forgot about Digby! Years ago it was on my list of 'boys names I like the sound of'. Two of those names are on our shortlist, and I completely forgot to float Digby with DH!

Thanks for the reminder, I think it's a fab name!

well I'm sure I'd raise my eyebrows if I actually met one, but I do think it's kind of cute.

Also like diggory as a similar alternative, and at least that doesn't have the doggy connection.

If I heard someone talking about Digby, I would assume it was a labrador Wilbur is great though.

I have never commented on a name thread before

but I saw this and thought oh my god digby is a big shaggy dog..

think of the playground

I have a friend with a Digby, it's a fabulous name!

I like Digby and prefer it to Wilbur.

I like both.

There used to be a big psychiatric hospital around here called Digby hospital, so when I was a kid it was used as an insult [not by myself] "you're such a Digby".
Much prefer Wilbur.

Biggest dog in the world

Or Vicar of Dibley

wasn't wilbur the pig in Charlotte's Web?

Unless you want his nickname to be "the biggest dog in the world", don't even go there.

Not wild about wilbur either, though. Sorry. Both sound like pet names to me.
