Be honest - what do you think of the name...

[Lolabelle]

Huey?? I've always had a huge crush on the lead singer of The Fun Lovin Crimials HUey Morgan so probably a huge influence but my MIL & SIL pulled a funny face!!

I want something uncommon as my DD's name is fast heading towards the top ten girls names and it annoys me to hear her name everwhere i go and want to avoid a similar situation without being ridiculous and yes i am aware Donald Duck has a son/nephew (can't remember) of the same name but what do you reckon??

[dither]

listen, if you love it, it will grow on everyoine else.
if it was music to everyones ears on first hearing, it would by its nature then become (or already be) one of those ten-a-penny names you dont want!
so go for it. choose it if you like it.

btw - makes me think of helicopters. since we're sharing. but i quite like it.

[Rhubarb]

Bailey.
I wanted to call ds Bailey.

Or how about Sherlock? That's a lovely name!

[SSShakeTheChi]

don't really like it, I'm afraid. Sorry

is there another name you're considering?

[Lemmiwinks]

Yep, I'd have pulled a funny face too. It reminds me of "Ducktales" (remember that cartoon anyone?) with Huey, Duey and Louey, as you said, Donald Duck's nephews. It would have made me laugh to have a classmate with that name. Wow, that poor child will soo get rippd on in school! I agree with the other ladies who suggested Hugh as a compromise, much more "normal" yet still not too common.

[krabbiepatty]

No yuck. What about Otis?

[wurlywurly]

krabbie patty, your name is kool.

[honey2theb]

otis reminds me of the aardvark!

[krabbiepatty]

Well thank you, wurly. I changed long ago in a moment of Spongebob enthusiasm from something more dignified...

[CODalmighty]

no
it soudns like nasla phlegm

[Rhubarb]

Sherlock I tell ya!

[Nbg]

Sorry but I lol when I read it.

But a name is something personal and if you like it go for it.

[krabbiepatty]

Dashiell?
Wystan?
Jago?

[Lolabelle]

Liked Beau as i said in an earlier post but maybe as a middle name as doesn't really go as a first name with my surname - DH liked rafferty but i am liking it but not loving it. he likes Huey Harrison or Huey Beau but i need other options!!!

Did like Hugo but getting very popular round here - liked Rufus but DH didn't and so it goes on....!!

[CODalmighty]

hugeo
rufus woof wfoo
beau poofy

[Rhubarb]

SHERLOCK

[Lolabelle]

Oh don't worry i don't take offence - i'm glad for honest feedback for once as i can only think of the gorgeous Mr Morgan and i'm aware he may be influencing my personal taste somewhat!!

Liked Ralf but Dh didn't, just bought a ook but its same old same old in there!

[MrsBadger]

Huey Beau just has too many vowels in for my eye

Dalziel?

[SSShakeTheChi]

I find Huey Beau doesn't flow right

Rufus and Rafferty I don't really go for either. What's the first initial of your surname?

[SSShakeTheChi]

duh
I meant initial /first letter

[krabbiepatty]

Huey Beau also sounds like Haribo.

[Rhubarb]

Fine!

[Lolabelle]

My surname starts Bea... god i'm in a dilemma, lost all concept of what i like. Wish it was a girl as they are easier to name i'm sure...

[sunnywong]

actually, phoenetic aesthetics aside, should you really be naming your son after someone you find sexually attractive ????

[dither]

[Lolabelle]

LOl!!! Have thought of that.....bit odd i know BUT my DH doesn't know its a big crush and likes the band also and thinks Mr Morgans tres cool also so i reckon that makes it ok!

What about Arlo?? Or should i just take a deep breath and start again?!!
