Bovine was the first name of a beloved uncle, and Estrus was the maiden name of his maternal grandmother (to whom he was very close). These are traditional Irish Gaelic names and are quite common in rural southwest Ireland.
Need comments on this babby boy name: Bovine Estrus?
Bovine is also the name for Cow.
If you live in southwest Ireland then go ahead and use the name, but if you live in the U.S. I would say no.
You're son will be teased all his life, beloved uncle or not.
Reply:hahahahahaha
You are hysterical
PS my boyfriend my boyfriend LOVES it.
why not given him two middle names?
Bovine Estrus Lordosis
I read Lordosis is derived from both English and Gaelic to mean "kingly" or "one who rules"
Could be a nice addition.
Reply:Mrs. O'Tool,
I'm Irish and have lived here all my life. I can assure you that no-one in south-west Ireland, or anywhere else in the country, is called Bovine or Estrus and you are deluding yourself to think otherwise!
Don't call your child Bovine - it's not fair to give a child a name that will have them taunted by other children in school (which will most likely happen, due to 'bovine' meaning related to cows). I think you should go for something slightly more conventional instead! If your husband wants to call him 'Bo', how about the name 'Beau'?
Reply:This is about as funny as someone dying!
Bovine is a type of cow while Estrus/Estrous is the technical name for a the female ovulation cycle. aka. a womans period!
How about Boniface Ezra? They're two weird names, but they're a whole lot better than what you came up with.
Earthy
Reply:If Bovine is acceptable where you live, then go for it. Family names are special. However, the name Bovine makes me think of cows, but I am from America. I like Estrus as a middle name because it is unique. Is there a nickname for Bovine you could use instead of the full name? Bo?
Reply:Honestly, dont do it.
Bovine relates to cows.
And Estrus is the medical term form for the fertility/heat cycle in mammals, like dogs on heat.
You will literally be calling your child "the heat cycle of cows".
Have a look in a dictionary of you think my answer sounds a bit strange.
Reply:Bovine Estrus,
surely you jest
"Cow in heat" lovely name for a child.
Sorry years of medical terminology and Latin.
If family names are important - go for it
You did ask for comments, and I'm horrified
Reply:Isn't Bovine another name for cows?
bovine
Adjective
1. of or relating to cattle
2. dull, sluggish, or ugly [Latin bos ox]
Sorry to be mean to your uncles name but it is..
I dont think you should name your son that.
Reply:Didn't you post a similar question recently about naming your "babby" girl Snarfles or something? Also after your uncle named Snarfles?
I think you need to re-think what Irish Gaelic names are.
And stop wasting peoples time posting stupid questions. Get a life.
Reply:Bovine is handsome, but I'm a little iffy about it. Estrus is strong and simply flawless. Bovine Estrus does flow quite well, though, and would suit a babby boy perfectly.
Reply:If Bovine can give milk, it's a great name. If not, what's wrong with calling him Equine? He'd be a great worker. I hope you are joking. Why would you call anyone that name? He'll be laughed at the rest of his life.
Reply:I'd stay away from mammalian names and female cycles, personally.
Reply:I suppose if they are common where you are then they are fine..they aren't totally strange but if you lived in the USA some people might think that they were. Bo would be cute as a nickname.
Reply:Move to rural southwest Ireland to have that baby.
Reply:Wonderful name.
Reply:Sorry but thats just awful...I pity the poor kid as he grows up. Just call him Bo Estrus perhaps?
Reply:TROLL!!!
Estrus ISN'T GAELIC NAME IDIOT
NEITHER IS
Bovine
GET A LIFE
Reply:I dont like Estrus but if its important to the family then go for it
Reply:I like Bo.. but Bovine makes me think of a pig.. for some reason.. but if your are popular where you live %26amp; you like them.. go for it!! It is our child.. not mine :)..
