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

Awful.

Time

you give anyone your name, they'd ask if you were born on a Tuesday. It would be SO annoying. Don't do it!

MoHunter · 19/07/2017 21:06

I don't like it, sorry. Confused
Maybe ok as a middle name if baby is born on a Tuesday.

Mrsknackered · 19/07/2017 21:02

I like it

My bins are collected on a Tuesday too

TheMysteriousJackelope · 19/07/2017 20:59

If month names like April, May, June and season names like Autumn and Summer are acceptable, I don't see why day names shouldn't be.

Kazzawazza69 · 19/07/2017 20:56

I like it but don't think I'd be brave enough to use it for my own child!

friedegs · 17/07/2017 21:58

Massively understated. Under the radar cool. Quietly sophisticated. Can you tell I love this Grin. Easily recognised but not common.

HoratioNightboy · 17/07/2017 21:58

I like it. Also Sunday is quite pleasant-sounding for a girl. Thursday and Saturday seem to be the only days of the week that haven't been used, as far as I can see. Friday seems popular for boys in some African cultures - I quite like that too.

FromDistantOphir · 17/07/2017 21:47

I like it

scrivette · 17/07/2017 21:44

I like it. It was one of the girls names in a Point Horror book I used to love when I was younger (her brothers were Brown and West).

SheSaidHeSaid · 17/07/2017 17:01

I used to know a Tuesday, but then her dad was in a band so it seemed to fit because it isn't the norm.

Plexie · 17/07/2017 16:07

I like it but then I love Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next books.

BogQueens · 17/07/2017 15:59

I quite like it, despite once having taught a Tuesday Biddle who had as her middle name a date -- I can't remember what I was, because I only saw it on a list where everyone's full names were given. Her full name was something like Tuesday November the Seventeenth Biddle.

Will it work with your surname?

Breezybreeze · 17/07/2017 15:57

Remember how,much Nicole Kidman was laughed at about naming her dd Sunday. And Sunday has much nicer connotations than Tuesday

cheesydoesit · 17/07/2017 15:57

I bloody love it! A friend of a friend was called this and she really suited it. I think it's cool.

laGrosellaEspinosa · 17/07/2017 15:56

Jooni, I know what you mean, it's very wordy. I think Thursday and Saturday are worse though. Wednesday works better imo. Friday is happy sounding, and it is far less stoopid than say 'Apple'. But Tuesday sounds both weird and yet mundane

laGrosellaEspinosa · 17/07/2017 15:55

My bins are collected on a Tuesday so I'm going to say no.

MikeUniformMike · 17/07/2017 15:54

I like it.

user1471456357 · 17/07/2017 14:55

I know a Tuesday, late 20's, lovely, so I have a positive association.
I like it!

Jooni · 17/07/2017 14:46

Sorry, I think it's silly as a name. I know lots of words are also used as names, but Tuesday is just so... wordy. I just can't picture a person called Tuesday.

Sunday is a bit better, for some reason (and a much nicer day, as someone else said!) Or how about the Cornish name Loveday?

upperlimit · 17/07/2017 13:39

I know a few Mardi cows.

Ginger782 · 17/07/2017 13:37

I grew up knowing a couple of girls called Mardi (Tuesday in French)...

Scheisse · 17/07/2017 13:32

Works more as a stage name instead of a proper name.

NC4now · 17/07/2017 13:27

Tuesday is the worst day of the week. I'd be more likely to hang out with a kid called Saturday. Mind you, Sunday would be pretty cool.
Not keen on Tuesday though. Never have been.

upperlimit · 17/07/2017 13:25

Tuesday: Are we going on Wednesday?
Person 2: No, Tuesday
Tuesday: Well, when then?
Person 2: Tuesday
Tuesday: What?

It'll be like living in a never ending Chuckle Brothers skit.

BenLui · 17/07/2017 13:24

The child would have to be born in a Tuesday for it to work at all.

Think hard about this name because although I don't think it's too awful, it will need a child with a certain kind of personality to carry off with aplomb.

And you can't guarantee that or create it. Babies are not born blank slates and they don't always take after their parents.
