WDYT of the name Niner

KKleese · November 2009

So my husband that originally wanted to name our son Jack has now come up with the name Niner. I'm sure it's because he's a huge San Fransico 49ers fan. I'm actually not completely against the name and think it sounds kinda cool. It would be original but the same time not many people are naming their children with very original names anymore so I don't think he would stand out too bad. WDYT?

I'm sorry, but that's really awful. Please don't do that to your child.

I am not a fan.

l_elizabeth · November 2009

Honestly, it's really, really, really bad. Sorry.

NMS, reminds me of Tommy Boy.

Tommy: Two, four, niner, five, six, seven...
Richard Hayden: I can't hear you, you're trailing off and did I catch a niner in there? Were you calling from a walkie-talkie?

Are you serious? It's awful. My first thought was that quote from Tommy Boy. "Did I catch a 'niner' in there?" "Shut up."

What everyone else said.

Thats a terrible thing to do to your child.

Lol, no.

jodiferg · November 2009

I'm sorry, it's awful. I can think of all kinds of ways to make fun of that name.

jennasita · November 2009

Um.. I vote no. It sounds like a baby trying to say "banana." Jack is much better. I'm also getting a Scooby Doo flashback.. Miner Forty Niner!!

this. I am all for an original name, but Niner is not a name...

"Um, Niner? ...are you calling from a walkie-talkie?!?!"

This is what I thought.

Sorry, but I'm afraid your LO would have a lot of fun poked at him.

Sorry, but I have to agree with all the other ladies...I like Jack, though!

Hahahaha. I foresee a lot of sixty-niner jokes in that poor child's future.

lololololol Stick out tongue

claire1983 · November 2009

Glad everyone else is against this too, I think that would be an open invite to other kids to pick on your child.

fromymom · November 2009

sorry

KKleese · November 2009

LOL! Thanks for your opinions! We will not be including Niner is the list of possible names!

sadiwest · November 2009

Um, yeah...my DH wanted "Dallas Shea" for our LO (boy OR girl), so I can empathize with your concern. At least he came up with that before they built Citi Field....Dallas Citi would've been worse!

Still, I don't think I'd go for Niner. I always consider that kids can be cruel....Sooner or later someone will change it to "Nooner", or something.

ttimmerman · November 2009

How can you go from Jack, a perfectly nice, normal name, to Niner?? Please stick with Jack. Niner is beyond-words awful.
