I'm with 'EVERYONE' on this - it's not a name, it's cruel. Give him a real name and he can be called Chucky by his dad as a nickname.

I'm assuming that as the "Child's Play" movies have been part of the cultural lexicon for the last few decades, this is not actually a legitimate enquiry.

It's a nickname for Charles (and a terrible one IMO). Call him Charles and his dad can call him Chucky for a few weeks before he realises how silly it sounds.
Eta Damn! I hate falling for trolls. That's what I get for having a post frenzy. This post has been edited by Kate-ko: 24/01/2013, 09:24 AM |

I love the name Charles. I have a dear friend by that name and I sometimes call him Chucky. Why not just go with Charles?
Btw Wayne is dreadful in my opinion (and it's my Dad's middle name...poor guy! hahaha) |

I think it's a fine name and commend you for joining the site to ask such an important question.
Now don't you have some friends to meet at the mall? |

QUOTE (splash2309 @ 24/01/2013, 10:16 AM)  My partner is set on naming our 2nd child "Chucky" if a boy. middle name will be Wayne. i dont mind it but EVERYONE are dead against it almost to the point of cruel... id like honest oppinions on what you think of the name "chucky" i think it is cute, but dont want to name him it if it is going to cause so much stress, hate and upset =( I think it's important that you resolve this issue as soon as possible, ideally before school resumes next week. I prefer Charles Wanker, with the nickname "Chucky Wayne" -- a more "formal" name will give him options. Good luck with your decision.

I personally don't like it & my immediate thoughts go to David Strassman's evil doll.
