What are your opinions of Bay for a boy? I personally LOVE the sound of it and the mouth-feel (only you fellow name junkies will understand that!), but we are still brainstorming. I don’t like any of the longer versions of Bay so it would just be Bay. I’d love to hear all honest opinions, and let me know if you know any!
I love it! I love the simple, cool, laid-back sound and the double nature connection (perfect with your sibset).
I rarely see it mentioned, but when I do, people often bring up the similarity to the slang term “bae” – it doesn’t bother me personally, but I just thought I’d mention it in case it bothers you!
I’ve never met one IRL but I came across it a while back as the name of one of British TV presenter [name_f]Kirstie[/name_f] Allsop’s sons. He’s [name_u]Bay[/name_u] [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] and his brother is [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Hercules[/name_m]!
I absolutely love [name_u]Bay[/name_u]! There are a few possible negatives, but I don’t mind them personally. I especially love [name_u]Bay[/name_u] with your sibset Don’t know anyone with the first name myself, but I’ve heard of a few with [name_u]Bay[/name_u] in the middle spot.
Thank you! I do also think of “Bae” (after someone pointed that out to me) but that doesn’t bother me too much, But maybe I’m just optimistically hoping that’s not a long lasting slang term
I don’t like the similarity to ‘bae.’ And it seems more modern than the rest of the sibset! Also [name_u]Bay[/name_u] and [name_m]Abel[/name_m] are a little too similar.
I think Bay and Abel are too similar and I’m not such a fan. It sounds too made up for me and that is coming from someone who loves lots of made up sounding names. Sorry
I’ve always considered [name_u]Bay[/name_u] a girls name, thanks to the TV show Switched At Birth.
[name_u]Bay[/name_u] on a boy is very unexpected, but I think I like it! And it definitely matches your sibset
I’m a huge fan of [name_u]Bay[/name_u]! It feels rather modern next to [name_m]Abel[/name_m], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], & [name_f]Fern[/name_f], but I can still see it working. The ‘bar’ connection doesn’t concern me, personally.
I absolutely love [name_u]Bay[/name_u] it’s fresh, outdoorsy and vibrant I think he would be a really cool sibling name for [name_m]Abel[/name_m], [name_f]Olive[/name_f] & [name_f]Fern[/name_f].
When my son was in NICU, there was a little boy called [name_u]Bay[/name_u] in the incubator next to him. I thought it was an awesome name since. It just sounds so fresh, soft and kind.
Reminds me of [name_f]Bae[/name_f], to be honest with you. It’s short and simple but I think it can cause teasing potential. I’d say go for it. The name is cool and refreshing.
I love the name, especially as a middle. Although it does work with your sibset, I feel like [name_m]Abel[/name_m] may feel slightly out of place as the only non-nature name
