What do you think?

Would it be better only as a middle name??

(I know Addams)

I went to school with a Tuesday.

It suited her - nobody batted an eyelid.

She is very high up in Metropolitan police CID now - am sure nobody takes the piss out of her name to her face Grin

A very definite no. It's a dreadful name,and quite ridiculous.

letsgorunning · 07/09/2011 22:06

ummmmmmm

Am I allowed to sit on the fence???

On paper and in theory I think it would be really funky and cool (if that doesn't fit with you and your DH i would definatly say not)
But in RL I'm not completely sold.
But if you do, give them a 'normal' other name so they could use that if thy so desire. (because Wednesday splits opinions they may adore it or they may hate you for it - but then that applies to all names I guess)

I know a child called Wednesday and if you knew her you would agree it's a no-no. It's the association for me, sorry.

I'm not mad about that kind of name really; what if she's born on a Sunday??

BikeRunSki · 07/09/2011 21:15

Possibly if she is born on a Wednesday and you really have no other ideas.

bluerodeo · 07/09/2011 21:13

I know a lady called Tuesday......it kind of suits her!

latrucha · 07/09/2011 21:12

Why on earth Wednesday?

Rosa · 07/09/2011 21:10

Terrible....Sorry as you like it !

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/09/2011 21:09

Sorry but I think it's silly. It's what I'd call a Beckham sort of name - trying to be cool but just sounding a bit daft.

Nope - not a joke, I'm actually serious about it.
DH said it could only go on the shortlist if I asked a load of people what they thought and well you lot are a load of people.

But yes I am serious.

their not there sorry

ohjusthitmealready · 07/09/2011 20:55

Someone on here (can't remember there name) suggested it for us as a mn. I love it DH isn't so keen. As a mn I don't think it is bad at all kind of kooky but in a good way.
Don't think I could do it as a fn though. But at least it is an actual name

sonniebonnie · 07/09/2011 20:48

Actually Saturday is nicer.

This is a joke, no?

addictedtofrazzles · 07/09/2011 20:46

I prefer Thursday Wink!

Are you seriously considering it as a name?
