These meanings might put some off using Bash on the birth certificate, though for others, it could give it an energetic and confident vibe.
 
Associated for some with the long-running comic strip The Bash Street Kids from the British comic, The Beano, Bash has also featured in the Thomas the Tank Engine Franchise and in the American comedy Franklin and Bash.
 
Quietly used since 2014, Bash was given to 21 babies in 2022, though more recently, it has been declining in the US, given to just 10 boys in a recent count.
