Not even a real name I know but any thoughts when used as a middle name for a girl born around the Jubilee celebrations?

Only if you REALLY REALLY REALLY love the Queen or are an X-Men fan.

Grin I suppose it's OK, nobody ever uses their middle names.
I thought I may use Muscat for DD. Sense prevailed.

No it's strange. We decided against Elizabeth due to DD being due near the Jubilee celebrations and everyone we spoke to thought it was stupid.

As a massive X-Men fan..I'd say yes. To do with the Jubilee, nah.

I thought X-Men too. Which would be fine but she's a bit of a crap character.

X-Men yes, Queen's Jubilee no.

I actually quite like it as a middle name.

As a middle name? Just about OK if 'hidden' amongst others.

Was going to come onto say that Jubilee would be Lovely Jubly.

Jubilee is a frozen drink, one of those plastic cup things with a lid you pierce with a straw.

Regina, cool.

Terrible.

And Regina is even worse imho.

Was just speaking to my dad about this today, apparently, my great, great, great grandfather (a farmer) had a horse called Jubilee, born on Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1894. He went on to become a war horse during WW1, and died bravely in battle on the fields of Flanders. Fancy that.

No one would seriously give their child the name Regina would they?? Seriously??? Shock
