Kermit for a boy?

83 replies

I am watching the muppets at the moment- it was my absolute favourite as a child- and it's got me thinking.

I am nine weeks pregnant at the moment.

What do you think of Kermit for a boy? I doubt it's a top 100 name, and I do want something a little unusual. Good idea, or not?

This is a joke, right??!

Depends on the surname and how many little girls called Miss Piggy in your area ........

MrsKitty · 02/05/2010 19:36

Do it. I dare you.

Oh give over.

Fozzy, on the other hand...

copperjar · 02/05/2010 19:38

It's a one-syllanle surname, quite plain.

I'm not joking, I'm just asking!

What's wrong with it?

He was a lovely character- kind, patient, funny. Why not?

I much prefer Hermit, it has that wild-haired hippy living in a cave vibe to it.

Only if you want your child to be a bullying victim.

Aren't pregnancy hormones wonderful things

dh is still giggling since I read this out 3 mins ago, he's now onto "Gonzo" for a 2nd son etc etc

copperjar · 02/05/2010 19:43

I need to convince dh first I suppose.

Gonzo would be groovy it would 'go' with our surname too ....

BelleDeChocolateFluffyBunny · 02/05/2010 19:45

How about Herbert? I love it, you could call him Herbie!!

bratnav · 02/05/2010 19:45

Has to be Animal, he is waaaay cooler than Kermit

BitOfFun · 02/05/2010 19:45

Lovely name, lovely frog. Go for it.

TheCrackFox · 02/05/2010 19:46

I am green with envy at your baby's potential name.

bibbitybobbityhat · 02/05/2010 19:48

Lovely. And he would be Kermeeee (in the Miss Piggy style) for short.

I think its charming. Ignore the naysayers!

BitOfFun · 02/05/2010 19:49

OMG, that would be soooo cute, bibbity

BelleDeChocolateFluffyBunny · 02/05/2010 19:52

He'd have people calling him "muppet" though.

catinthehat2 · 02/05/2010 19:52

OK if you are an AMerican.

Real life Kermit who is a millionaire and owns a fab museum in FLorida

BitOfFun · 02/05/2010 19:54

He's a looker too.

mathanxiety · 02/05/2010 19:54

As long as your one-syllable surname isn't Green then I think it's lovely (cos it wouldn't be easy being Kermit Green. I know a baby Grover, and I think it's fabulous (it's apparently an old Dutch family surname-as-name in his case)

Kermit would certainly be unusual, but not way off the map, imo. Link to name
