Hello everyone,

Could I possibly get an opinion on these names? My partner and I are worried about potential issues/problems/bullying in the future, so any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Btw...Littleun will be taking my partner's surname which is very rare in the UK.

Here's the sort of shortlist!
Binky Ramone (girl obviously, my favourite!)
Logan Kassidi (boy)
Skylar-Rae (boy)
Thaila-Koltyn (pronounced Tyler Colton, girl)

DP has their heart set on Yolandi. I'm just not too sure.

Any suggestions/advice would be fantastic!

Sorry I think they're all horrid. They sound like 'made up' names apart from Logan. I know a few little Logan's.

Kassidi is not good. Cassidy is better.

Binky is the name for a rabbit or a fairy....not a little girl! Smile

Imagine if she goes through a Goth phase, dressed in black, nose piercings and she is called Binky!!!! SmileSmilePmsl.

Do the test....

'All rise for Judge Binky Foster.......' Nope, this does not work.

'This is your Captain Binky Maynard speaking....' Nope!

Ruprekt; I thought Binky would fit in well with the mass popularity of 'cute' names eg. Lily, Alfie, Archie...all lovely names but not really our cup of tea. We definitely want something very alternative!

Aftermay; I do actually like Yolandi, it just sounds kinda weird with DP's surname. However, it would go very well with my surname! :(

Yolanda is the best choice from your list. Big 'no' for all the others.

Tyler for a girl and Skylar for a boy?

They will have to spell their name out forever.

Ruprekt · 06/07/2013 11:28

Truthfully???

No.

Binky? ShockShockShock Can YOU imagine being called Binky??
No.

Skylar for a boy is wrong.
Logan is ok-ish out of all of them.

Cannot pronounce the last one.
