Have woken up this morning in love with this name, Dh says its a cow's name. What's your vote? Cute, cow or utterly butterly

Like it. No more of a cow's name than Daisy. I'd avoid it if she's likely to be stout with big round eyes.

haha how about 'Utterly Butterly'?

Bankholidaybaby · 22/12/2013 12:01

Started reading the thread fully intending to write 'no, cow, butter' but I have now warmed to it. I was considering Bessie for my baby and had similar doubts about that. Turned out to be a boy, so I never had to resolve that one.

Depending on your surname, she might sound like a female character in a superhero comic book. That might not be a bad thing!

Butter

Nulanoo · 22/12/2013 11:43

Love it (What Katy Did fan). Don't be put off. I had a margarine-monikered friend. Yes, she got a few jokes but it's a beautiful name.

I really like it.

Ha! I wish it was identical twins that would be awesome! I LOVED what katy did growing up which is why I like the name I think. But think I'm going to have to accept that this is a hormone fuelled name crush....back to the drawing board :)
Cannot risk jokes about her spreading easily if she grows up to be a slutty teen :)

If you had identical twins people could say 'I can't believe it's not Clover'.…….……

I'll get my coat slinks off

I thought butter and cows
DP said there's a song 'roll me over in the clover'
For both reasons, no.

cjbk1 · 22/12/2013 09:47

cjbk1 · 22/12/2013 09:42

I quite like it

williaminajetfighter · 22/12/2013 09:23

I like it a lot. If Flora can make a comeback I can't see why Clover isn't acceptable!

TheBunsOfPanettone · 22/12/2013 09:08

No way, cows and margarine Shock

bakingtins · 22/12/2013 08:57

Buttery. Sorry.

lovesmileandlaugh · 22/12/2013 08:45

I love it! Katy's sister in 'what Katy did'!

Onesleeptillwembley · 22/12/2013 08:42

Have you though of Flora, there's no connotations.... err oh bugger. Grin

ceramicunicorn · 22/12/2013 08:41

Love it

CadleCrap · 22/12/2013 08:24

A cow that spreads easily Snort

Mrsindecision · 22/12/2013 08:24

Thought of butter as soon as I read the title, sorry.

Cascumpec · 22/12/2013 08:23

From the book What Katy Did...I love the name Clover.

SeaDevilscanPlay · 22/12/2013 08:23

Cows name
Plus the rabbit in Sofia the First, who is quite cool, but male.

Olive?

ARightOldPickle · 22/12/2013 08:22

Cow - friend of Buttercup.
