Ginger, opinions?

[WeatherShine]

Thoughts on it?

[RortyCrankle]

As a child's name? No it's awful

[RiverTam]

I wouldn't myself.

[CourtJester]

It's a cat

[originalmavis]

Sounds like a character from a 70s American cop show. She is friends with Sherry, Brandi and Candy.

[BitOutOfPractice]

Well Ginger Rogers was verrrrrrry cool

I wouldn't though, partly because if the cat name thing, partly because of the cockney rhyming slang thing, and partly because it's just a bit too quirky for me

[sonlypuppyfat]

It's a cats name, what are you thinking

[villainousbroodmare]

It's a nickname.

[SpaceDinosaur]

I'm going against the grain here

I quite like it for a girl.
but I'm 25weeks pg so probably crazy

[WeatherShine]

It's my hormones, I tell ya! I just thought it sounded pretty, but mysterious.

[originalmavis]

Ginger Rogers wasnt christened ginger though.

[originalmavis]

Hmmmmm. spice girl.

[LineyReborn]

Pretty but mysterious is many things but not that.

[Mybeardeddragonjustdied2016]

We had a chicken called Ginger!!

[HandmaidsTail]

Sounds a bit Strippery.

[LadyMonicaBaddingham]

'Ginger' Rogers was actually named Virginia.

[mustthinkofabetterusername]

I'm usually an extremely diplomatic poster, would dress answers up in cotton wool, but there are some questions that require a more direct approach and I'm afraid this is one of them!!!!!.......

PLEASE do not call any child Ginger. It rhymes with certain lady parts, it's a pet's name, it's a derogatory term (sorry to the redheads, but yes, it is usually used in an unkind manner) and many, many other reasons.

No. PLEASE. No.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

It is indeed a derogatory term, just ask my Son !
No insult is complete, without the word "ginger", thrown in.
How about "Red", or Redmond.
For a girl,
Scarlett
Ruby
Cherry
Rose
OP, please, not Ginger !

[ErrolTheDragon]

I had a cat called Ginger.

[Honeybee79]

I wouldn't. Makes me think of the character Ginger in Casino.

[katemess12]

Ginger Rogers was cool, but the name is not.

Sorry!

[ToadsJustFellFromTheSky]

Awful.

[sycamore54321]

My first thought is the big ugly misshapen spice (tastes lovely though). So, eh, not a good image.

[Lunar1]

If you have twins the other could be garlic.

[Ellieboolou27]

Nut, well you would be if you called your baby ginger
