Brooklyn, Madison and Sky are not fine.

AdorabeezleWinterpop · 23/08/2015 14:23

I know one (aged 8). Not a fan (of the name, not the child.)

hazeyjane · 21/08/2015 19:20

I like it

processingincorectly · 21/08/2015 19:20

Why not, if Brooklyn and Madison and Sky are fine?

I know a lovely guy who has a daughter called Jerzie. Its fine.

To be honest I assumed you were joking about jersey as a name Confused

I like Jessica but would always think of Jesse as a boys name.

Some of the replies on here are hilariously rude! Grin

Some quite mean replies on here Hmm

I don't think its that bad but there are thousands of much nicer girls names, why not just use Jessica / Jessie?

Nonnainglese · 21/08/2015 18:51

Ye gods and baby goldfishes, are you serious?
Potatoes, cows, cream, jumpers.... Why not Gurnsey, Alderney, Channel?

Pity the poor child.

Ifiwasabadger · 21/08/2015 18:45

I'm from Jersey, god no!

LumelaMme · 21/08/2015 18:39

My first thought when I saw the OP was MOOOOO.

scatterthenuns · 21/08/2015 18:32

The only Jerseys I've ever known were nicknames that because they are from there.

MagalyMaman · 21/08/2015 18:30

I think COW

Rainuntilseptember15 · 21/08/2015 18:28

Children will call her cow.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/08/2015 18:27

It's bloody awful. Sorry, but it is.

EmpressKnowsWhereHerTowelIs · 21/08/2015 18:25

Is this another joke thread, in the worthy cause of cheering MNers up?

Perhaps connected to the thread from a couple of weeks ago about the poster who was not, nor had ever been a cow?

Call her Mitmoo, OP.

BeautifulBatman · 21/08/2015 18:25

Potatoes. New ones.

LynetteScavo · 21/08/2015 18:24

Well, initially I thought NO....then I thought Why Not? Then I thought Jersey Cow.

Limer · 21/08/2015 18:21

Surname Royal?

I don't really like it though.

Scoopmuckdizzy · 21/08/2015 15:38

I know of someone with a baby girl named Jersey.

bamboostalks · 21/08/2015 15:30

No way. That's not nice at all. It's actually weird.

NerrSnerr · 21/08/2015 15:24

I live in England and would think cow, jumper or island. It really isn't a name.
