Was my lovely mum's name and would love to use it but wonder if it is too marmite a name? Any thoughts?

I'm sorry but I think it's an absolutely dreadful name for a baby..

I think it would be nice as a middle name.

Too old fashioned.

What was her middle name? That any less old fashioned?

I'm not sure we're ready for a Sheila comeback yet tbh - no offence to your lovely mum. Maybe use it as a middle name?

It doesn't matter what we think. If its to honor your lovely mum. I think you should definitely use it.
For the record. I think the idea of a baby Sheila sounds really cute.
