I don't know why I like it, but I do! Is it ridiculous?

Only if the child was born in a Tuesday!

I could have called all three of mine 'Friday' because that seems to be the only day I give birth on!

"See you next Tuesday" is a fairly well-known euphemism.

AmITwirly · 24/07/2017 12:23

I wouldn't do it. It's too confusing.

I know a woman called Tuesday. At least I think she's called Tuesday because every time I see her, I get brain fog and think to myself: is it Tuesday? Wednesday? Thursday?

Previously I worked with a woman called Saturday. It caused massive confusion in the office. Clients would ring and we'd say "Saturday will call you back" and they'd say "But I'm not here on Saturday" etc

Ha Bot I've come across Friday Knight too, in connection with the Royal Marsden???

CherriesInTheSnow · 23/07/2017 23:36

I wouldn't use it but quite like it, but then I like quirky girls names.

I much prefer Loveday and also think Friday is more "namey" than Tuesday Smile

WannaBeDelgadaToFitInToMyPrada · 23/07/2017 23:28

Sigourney Weaver's name Susan too. I prefer Susan but it is a name that no celebrity can stick with!

Itsnotwhatitseems · 23/07/2017 19:11

and we named a cat Tuesday

Itsnotwhatitseems · 23/07/2017 19:11

ruby is a lovely name although Ruby from upstairs downstairs springs to mind

Epipgab · 23/07/2017 18:59

It would wind me up to hear it pronounced Choose-Day half the time.

No, Tuesday Weld 's real name was Susan. She was such a beautiful girl, I always longed to look like her.

BotBotticelli · 23/07/2017 14:43

I used to work with a man (a senior scientist) whose first name was Sunday. It really suited him.

And I once saw a woman enrolled on a course whose name was....FRiday Knight! Seriously.

midsomermurderess · 22/07/2017 21:02

I rather like it too.

MoonfaceAndSilky · 22/07/2017 20:57

Also a fforde fan. Thursday, Tuesday and Friday in one family

Me too, love the name Tuesday Smile

Beeziekn33ze · 22/07/2017 20:52

Tuesday Weld who was born on aTuesday I guess. Someone said she should have married Frederic March III and become Mrs Tuesday March III!!

Hintreppit · 22/07/2017 20:48

I really like it!

halcyondays · 22/07/2017 20:41

I like it.

AnotherLegoBrick · 22/07/2017 13:48

Sister for Wednesday...

Tuesday for a girl
TroysMammy · 22/07/2017 11:50

I knew of a man named Sunday. I always wanted to ask if he had siblings named after the other days of the week. I never did because I would have been disappointed if he said their names were Jane and John.

daisypond · 22/07/2017 11:47

I don't like it. It's just a day of the week - an average day of the week. It's not like Autumn or April, which may have nice images about them. It's commonplace in some West African cultures to have a day name - everyone has one - but it's not common in Western society.

NikiBabe · 22/07/2017 04:05

I had a Tuesday in my class at school
No one made fun. It was just her name.

Why not!

TurquoiseOwl · 21/07/2017 20:13

When the teacher is looking for Tuesday's work, it'll be quite difficult...

DurhamDurham · 20/07/2017 17:34

I like it, doubt I would have got it past my husband but if you both like it go for it. There'll be no trouble with the spelling of it, everyone will know Smile

queenofthedump · 20/07/2017 17:32

I know a grown-up called Tuesday and it's just too confusing.

SingaSong12 · 19/07/2017 21:25

I'd hate being called Tuesday - the constant asking why. As PP says you need to be confident. Could you use for a middle name. Then if your DD is quirky she can use it, or it could be her home name and her more conventional name for formal things.

Fiona1984 · 19/07/2017 21:14

I really like it, it's unusual
