Hilarious OP.

reuset · 28/02/2015 23:17

Where are you from that the 'name' Saylor is popular? Grin

reuset · 28/02/2015 23:14

Verdict? You're on a wind up!

Maiden Rose sounds very virginal and inappropriate

albertcampionscat · 28/02/2015 20:34

Sounds a bit like a naughty nurse name in a Carry On film.

aoife24 · 28/02/2015 18:05

This is a wind up, no?

countessmarkyabitch · 28/02/2015 16:20

Yep, if you use it as a name its a name. But its a bloody stupid one! prefer Table to Maiden Rose though

Pipbin · 28/02/2015 16:19

Fair enough - not one that I had come across I guess.
But the point I was making is that anything can be a name if you decide to use it as a name.
You could call your child Table or Enlightenment if you wanted. You use it as a name, then it's a name.

countessmarkyabitch · 28/02/2015 14:55

Sky(e) certainly was a name 30 years ago!

AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves · 28/02/2015 13:12

Hebe would be an excellent name if your surname was Jeebie.

No sign of the OP, I see. Hmm

stripedtortoise · 28/02/2015 13:05

Awful.

And saying that 'it doesn't matter as long as YOU like it' is a silly argument imo. Your child lives with the name every day, not you.

CrispyFern · 28/02/2015 09:15

What about changing a letter or two so it isn't a word, if you like the sound.

Like, um, Maisel? Maiben? Maiche?

VixxFace · 28/02/2015 08:05

someone suggested hebe!! That is almost as bad as maiden.

CPtart · 28/02/2015 07:44

Maiden is dreadful, laughable, and if you're trying to be a bit different or edgy then Rose is one of the most common and slightly dull middle names around at the moment.

climbing · 28/02/2015 07:35

Those names are so awful, and so designed to get MN spitting that I don't believe you.

Sorry.

D0nnaO · 28/02/2015 07:34

personally I don't like it as it reminds me of a boat, but each to their own.

As long as you & your OH like it, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks. They'll probably be a few raised eyebrows about the names that me & DH have picked but it's not going to stop me from naming OUR baby it Smile

Arsenic · 28/02/2015 06:52

What does Shyanne name is Sky mean? Confused

Cadence might have better associations and it vaguely rhymes with Maiden (?)

flanjabelle · 28/02/2015 06:46

How about Maiden China... Its got a lovely ring to it... Grin

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 27/02/2015 23:49

What about Malden? Like New Malden.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 27/02/2015 23:47

Awww, that tickled me Grin

JakeyBurd · 27/02/2015 23:35

But I had no idea Corinne was associated with virginity

It's from the Greek for "maiden" so I guess it has the same connotations as the name we're discussing now...

MsQueenie22 · 27/02/2015 22:50

I don't think that the world is ready for Maiden, how about Madeleine Rose?

maggiethemagpie · 27/02/2015 19:03

Dear god, please don't call your child Maiden Rose.
At least it's not Maiden Chelsea.

Pipbin · 27/02/2015 18:53

Is it even a name
But any old bollocks can be a name if enough people decide it is. Sky and Storm weren't names 30 years ago. (I actually think they are nice names).
I know a child who has a regular word as a name. And a lot of African countries use words like Precious or Goodluck as names.

SoupDragon · 27/02/2015 18:52

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 27/02/2015 18:49

Is it even a name. Just looked it up on a site behind the name and no results came up.
Don't like sorry. It makes me think of a something you hang your clothes on.
Love Saylor though, very pretty
