Or Middleton Pink by Farrow and Ball, if parents are royalists.

It sounds like something off the Dulux paint chart.

countrysidelife2024 · 22/07/2024 15:08

sounds like a stripper name

They could take a look at the Farrow & Ball paint chart for some inspirational names.

Yes Sulking Room Pink sorts out her middle name too. Win win!

Horrendous.

Lily the Pink though???!!!!! Surely they aren’t serious?

billycat321 · 22/07/2024 11:10

Polly Pink and Peggy Pink are cute, as you say, but will sound daft when she is fifty and a magistrate or chairman of local WI. Ideal names for a doll, though.

For a while I had Park as a surname. Every single first name we could come up with for our unborn sounded like the destination board on a local bus.

So I would have thought that someone with Pink as a surname would have to be doubly careful with naming...although I do have to admit to a grudging liking for Cerise!

Ushion Pink.

For those rare occasions when it's called out Surname Forename.

😉

😂😂😂😂😂

Sky Blue?

FinalCeleryScheme · 22/07/2024 10:40

Bubblegum Pink.

Top name!

ladymalfoy45 · 22/07/2024 10:36

Danielle Pink (I'm a Doctor Who fan)

Benjilassi · 22/07/2024 10:34

Eeek, it won't take long for your sister to find out what you're saying about her.

InsensibleMe · 22/07/2024 10:16

‘Plinkety’?
It doesn’t quite work ☹️

KateDelRick · 22/07/2024 10:06

Medicinal Compound.
Be like every other parent of a daughter in the last 15 years and make sure her middle name is Rose.

CurlewKate · 22/07/2024 10:03

I now have Lily the Pink stuck in my head....

ChopSue · 22/07/2024 10:03

Lilysienna1 · 22/07/2024 00:12

Other names on the shortlist :
Lily Pink
Violet Pink
Rose Pink

I don’t think they’re thinking this through very well.

Lily the Pink? 😂

DoopSnoggySnogg · 22/07/2024 10:02

The kind of name I would have made up for myself when I was a teenager 😬 It sounds almost like a drag name.

ActualChips · 22/07/2024 10:00

You should have put spaces between the letters of the name in the title. Now if anyone googled the kid in future they'll see this thread.

Getonwitit · 22/07/2024 09:59

Poor child will be a laughing stock all her life. Show your sister this thread, maybe then she will realise how cruel she is being.

SeeSeeRider · 22/07/2024 09:53

Sounds like a paint shade. No. Just no.

themonkeysnuts · 22/07/2024 09:46

it sounds like a 'password' to her phone -poor kid if she does use it

TruJay · 22/07/2024 09:43

@Spirallingdownwards the advert under your comment 🤣

‘Cerise Pink’ is not a good baby name?
Ponoka7 · 22/07/2024 09:35

Tell her that Cerise means cherry and it is a shade of red, if you want to be pedantic. If anyone is in a certain area of Liverpool they'll know a Snow White, it is a cruel thing to do to a child.
