Hi
Baby girl is due in 2 weeks I've posted about having the name Maggie but I've changed my mind !
What does everyone think of the name Misty ?

Sounds like a hooker name.

Maggie is lovely!

Anasnake · 02/09/2017 11:08

Cat's name

C0untDucku1a · 02/09/2017 11:07

Definite cat name. maggie is nice. Margot? Emmy is nice. Esma? I only know one Esma, possibly short for Esmerelda.

Misty lives in a trailer and wears Daisy Dukes, sky-high wedges and a blouse knotted just below her cleavage.

Please have a rethink.

To me, it's a cats name

I met a misty yesterday but it was a boy dog (I did think it's more of a girl name).

greendale17 · 02/09/2017 11:03

Definitely an animal name

There used to be a girls magazine years ago called Misty - not very helpful and showing my age!

I don't dislike Missey but I think I'd get far too many comments from family .

I'm not sure why I changed my mind about Maggie I down know if I felt it was too harsh sounding and maybe a bit too old fashioned to go with my other girls names .

I quite like Misty, especially for an autumn baby. I don't think 'animal name'. Why did you change your mind about Maggie?

Sallywiththegoodhurrr · 02/09/2017 10:17

It's an animal name to me, sorry

bridgetreilly · 02/09/2017 10:17

I like Maggie!

Emmy is quite popular now - often used as a short form for Emmeline.

SuperBeagle · 02/09/2017 10:03

Misty is very 70s American.

Emmy is sweet.

TeachesOfPeaches · 02/09/2017 10:03

I had a cat called Misty

dowhatyouwish · 02/09/2017 10:02

I don't like Misty, reminds me of a pet

Kr1stina · 02/09/2017 10:02

I agree, Lucy and Katy are lovely names. Go for another similar name that doesn't end with Y or IE .

Alice, , Emma, Isla, Ava, Charlotte, Freya, Isabella , Zara, Rebecca, Rachel, Imogen, Elizabeth, Florence, Eleanor

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/09/2017 09:59

Maggie is a lovely name, Misty is a cat's name.
