What do you think of the name Lushe as my baby daughter's name?

What do you think of the name Lushe (silent e) as my baby daughter's name? Plenty of people have the surname Lush so why not have it as a first name? I already have a daughter called Harlowe which caused uproar with the family but has been received well in nursery but I need something just as unusual for my new arrival due in January. This is my first post so please be nice to me...

sirboob i love the name Scout! DS would have been Scout, if he were a girl Grin but Lush is not a nice name OP for the reasons already stated.

Lexi is lovely.

iMoniker - I used to like Sienna but you are right it has become very common and there's one that lives in the same town as me. Kendra is one of Hugh Hefner's ex playmates (i think) so I'll avoid that like the plague.

Nope never watched it - you seem to like names suitable for boys or girls so maybe have a look at more of those.

amck5700 - Piper is nice, reminds me of Charmed (if you ever watched it?)

Wantan orange - Thank u for your constructive criticism, the reason I added a pointless letter onto Harlowe is to make it more feminine and also to shut my hubby's family up about referring to Harlow in Essex. If I was from Essex then I probably wouldn't have called her that.

I'm in the South West and Lush has always meant lovely/delicious, hence the name of the shop. I still wouldn't choose it though!

Silent letters added on for nothing seems utterly pointless to me.

What other names do you like?

iMoniker - Brooke is definately going to be considered (I think hubby liked it too) as I don't know any either. I did meet a newborn in a hair dressers who had just been given the name so I thought the popularity had sinced increased.

badtime - Not Scandinavian background that I know of, my mum just likes unusual name and I do too. Jansen is acually a Turkish friend of my dad's that we named him after.

teothersend - Unusual but not sure about that one? Do you know someone with that name?

iMoniker - You're on my wavelength now, think you've sussed the kind of names I go for, January is nice. I also like Autumn.

iMoniker · 01/09/2012 12:28

None. Not one.

I know two Brooklyn's though

badtime · 01/09/2012 12:27

jem08/OP, do you have a Scandinavian background? (I ask because of your brother's names)

If you are, maybe try a nice Scandie name. It will seem unusual, but not 'out there'.
