Saw this name on Nameberry under the Girls 'P' section. Is it too ridiculous to use? Quite cute nickname potential!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Fideline?
It sounds like a rude habit.

Pomeline sounds pretty similar actually.

MirandaGoshawk · 02/10/2013 21:51

Apple-scented floor cleaner?

Herisson · 02/10/2013 21:14

It sounds like an obscure citrus fruit. No.

Trampoline and Tambourine for twin girls.

DoItTooJulia · 02/10/2013 20:27

Oh, I like it. On my own then.

meditrina · 02/10/2013 20:26

Nitroglycerin is awesome

ImpOfDarkness · 02/10/2013 19:54

Frankly, even in French it's utterly ridiculous. I've never encountered it myself IRL, but I can just imagine the kind of posh Madame Figaro kind of girl it belongs to. It's more Nordine and Azzedine round these parts...

Writerwannabe83 · 02/10/2013 10:57

No more ridiculous than 25% of the other names we see on here

RoadToTuapeka · 02/10/2013 08:45

Ugh!

squoosh · 01/10/2013 23:06

There's always Killer Queen.

YouHaveAGoodPoint · 01/10/2013 23:06

Wolverine is quite popular.

squoosh · 01/10/2013 23:04

I prefer Benzedrine, it's much punchier.

BillyBanter · 01/10/2013 23:01

Chlorine is nice. Feminine.

Kerosene is probably due a comeback.

YouHaveAGoodPoint · 01/10/2013 22:58

AutieStella

Magazine, mezzanine, tangerine, and let's not forget, nitroglycerine.

BillyBanter · 01/10/2013 22:56

Windolene is too much like Wendy of Wendy fame but the rest are golden, stella

BigBrassBand · 01/10/2013 22:48

I like it.

I'll get me coat, shall I?

LemonLies · 01/10/2013 22:45

Yes, those are nice.

AuntieStella · 01/10/2013 22:44

You've missed out Margarinr, Vaseline, Windolene and Germolene.

Makes me think of a gymnastics pommel horse

LemonLies · 01/10/2013 22:21

I think people would think you made it up, even though you didn't.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/10/2013 18:46

Sounds like a small dog. Hate it, sorry.

charleslingus · 01/10/2013 18:27

Yeah, pretty normal to me, but I'm French. Can understand how it may not sound good in English. If you like it another one I would group with it is Apolline (derived from Apollo and tres chic)
