What do you think of this boys name?

[CinderToriella]

It sounds like A kiwi saying Max

Its not for me sorry, Yes i think he would be teased ,and i think that is always a bit thing to think about when picking a name ,as a name is pretty important , but when it comes down to it , its up to u

[Faithful Mumma]

It would kind of make me want to call him Mixo....like that disease rabbits carry mixomatosis (sp??) Lol. But, each to their own, and there are certainly stranger names than that!

[Shanti]

Sorry not a fan!! But each to their own as they say

[*Ang*]

Sorry, dont like it all. And yes he would get teased, incessantly.

I was talking to someone the other day about names and teasing and said in 9 years of teaching, I never heard a child tease another about their first name, and never had a child complain they'd been teased. Last names, yes, but first names no! Maybe it's because there are so many different names these days, because we all used to tease others about their names growing up. If you like it, go for it!

Gotta disagree with you there, mum is a teacher and she is constantly telling me about how kids tease one another over the slightest of things and quite often names are just the beginning. In her words, she doesnt understand why parents give names that either a) require the poor child to be constantly spelling/pronouncing their name the "correct" way or b) names that are obviously going to teased or made fun of. Sorry.

*scrunches nose a little* hmmmmm I don't think it's a name for me Leash... but it's up to you and Shel, not me Oh and btw, have I missed an announcement or a text or something?

Just throwing in yet another 2 cents worth ... so what am I up to now?... 6 cents I think LOL I firmly believe that if a child is going to get picked on it's because there is a bully present wanting to bully someone and they will find 'something' to pick on another child about regardless of there name. There are probably loads of other obvious things a bully could find like glasses, braces, the childs clothes, hair, ears, nose, ANYTHING! To say that kids with a different name will get picked on is quite frankly less then intelligent. There are millions of people with different names out there and the majority of them probably didn't get picked on. Sure lots of them probably did but I'm sure there have been way more Tom, ****'s and Harry's, Jane, Mary's and Anne's picked on over the years.

mummyof4 Jett is extremely common these days and even if kids as innocent of yours make that comment it's a far cry from being teased or picked on. Kids can feel the energy behind being bullied or 'teased' as opposed to a genuine curiosity kwim

[Arimeh]

I agree with Cherished. Hell, I was picked on at school because I had green eyes - WTF?!?!!? Kids are mean unfortunately, they were when I was at school, and they always will be.

Now if they really knew another meaning for MY name, then yes, I would have been teased alot more than I was.

I'm proud of the fact that my kids have different names cos they'll never be confused with anyone else. It will be like - oh hey, do you know aricyn? Instead of - hmm which one I know lots of aricyn's... it will be.. yeah man I know aricyn and what a cool little dude he is

I don't mind the name Mix - I think it goes really well with your surname!

[Indadhanu]

That's what I thought too Mel, goes with the last name.

Cass, ask me on Valentines day You'll be the first to know, I already said that hehe

[Indadhanu]

LOL I was picked on for my name. Always got called 'dog leash'. That's sort of why I was asking. But then, if it wasn't my name it was my hair or teeth so ... meh, maybe he'll be glad he is getting picked on for his name and not the fact that he has two very strange mums!

BTW, silly is in the eye of the beholder. I just asked if you would tease him, not if YOU would use the name.

[starangelk]

Mix is a SUPERCOOL name but then again, I like Minx for a girl

[smiles4u]

sounds like Micks .. as in Mick's thing !

I too like the sound of it yeah sadly he would more than likely get teased.

(just to throw it out there I saw the first name of a guy " Hill " last week)
