I love 'Bay'. The colour of a shiney horse and a costal scene, in my head anyway. With normal middle name, wdyt?

I quite like it, actually. In fact, if I have a boy next time round, I might pinch it as a middle name!

Not sure I'd be brave enough to use it as a fist name, but if you like it, go ahead!

Which celebrity has a child called Bay?

Personally I'm not a fan.

Also it rhymes with GAY. That's something you might want to avoid in a name.

Thanks! I have a Caspar, so may be braver than your average bear, yes?

No.It's awful.

Caspar is a great name though.

I have a Bay on my family tree. Old bird from the 1890s or thereabouts, some sister of great grandad. Went to America IIRC.

Don't like it though, too abrupt.

Casper is a fantastic name.

I think you need an equally great name, and Bay just isn't up to it.

Casper is a grand name, not so keen on Bay at all. I've always thought Felix went well with Casper.

driventodistraction, I agree re Felix but DH hates it. He doesn't know about my hankering for Bay though!

I agree with Bucharest, it is too abrupt.

Caspar is great. I would go for something like

Leon
Alexander
Tim

Felix goes well.

Well then, you have to make him let you call him Felix

You're the one who has to give birth, after all!

We had Bay before, it was a no no then as it is now.

I actually quite like it - for a girl. Puts me in mind of a tall, willowy, erudite brunette.

I think you would need a surname of at least 3 syllables to carry it off, though.
