    Having Buddy as a name worked out ok for Buddy Holly.
    Hehe, that was his stage name.. his birth name was actually Charles

    Really, you learn something every day.
    Just goes to show what a great name it is - he chose it instead of having it foisted upon him

    ETA - yeah, Bear Grylls is called Edward but he chose Bear instead. I think he's kinda sexy. Does anyone else? He lives on a house boat and his wife home-birthed there. I like the cut of their jib.

    I call my youngest Drew Bear or Buddy Bear Drew, I think it's cute. It's not like he will use his middle name in his day to day life.

    I did toy with using the middle name "trouble" or "danger" for DS2 but got talked out of it

    I like danger for a middle name!

    I saw an interview with Bear recently, and he said growing up he was given the nickname Teddy, as his name was Edward, which grew to Teddy Bear, which eventually shortened to Bear

    ETA: if you had Danger as a name, you just couldn't have Will as a second name or Robinson as a last name LOL

    That rugby/league player Mat Rogers and his model wife Chloe Maxwell have a son with Danger as his middle name. Way too passe for me.

    I like the names... and I agree that no-one is going to be calling them by their first and second names. All their names sound like sweet family nicknames with the first and second name so I'm guessing Mum and Dad use those names at home.

    Yay for them- I know they had said they were hoping for a boy to eventually add to the family.
