What about the name Eartha for a girl due this autumn?
Surname begins with C, middle name possibly Annie

No

Flicketyflack · 25/05/2018 22:05

?

SlinkyB · 25/05/2018 22:05

No.

Sounds like Bertha.

MollyDaydream · 25/05/2018 22:06

I met a little Eartha recently!

DramaAlpaca · 25/05/2018 22:06

I'm sorry, I think it's hideous.

strawberrypenguin · 25/05/2018 22:06

Not sure that's actually a name. How about Martha?

MarthasGinYard · 25/05/2018 22:07

Noooo

It's like a case of the Eartha's

pollyhampton · 25/05/2018 22:11

I know of a Ertha, would that spelling be better? I love it as a name!

IAmMatty · 25/05/2018 22:11

Dreadful. You can't say it and not hear Kitt. And it's slang for shit.

Hatewaybuloo · 25/05/2018 22:15

Woah some harsh responses! Of course it’s a name, Martha is completely different and not one I’m keen on.
The point about slang for shit is valid though, wasn’t aware of that

Oh definitely. I hear Earths, all I think is shit. Sorry Blush

puffylovett · 25/05/2018 22:30

Eartha! Sorry, autocorrect

AnyaMoondial · 25/05/2018 22:30

I really like it!

LastNightsMakeUp · 25/05/2018 22:32

Not at all keen sorry! Each to their own though 👍

redherring4 · 25/05/2018 22:33

Eartha Kitt (going for an Eartha) = a shit

Not one I'd choose!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 25/05/2018 22:34

No, sorry.

Moonkissedlegs · 25/05/2018 22:37

Eartha Kitt is cockney rhyming slang for shit.

Plus its a horrible name.

It's a no from me.

TaggieRR · 25/05/2018 22:38

Earths Kitt = shit

Starlighter · 25/05/2018 22:39

Not keen at all, sorry!

If you want an autumnal name, what about these:

Ivy
Fern
Hazel
Willow
Sienna
Aster

Hatewaybuloo · 25/05/2018 22:46

Yeah thanks as mentioned I’m aware of the slang for shit now. It seems like some people comment just to be nasty.

Starlighter, not specifically looking for autumnal names but there are some nice suggestions there thanks

Jj2431 · 25/05/2018 23:41
