Is it very cruel to call a little girl...

[Purplelooby]

I really love unusual names but be honest with me, is it evil to call a little girl:

Apple
or...
Elfie

DH thinks so. I did have my heart set of Florence after my favourite cousin-in-law, but the Camerons have nicked it :(

[christabell]

To be honest I think Apple is a bit silly, though not the worst name I've ever heard.

I like Elfie, but think should be a nickname for a longer option - Elvina eg?

[SirBoobAlot]

Yes.

[FellatioNelson]

I think Apple is way to obviously a copycat move. I really like Plum though.

Elfie is fine so long as she doesn't end up on the hefty side - which would be unfortunate for her. Just think ahead about all the bad connotations before you pick anything.

[FakePlasticTrees]

It's not evil, just will limit her career options and earning potential as an adult.

[mopsyflopsy]

I think Elfie is lovely. Perhaps Elfriede as full name?

[LetThereBeRock]

Yes and Yes.

You can still use Florence.

[ValiumSingleton]

You can't pick apple. People will just think you copied Gwyneth, although, they copied somebody else in chris martin's circle of acquaintance when she did that!

Plum is a scrotum n'est pas?

I like just Elf, or Leaf.

[Fluffypoms]

I like Elfie its pretty.

I also like Trixie.

[Purplelooby]

Ha ha DH will be very pleased... Not all bad for Elfie though... (I'm a very positive person) but I take the point about Apple. It's so cute though!

[Purplelooby]

Fluffypoms Trixie is VERY cute!

Erm, I'm starting to sound mental with the cute thing - I'll shut up

[DastardlyandSmugly]

I have an Effy which is quite like Elfie. It gets mixed reactions but I love it and it really suits her.

[FellatioNelson]

Nectarine is lovely.

[Fluffypoms]

Go for it.

I usually get this face when replying to what my dc's are called.

But i love their names thats why i chose them

[LynetteScavo]

I like Elfie.

Not Apple though, and it's already been done by a sleb couple.

[BelligerentGhoul]

Evil.

Apple is ridiculous and will make people think you copied that idiot from Cold Play.

Elfie nice as a nn but not as a real name.

[twolittlekings]

Oh not elfie - please!She'll hate you when she is older.

Trixie reminds me of a dog

Florence is lovely - I think go for it but otherwsie but what about Flora?

[Purplelooby]

Like the Sunflower Spread? Or the body's natural defence mechanism?

[AngryPixie]

If you're in Souf London, we'll all think you're calling your son, Alfie, when you call for 'Elfie'

[twolittlekings]

Yes the one and the same! Now I shall never think of Flora in the same light :(

[Purplelooby]

Ha ha sorry twolittlekings

Elfie is getting a better reaction that I expected - I'm going to work on DH a bit more...

I like the Elfriede idea.

[Haliborange]

Hm.
Can you not just do what the posh folks do and call the baby, say, Antonia. Then nickname her Apple/Elfie/Pixie/Teddy/Muffy/La/Grub or whatever.

[twolittlekings]

or use as a middle name - we have quite a few friends who have done this.
