What do you think of Huntlley?

[rumer]

What do you think of Huntlley as a boy's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.
I think this is a real nice name

Trouble is that it conjures up images of Ian Huntley for me.

How about Hunter? I think Gillian Anderson (X-files) called her son Hunter.

As in Ian Huntley?

Does it really have two L's?

I think Ian, sorry.
Like Hunter though

remember that the mn baby name thing is primarily a pisstake

it's awful, esp with two Ls

With two Ls? Horrible.

Huntly is bad enough, but Huntlley is just awful, sorry.

I'm sorry, but Ian Huntley immediately came to mind - in fact on reading the title quickly, I thought it was a thread about him.

Horrid.

Makes me think of Ian Huntley too.

Ian here too

Vile

There is also the matter of the obvious choice for a rhyming nickname.

No.

Sorry, no, no and thrice no

Huntley is a place, in Aberdeenshire. That's what it makes me think of.

ian huntley first thought

Makes you look like you're a bit thick and can't spell Huntley which in turn reminds everyone of Ian Huntley. Not a good name

Sorry, another no here.

Wrong (and very very horrible) associations.

No sorry. I also immediately thought of Ian Huntley

Not much funbeing called hHunter if you turn out to be a slight bespectacled vegetarian!

No Ian springs to mind pl dont do this to a child

Instantly think of Ian Huntley. Don't do it.

hideous

Another one who immediately thought of Ian Huntley. Not keen on surname-esque names as it is, so the two factors combined make me dislike it rather a lot I'm afraid.

Equally, bear in mind that the double l will instantly make it pronounced differently in Wales.

It's on the Baby Name Finder because you added it. I don't like the spelling of it tbh but that's just my opinion
