Barack, for a boy ?

[Isawyoucoming]

what do you think - too topical ?

[LurkerOfTheUniverse]

no, don't

[twoluvlykids]

Nononono

[EyeballsintheSky]

Yep I daresay there'll be about 99,99999999 American babies with that name this year though...

[OneLieIn]

It will be very very popular from now on in

I love it!

[ladyjuliafish]

I wouldn't. The association with Barack is too strong and he could totally screw up. You hear Clinton, you think blowjob, you hear Adolf you think mass murdering sociopath. My uncle was called Nixon after the president, he was born pre Watergate. I bet they wouldn't have called him that if he had been a few years younger.

[Thunderduck]

I wouldn't.

[LiffeyAnnaLivia]

I agree with pp.

[ponygirl17]

NO

[flaminhell]

[Rindercella]

[littlelamb]

Nooooo And I speak as someone who, had ds been born a girl, was considering Benazir as a middle name Steer clear of topical names I think.

[pinkmagic1]

Quite like it but would never use it, agree with ladyjuliafish.

[Clarissimo]

'You hear Clinton, you think blowjob, you hear Adolf you think mass murdering sociopath'

Blimey where do you live? Are there no copies of The Baby Names Book in your library?

[BabyBaby123]

please don't

[DaddyJ]

I hear Clinton, I think birthday cards.

Maybe better to wait 4 (possibly 8) years
before considering Barack.

[Jacksmama]

Oh no

[Smilewearingthin]
