What do you think of this boys name?

[Ozziehoffy]

*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

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!

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

Hang on that's a bit harsh dont you think?

If you look back to OP's question she isnt asking whether if she had a child with blue eyes/brown eyes/glasses/braces/red hair etc would they be teased - she is asking:

If you were a kid, would you tease him?

So the rest of us were answering her question, truthfully. Yes we do think he would be teased because of his unusual name - no need to suggest that we are of lower intelligence because we think so.

And lets be honest here and get off the "oh if you like it go for it" bandwagon, the whole "lets not offend someone with our truthfull views" - it is a silly name and it will get teased. Sorry for being harsh but I hate when people dont tell it as.

funny you mention not to hold back on the truth Ang as that's exactly what I did. It is 'your' view that you think it's a name to tease a child over. It is my view that your view is less than intelligent. In the spirit of 'not holding back the truth' that is what I believe the truth is. I knew I'd cop some flack but I stand by my comment, my intention was not to suggest that any member on this forum is not intelligent, my intention was to point out that if the topic is thought about logically than you would concluded that kids will get picked on for any reason if another child wants to pick on them. Names really don't have anything to do with it.

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.

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

[meow]

Just searched for Mix on some name sites...

Nameberry had Miximino. Uber-cool!

Thinkbabynames didn't have it and suggested Dix. There's some teasing waiting to happen

[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)
