I seriously can't imagine anyone using this as a legal name for their child. Your kid isn't a dog.

People actually call their children Buddy? Buddy is not a name. You can literally say to any kid “hey Buddy”. It’s fine as a nickname, but I just can’t imagine this as a person’s actual name. Buddy as a name, only fits a child.

The name is super cute, but I would only use it as a nickname, possibly for Rose, like Hushpuppy said. ;)

This is so bad. You can call any child "Buddy" just as you can call them "sonny" or "kid" but why would you put that on a birth certificate?
Imagine having to introduce yourself as Buddy at the age of 25 or having to put that name on a job application.

I know a kid that has this as his nickname. All his friends call him Buddy, his real name is Jeremey. Sure the name is childish, but he is now in 6th grade and he doesn't mind his nickname. Go figure.

My brother is named Buddy. It is a nickname for Ellis. I don't like it but he is my brother so... Anyway it's not just a dog name. My sister and I have dog names tho...

The etymology of Buddy is incorrect. The word actually stems from an Irish slang word used in New York during the turn of the century by Irish immigrants and communities. The word is "Bhodaigh", which is pronounced Buddy, and translates to "pal". There's another Irish word very similar that could also be the origin or part of it, which is "vuddy", which very well could be just a separate pronunciation of "Bhodaigh", or the correct one and Buddy is wrong. It's because I'm not sure what type of mutation is going on there, but there more than likely is one, hence the h after the b.

My uncle was nicknamed Buddy. His name was Stewart, but everyone called him Buddy. I lost my uncle Buddy when I was very young, so this name, even though it was just his nickname, will always make me think back on the good memories I have of my uncle.

I think this name is far too insubstantial as a name by itself. He might get asked if his name is a nickname of another name.

I don't like this name. It's too nicknamey and childish and won't be taken seriously as a full name. Can you imagine a doctor, lawyer, engineer or anybody named Buddy? I think not.

Buddy is such a nice nickname especially for a little boy, but as a name of a grown man it's way too childish and cute. I like it as a dog's name, too - and there's nothing wrong with using the same name on both people and animals.

Bartolo "Buddy" Valastro. Inspirational, talented, Italian-American baker of hometown Hoboken, New Jersey-- made famous by TLC's hit television show "Cake Boss," and recently of "Kitchen Boss." Other bearers include his father, his son, and I believe a nephew Buddy Castano, the son of Mauro and Maddalena (sister) Castano.

"Thank you for nothing, Buddy!" "Hey Buddy, what do you think you're doing!"
This name doesn't even sound good on a dog (as sweet and as accepting as dogs are, they'd be ashamed to bear this name).

This is just dumb as a legal name, and it's not good as a nickname, either. I like it on an animal, though. This is the name of my cat.

This would make a cute nickname, but no way is it worse than Bunny.

No way. This name is even worse than Bunny. It sounds so silly and pathetic as a legal name. I pity anyone who has this for a name.

As an actual name, this is extremely silly and infantile, and a man with this name would hardly be taken very seriously. This only works as a nickname, and preferably for kids only.
