Baby naming traumas

[Boco]

My friend has asked me to post this as her and her dp cant' agree on a name for their 2 week old baby boy.

Her dp is adamant that the baby be called -
Maximus Ronny Billy the Kid Powelly
or
Maximus Ronny Billy Bunny Powelly

My friend likes the name Max, and likes Ronny, is ok with Billy, but not Billy Bunny or Billy the Kid. Her dp has his heart set on it, he really really likes Billy the Kid, and Billy Bunny.

I said i'd ask the mumsnet jury - what combination works best / is least crazy?

I think it was as i got to 'pampering to his insane fuckwittedness' that the first whimpers began.

She likes the william idea, Max william would be good.

I had a Great Uncle Bunny...but he was Russian and i think his real name was unpronounceable...

Max William , or Ronny William

call him bunny billy flopsy mopsy , whatever the f*ck else AT HOME!!

Bunny sounds like a nickname for an "upperclass" twit from the 1930s.

William Max or Max William then he can have any sort of baby names indoors and a 'proper' name for official purposes. Imagine that little lot being read out at his graduation .

There was a Bunney on Deal Or No Deal the other day.

See if you can find a pic online somewhere.

For that reason, and that alone would suffice, I'd agree with Custy.

Or, how about he changes his probably far more sensible name to "mincey knobbo" for a while and see how far he gets in life.

FFS, imagine this poor boy's full name at the top of a CV! His fiancee on their wedding day having to say it?!

Or imagine if he's ever a juror or an expert witness or something and has to state his full name for the record?

Or even if he has to have his chartered surveyor's / master builder's / food hygiene certificate on the wall of his office?

Wsan't there a male "bunny" in Eldorado? A chubby bald man. Not much of a role model.

They say that they'd keep it a secret if they gave him this rediculous name ... so why bother giving it to him in the first place??!!

Indeed there was:

It's just my friend who'd try to keep it a secret, it was her trying to think of a way of compromising - 'you can call him that, but we must never ever tell anyone!'

He'd want to tell everyone though, because he thinks its a great name

That's the one! Had a lolita-esque relationship with girl called Fizz (not fromTweenies) if I recall correctly.

Oh, let him tell everyone - they'll talk him out of it. Unless the world has gone mad.

It's perhaps a hard concept but

his baby will get beyond the cute, cool baby in oversized knitted hat stage veyr very quickly.

His baby will become a teenager who hates him (mainly because of the name)

May I refer you to that well-known country song about having a crap name bestowed upon you by your father?

Come to think of it, I has a teacher at school called Mr Bunny and he married another teacher called Miss Warren.

I'm afraid the most obvious jokes were irresistible.
