You’d literally be giving them the name that was the last name of a strangely idolized serial killer. Please spare the child and ridicule and choose a different name

I think it’s more of a name for a pet but the choice is yours. I personally wouldn’t if you’re really set on it maybe use it as a middle name x
My first thought was Al Bundy from married with children. The serial killer didn’t even cross my mind.

Here’s my thoughts about naming babies: We may love a certain name but we’re not the ones who have to live with that being our name.
Yes. Bundy is in fact the last name of a serial killer, a type of alcohol, and the last name of a irritating tv character.
Not knowing this prior doesn’t actually change that.
Put yourself in your child’s shoes, how would you feel being named after something like that? How would feel about your classmates or coworkers reactions? Comments would definitely be made both about your child but also about you to your child. If you’re being honest with yourself I’d imagine that you probably wouldn’t have appreciated the name and definitely not the comments.
I can’t tell you what to do, but I would definitely consider thinking of a different name you like just as well without all of the baggage this one will come with.
If you’re absolutely set on it, perhaps use it as a middle name rather than his first name

So I’ve already seen this one before? Is this another person wanting to name their child Bundy or the same person still stuck on it because if it’s the same person I think this is a sign you need to change the name LMAO

If you are OK with children and adults referring to your childs name as a serial killer, because it will happen, then do what you do. But don’t act surprised or shocked or upset when it happens. You know it’s going to happen, So why even put that on that child?

long story short your kid that was his name before he became a killer so 🤷 xxx

Normally don’t care what people name their kiddos, but this along with a few others should just be a no brainer. Think about your child and how THEY would feel or be treated, not yourself. You and your child WILL get backlash or bullied for you naming them that. Don’t act all surprised when it happens because you’ve been warned by people you know and the people of the internet, which you made public by asking. There are a billion and ten names and a lot are unique if that’s what you are going for. IMO, that’s like naming your child Lucifer or Hitler.
Name your child what you want, just know the consequences of your choice.

Pretty close to bindy which is a good name. Of course if you’re not from the states not everyone will know its a serial killer last name. I liked dahmer and I got a ton of backlash. So we went with osmond
My parents named me Anastasia and My entire life it was always referenced weather or not it was royal anastasia, your highness, or princess anastasia. And then the Disney movie came out and you can only imagine what came of that. Luckily being a princess is not a negative. I can only imagine what Bundy would get and it is associated with a very famous negative thing. I would think about it long and hard and decide is your love for a name is worth the risk.i love my name and would not change it but it is associated with a positive.

Google Ted bundy…he murdered women all across the country after he escaped from jail he murdered a bunch of women in a sorority house and a few more people just in one night…then theres al Bundy whom character is famous for being a white trash pos dad who hates his life…idk about u but I wouldnt want my kids name to remind people of either of those names
Ultimately it’s your choice but remember your kid has to live with that (and the backlash) for the rest of their lives… Not to mention any trauma being picked on may cause… If it were me, I would just pick another name …

It’s just an ugly name, doesn’t matter who it’s after.
You don’t……you don’t know who ted Bundy is? Everyone knows who he is and what a terrible person he was. How do you not know? I’m sorry don’t mean to be rude but do you live under a rock or something? Highly confused how you don’t know who he is
Nope bc i first think ted bundy
I think because of this wave of true crime obsession, people will think you named him that because you love Ted Bundy. He will be associated with a serial killer his whole life. Its not like naming him Ted which is common and has other associations. Bundy has one infamous connection that’s not going away anytime soon.

I personally wouldn’t pick that name, but at the same time it’s not my child. You’re probably thinking the generation he’s gonna grow up in won’t know a thing about it just like you didn’t know anything about it. My kids who obviously weren’t born in the 70s even knows about the man. As I said it’s your child you have the right to name it whatever you want. Just think about how he’d feel about it once he’s older. Bc he will find out about that horrible person one way or another. Good luck with trying to make your decision.

I have three questions for you:
- Whose baby is this?
- Do you like the name Bundy?
- Why do you care what people think about your child’s name?
Name your child whatever you want your child to be named. It is really no one’s business.

At the end of the day, Its really all about what you want… and remember, its your kid, so its ultimately your decision…
but in all honesty, I really think you should pass on that name…not only does it remind me of Ted bundy, and of course Al Bundy,
But the firsr name as bundy just sounds weird to me for some reason…
like I said, its ultimately up to you,
But i think the name bundy would be better for a big dog, or cat! Js…

I googled it & it says less than 100 people ( 5 ) have the name Bundy recorded in the social security database between 1880 & 2019, as a first name (it’s Google so it may be wrong 
). That would be an inclination that just about everyone associates Bundy with Ted Bundy & not a great first name choice… but it’s your kid. Just think about the things that he’ll grow up dealing with if that’s his first name is all.

If you like it, go for it. However, you’ll need to accept that whenever people hear Bundy, they will automatically associate it with Ted Bundy who wasn’t just a serial killer, but a necrophile and a shit human being.
If you’re sick of being told you’re naming your kid after a serial killer and he isn’t even born yet, how are you going to feel hearing it for the rest of your life? How is he going to feel living his entire life with that name? Not only will he deal with the repercussions as a child, but also as an adult. Just about everyone he meets, including prospective employers will have a reaction and most of those reactions will be negative.

Just remember that they have to live with your choice. What’s cute for a toddler, might not be for the CEO of a fortune 500 company. My name was an old person name that I hated as a child, but works perfectly for the old me. And for everyone that says it’s your choice, it is; but the child has to live with the nicknames and harassment. Been there, done that.

1 of the most notorious serial killer ever.Do some research for the child’s sake…there are numerous documentaries or just Google it.But to each their own…
I’m confused if your from America and over the age of 30 how do you not know who Ted Bundy is? I first thought you meant to type Bindi like Steve Irwin daughter. Bundy does not sound like a pleasant name to grow up with.
I just think last name when I hear it
You’re setting your kid up for a lifetime of being made fun of.
Why would you do that?
Bundy is associated with a very well known serial killer and most are going to make that association.
Do your child a favor and give him a well thought out name. Kids can be mean in school and you don’t want your kid being bullied for a choice you made.
Think of the long term not just because you “love” a name now.

Somebody once said to go to Star bucks. Get a drink and have the name you want on a cup. And when they say it out loud remember how you feel about it.
Personally, bundy is a no go for me.
And I can only imagine what kids would call him throughout school.
Or the family name of the family on “married with children”
But never heard it as a first name,
If thats what you want to call him do it
Your baby after all
Al Bundy that’s all the bundies I know. I was told naming my daughter Skylar that it’s a mans name or strippers name. Her name is Skylar and I can’t see her any other way.
I personally wouldn’t name my kid that just because if you’re sick of hearing those comments now just think about how sick of hearing them he will be. He will be hearing the Ted Bundy comments his entire life.

My only suggestion is to see past the cute cuddly baby stage. Picture him as a kid in school and as an adult. Can you see him as a child and a successful adult with this name then ok, go for it. However, if you think this name could cause potential issues in school or as an adult, if it will result in disrespect such as not necessarily being placed on the top of the interview list because it isn’t necessarily the most professional name for an adult, then maybe use it as a middle name.

Sorry but when I hear the name Bundy I think of the show Married With Children (Al Bundy) or the serial killer Ted Bundy. If you don’t know much about Ted Bundy I recommend looking him up and familiarizing yourself with him and you’ll understand why that’s where peoples minds go. There was recently a movie released about him,
Many documentaries, books, etc. He is one of the most famous serial killers ever.
My first thought went to Married with Children and Al Bundy.
