[Opinions] Re: WDYT of nicknames Bud's?
I read your post after I posted mine and thought "oh no maybe that was offensive!".
I have never met anyone named Bud so my opinion is mostly formed on the character of Bud from Married with Children and of course that it a beer (although I really like Killian & that is a beer).
If your grandson was called Bud & you told me the reason why, I would probably think that it was sweet (I still wouldn't like the name but would like the reasoning).
Side note: Me & my husband use Buddy as a term of endearment for each other (& our dog) but as a given name, it just rubs me the wrong way.

I think now that I shouldn't have said, "I'm trying not be offended", and I apologize for that. I want to emphasize that you're entitled to your opinion and you shouldn't worry about offending anyone. If we all worried about that, nobody would say anything negative about any name, and it would get pretty boring. I myself have stated here that I dislike certain names, knowing full well that there are people who post here who have used those names for their children! No, I'm not offended, don't worry about it. :-D
