Buddy?

[HerHonesty]

once again, ladies and gentlemen of the jury..

NO

er...

as long as you don't have a surname / daughter called Holly

but

not really

Good name for a Labrador.

Dog's name - sorry.

as bad as lance? or worse?

Erm, both on a par with each other imo.

thats horrific

No, no and thrice no.

ghastly and over familiar

Absolutely not.

DH's & his ex's dog's name.

No
No
No

Very surprisingly, there are two children called Sonny in dd's class. I would put that in the same category, but obviously, I know nothing!

No makes me think of Buddy Luuuuuuuuuurve from Nutty Professor.

Both vile.

Horrible

hardly vile but very rockabilly

Lance makes me think of Lance Percival with the speech affectation (twitty).

Sorry.

Only if a nickname.

For a dog it is cheesy.

For a child, no!

OK as a nick name only. I knew a Lance, and didn't think of him having a bad name, but now it makes me think of lancing boils.

Yuck. Chip, Clay, Brick, Hank, Junior - get the idea?

No to Buddy but I do like Lance and Sonny!

I wouldn't.

Always reminds me of the movie starring Chesney Hawkes that we had to watch at school EVERY TIME our English teacher was off ill (which was A LOT!)

It's the boy version of 'sweetie' for a girl in the US. A bit like 'Junior' or 'Son'. So not a name, a generic term.

Lol Drama - that was a firm favourite in our dept. Go to school near Southampton by any chance??

My dd1, who is 16, has known a 'Buddy' since preschool. He is really called Bernard,apparently, she only found out when they were getting exam numbers. He would be a good person to have on your side in a fight, according to dd1.
