My sis is called little blue, long story, its only a nick name, I call her blue, alot.

Have just found out we are expecting a long tried for number three (so there will be lots of name thread form me coming up :) ) and i like the idea of using my sis in the baby's name...blue....Bluebell, which i honestly think is a fabulous name even without sis connection.
So what do you think...Im only a few weeks so have a looong time to change my mind, no need to have me done for child abuse just yet, its just an idea..

I wouldnt mind being called Bluebell

Bluebell to me will always be the name of a cow. It might be a sweet nn, but it's really not a good name at all. Really light weight and twee. I think it is just about OK as a middle name.

And congratulations! You must be so happy! :)

I think it's pretty actually! If you can have a Lily or a Rose or a Poppy, and then a Dahlia or an Azalea, why not a Bluebell? She can always go by Bell(e) if she doesn't like it.

"Blue" is okay, Bluebell is just, ugh! Noooooooo...

The Latin name for Bluebell genus is Hyacinthoides, rather like Hyacinth.
I think Hyacinth would be a cool name, and you can still use the nn Blue.

Middle name yes, first name no.
