Grr DP is adamant

That our son will be called Bailey!

He will. Not. Stop. Going. On about it.

He's agreed to read the responses to this thread so please fire away (hopefully not too many of you will like it!).

People will thin he was conceived after a night drinking it?

I like it, but not sure I'd use it as a boys name, although I know it is unisex.

It's OK but abit up and coming, abit 'surnamey' and may well get 'bay' for short. Reminds me of party of five.

Hmm. Not keen. Sounds like an American surname-type thing.

Plus the drink gives me heartburn.

if your surname is Jackson then I know a Bailey Jackson from Illinois! He will be 40 now though!

A friend of mine has a dog by the same name....

It's a popular dog's name round these parts...

Dog's name. (imho)

It's really really not a very nice name.

Bailey is awful name imho. Also a girl's drink and a dogs name.

I really like it. Good choice.

A friend of dh's has given his dd the name Bailey-Jane (yes, BJ)

No, no, no.

Not good.

Doesn't some sleb have a child called Bailey? Like Davinia McColl or Kirsty Allsopp. People will think you are copying.

That or what 5inthebed said.

I've always thought it sounds more like a girls name.

Just did the sleb check.

Stella McCartney has a girl called Bailey.

Kirsty Allsop has a boy called Bay Atlas

its common and its a girl's name,

It doesn't particularly offend me either way but it does sound a lot like Bayleaf, so if you do a lot of Italian cooking he might want to reconsider.

There are thousands of nicer names. Thousands.

It's a 'blah' name. Substanceless. Very effeminate too.

What breed of dog will your ds be?!

Ask your DH to think again.

Makes me want to sing "I'm Bayleaf I'm the garrrr-dner I work from early morn"....

....but that's just me

THANK YOU. This is brilliant. Can't wait to show him.. keep 'em cummin!

Have come across baby girls called Bailey.

It is chavtastic
