Princess for a girl?

[yummymummie1]

Opinions please without being too nasty would be appreciated we are really struggling to agree on girls names i love Sienna or Lola-mae however hubby not liking either of those and suggested Princess.

[dinkystinky]

It will remind people alot of Jordan and what she called her daughter.

I'd stick with your choices - maybe your husband can call her Princess as a special daddy nickname?

[RockBat]

Lola is lovely (drop the Mae!), Sienna not my bag but not hideous. Princess...your DH is clearly insane . Remind him that she has to live with the name her whole life, and he'll have to call her in Tescos, swimming pool, park etc. Would he like to be called Prince?

[screamingskull]

not too sure as name but as dinkystinky says it could be used as a special name used by daddy.

do not think it's very suitable for an older girl / lady sorry

[brimfull]

god no

[yummymummie1]

no not too nasty at all! tbh that was my point that while she is little it may be 'cute' but i am not so sure she would appreciate it as an adult! anyone have any new suggestions or diff options to go with Lola other than Lola-mae. Thanks!

[Komondor]

I suspect your child would be teased for the name, and you would probably find yourself embarrassed telling everyone what you've called her.

Princess is a pet name, not a name to go on a CV.

[thighsmadeofcheddar]

awful!

[CharlieBoo]

Two words for you....... Katie price! Lola is lovely, drop the Mae IMO. They really don't lend themselves to each other at all.

Would you want to be called Princess now?

[nannynobnobs]

The addition of -Mae is VERY common atm. What's wrong with just Lola? Or Lola May with no hyphen?

[BornToFolk]

If you're asking people not to be nasty, it sounds like you know it's not a great name. How are you going to feel introducing your DD as Princess if you are worried about people's reactions all the time?

Lola is nice, but I wouldn't hyphenate it.

[Komondor]

Lola-Rose ??

I must admit I'm not a fan of hyphenated names. My favourite out of your other choices is Sienna.

[yummymummie1]

Well i am very girly and very into pink etc but even i was abit shocked when he suggested Princess and i dont think myself i would hate it but i dont think i would love it and just because im a girly girl doesnt mean she will be so i am trying to steer him away from Princess but he seems very set on it :s

[PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker]

Horrid and tacky., Lots of Lolas, and loathe Sienna.

sorry.

[yummymummie1]

Sienna is my fav choice if i get my way! :)

[Komondor]

Yummy mummy - Show him this thread, adn the reaction it gets.

[PaisleyPumpkin]

I think it'd be almost cruel to give a girl the name Princess. It's a label. Don't do it.

[GeorgeOsborne]

No

[TitsalinaBumPumpkin]

Sienna is the nicest out of those, Lola is a porn star name and i know a girl called Lola, she is very unpleasant... and Princess... um just no.

[Expecting06112010]

yeah dont name her princess! dont like sienna either, it reminds me of sienna miller which makes me think slapper! but i do like lola!

[ColdComfortFarm]

Sienna is nice, Lola-Mae is very commonplace now (esp the -Mae bit, it's not the deep south!) and Princess is fine as a nickname but horrid as a real name. People will laugh at her.

[ColdComfortFarm]

Sienna Miller won't be famous when your dd is older. And she's alright.

[yummymummie1]

Komondor- I'm too scared to show him as he can be very stubborn and may want it even more just because other people dont like it to prove a point that he's not bothered what other people think lol! i will have to try suggest some other names and see if we can agree x

[cumbria81]

Lola sounds a bit raunchy

Sienna is quite chavvy

[yummymummie1]

and just to clarify LOLO was a porn star not LOLA and it wasnt her real name anyway and was years ago

[MotherMountainGhost]

Sienna or Lola are both lovely. If you choose Princess you and your DD are going to spend a lifetime with people saying 'so you call her princess, that's very nice, but what's her real name now?' Just keep it as a pet name within your family.

Reminds me of when DD2 was born, and when she landed in my arms I muttered, 'Oh what an angel' and the midwife then, clearly having heard everything before and not wanting to be judgemental, put down Angel as the baby's name on her documents. I was horrified (we're fairly conservative on names).
