Ahhh good, pleased to see some have gone with the scathing, rude or pretty hurtful responses again on MN rather than constructive and supportive approach we all come here for.

Seriously, asking for an opinion doesn't give you a free pass to be this awful ladies....You can be honest without being an asshole.

For me Maiden = Maiden Aunt, probably the least edgy thing on the planet

Nicki- he cringes now when I remind him nine years on Grin

GiantGaspingSatanicCyst · 27/02/2015 09:51

Maiden Rose definitely has a clitoral feel about it, sorry OP. How about Madchen, like Madchen Amick? Sounds the same but doesn't make one think of virgin boats.

thoth · 27/02/2015 09:48

Also could go with Virginia but I don't think she'd have an easy time at school.
What about Arielle/Ariella?

countessmarkyabitch · 27/02/2015 09:41

Shocking. Really one of the worst ideas I've seen on here. Don't get me started on Saylor (!) and Shyanne (Cheyenne, but still, no).
Is OP in the US perhaps?

HellKitty · 27/02/2015 09:40

I'm not normally a grammar nazi or pick up on people's spelling but 'Saylor' really makes my teeth itch.

Belinda is unusual but girly.
Maiden isn't a name. Nor is Saylor.
I'm hoping it's just the PG hormones! (Dh wanted to call PFB Gallant if it was a boy, thankfully was a girl)

PuppyMonkey · 27/02/2015 09:37

I'm imagining one of those comedy situations like you see in films...

What name?

Maiden.

No your first name...

It's Maiden.

No, not your maiden name, your first name.

Maiden

You're not understanding me...

Argh!!!!

Grin

Its not good. You should do Maiden Marian and then she can be Maid Marian for short.

Rose is lovely.

HermioneWeasley · 27/02/2015 09:35

I call wind up.

PunkrockerGirl · 27/02/2015 09:35

No, sorry. She wouldn't thank you!

RosaliesGinBottle · 27/02/2015 09:33

Maidlin Rose

florascotia · 27/02/2015 09:33

Very sorry to sound so critical, but, as others have said, maiden means 'a girl who has not had sex'. It's a definition, not a name. Until recently, 'Maiden' or 'Maid' (the two words have the same origin and mean the same) was also a patronising way of referring to young women and keeping them in their place - as in the Victorian saying: 'Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever'.

As I'm sure you know, the original Iron Maiden was a ghastly torture device, and that's not a nice thing to be named after, however much you like the band.

As a teenager, a girl called 'Maiden' will get teased and feel horribly embararassed.

As an adult woman, when she's pregnant/a mother, she's going to feel pretty silly....

Branleuse · 27/02/2015 09:29

it sounds pretty but it means virgin, so maiden rose just sounds like a euphemism for virginity.
Doesn't mean you cant use it. After all, Cher called her son Chastity didmt she

UniS · 27/02/2015 09:28

Down here in deepest Devon, girls are still called " little maid" by older folk.

juneau · 27/02/2015 09:28

Its awful, sorry. As is Saylor (which I've never heard of either).

How about you choose an actual name, rather than a random word that will just lead to the child being the butt of jokes?

YoniMitchell · 27/02/2015 09:26

Really? That poor kid.

Never heard of 'Saylor' before, so I wouldn't be worried about it being too 'popular'.

AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves · 27/02/2015 09:25

Surname has to be Name, surely?

SoupDragon · 27/02/2015 09:23

Please tell me your surname is Head. Or Hood.

MadeInChorley · 27/02/2015 09:22

Maiden Chorley is lovely! Grin

Um, no. Sorry, don't like Maiden Rose. Sounds like something to do with boats or virginity. I'm praying you don't have the surname "Head"

Bakeoffcake · 27/02/2015 09:17

Rose is lovely.

Maiden is awful.

SoupDragon · 27/02/2015 09:17

I do not for one single second believe that anyone thinks the name Maiden is "edgy" because of Iron Maiden. Or that Maiden is a good name for a girl at all actually.
