I'm not pregnant, and not planning on having a baby until I'm at least 27 (22 right now), but we really want to have a boy when the time comes. I know you can't really choose that, but if we do have a boy the name we chose is Guy Thomas Black. My fiance's middle name is Thomas, same as his father, so we're keeping that in the family. Obviously his last name is Black, but the name Guy has always been a favorite of mine, and surprisingly it's always been what HE wanted to name his son if he had one. His reasons are completely different from mine. My fiance is a HUGE goof, and he's very outgoing and absolutely hilarious, and he wants his son to be that way, too. So, his reasons for naming him that is that when he's in school, and they put name tags on the desk, last name first, his name will say Black Guy. lol. I actually think it's pretty funny. I don't see it as being a way to make fun of him or tease him, just something funny to talk about. My reasons are I've just always loved the name Guy. My fiance thinks it will mold him into a funny person with a good sense of humor. What do you think of the name?

I think it's fine. My name is Brittany, pretty generic, right? Yeah, ppl still found a way to use that against me. Kids will be kids and pick whether it's over a name or not. Guy Thomas Black is a nice, strong name. Good choice! :)

Where I am from it is pronounced "Gee" (with a hard G)

I'm not really a fan of it, but if you both love it go for it! Be prepared though, you can't mold your kid into any personality type, they will be born with their own personality and may not share your sense of humour especially since it is at their expense!

I don't particularly care for the name Guy, but it is kinda funny. It's good that you both agree on a name that usually doesn't happen

I totally think that you should keep the name for its obvious significance to you and your fiancee... but I just don't particularly care for the name. I think of Guy from Food Network, hah.

It might make him funny, or might bug the heck out him.





I had a friend who wanted to name his son richard harold long so backwards it would be "long harry dick"

Go for it. If he don't like his name he 'll go to the court and change for what ever he like.

ummm,....He would FOREVER be called "Black Guy" and that is not really funny. And it could be offensive...Sorry. Don't do that to a kid.
