not for me personally - a bit of a nothing name imo

Think of it as a boy name - Kirsty Allsop's son's name, in fact.

Is pretty though.

sorry, but I'm not keen. Either think of bay tree or a bay horse. Not a name imo.

I'm sorry - in theory, yes, beautiful, but in the current zeitgeist it would have to be a middle name, first name beginning E.

Sorry

Might do for a girl..........hmmm mulling it over............

I know a (really nice) woman with a little girl called Bay.

The family is very into water sports and apparently it means Bay like a natural harbour, an inlet, is that the word??

Not like a Horse which is what came first to my mind.

I like it.. Simple, unusual, pretty.

I wonder since this was posted whether anyone actually called their child Bay?

Try spelling it differently, Bey, Baye or Bai, perhaps - get people away from thinking about herbs, otherwise go the whole hog and name the babe garni (as in 'bouquet' - ha ha!)

Bay- Leaf.

I'm sorry I don't like it.

The thread is from Nov 08 - I think the feedback is now falling on deaf ears...

5dollarshake - well spotted! It has made me think differently about herbs as baby names tho!
