CaptnCanary 0 Posted March 14, 2011 Hi. Just wanted to say I have a new baby boy born yesterday. We had a name picked for a girl but were unsure for a boy. So today we''ve been looking through a boys name book and found Huxley! I thought that was great for the Norwich link/obvious nickname. What do you all think?

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted March 14, 2011 Congratulations on the baby[Y] I am not a fan of the name Huxley. When I say the name I think "cartoon dog", don''t know why? It''s not my opinion that count''s though, it''s whatever makes you happy on this exciting new addition to your life.[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny you should say that - my wife keeps saying ''Does it sound too much like a dog''s name?'' I won''t tell her your comment. The closest dog name I can think of is Mutley. Not that similar though is it. I think we are going with Huxley. Initials are safe with HPW.I used to work with a guy called Alan Smith. Apparently his middle name was going to be Richard until somebody pointed out the initials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatCanary 0 Posted March 14, 2011 Congratulations,as for Huxley,i think it''s Different and you should go for it,i have four Children and we tried to give them slightly different names to the usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted March 14, 2011 If you both like the name then that''s all that matters. I was just giving you my honest opinion on the name. Did you get the name just from looking through a baby name book? I wondered if it was also connected to the famous author Aldous Huxley? It''ll probably get shortened to Hux (especially by school friends) which sounds rather cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
