Too many consonants.

Also it's an ugly sounding word.

PaperdollCartoon · 07/09/2017 15:03

Please don't do this to any baby, they have to live with it. What's wrong with people?

ShotsFired · 07/09/2017 15:02

I think Shagwa is better. Really channels that Austin Powers vibe.

BertrandRussell · 07/09/2017 15:01

You have to think again. Jagna is a Polish girl's name so not a unique as you think.

ShowOfHands · 07/09/2017 15:00

Oh give over.

NauticalDisaster · 07/09/2017 14:59

No, it's awful. Really terrible.

Bollox - there you go, you're welcome!

I thought I was going out there a bit with using an uncommon old mans name but wow.

If you live in England/ English speaking country please don't do this to your children.

Ballonz?

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 07/09/2017 14:54

No, Petal is so much better with the classic spelling.

blueskyinmarch · 07/09/2017 14:53

That name makes no sense if it is supposed to sound like Jaguar. In Scotland we pronounce that Jag-you -are!

stopbeingadramallama · 07/09/2017 14:51

It's not a name.

Have you already got a Petl? I assume that's petal without the a? 😳

RubaDubMum89 · 07/09/2017 14:51

For me op it's a no. When I read it all I can hear in my head is a really really posh person saying jaguar.

If you like it though, go for it!

I just thought of it. I wanted to think of a unique name. His sister will be Petl.

midsomermurderess · 07/09/2017 14:47

I just thing of Jagwar Ma, but wrong spelling.

TheNaze73 · 07/09/2017 14:47

There's lots of them about. There were 4 of them in my nieces class at Hogwarts

GiveMeTheTeaAndNobodyGetsHurt · 07/09/2017 14:46

Sounds like the name of a star wars character. And not one of the good ones.

So does stupid.

MirrorTable · 07/09/2017 14:43

I think i need a bit more information to form an opinion.

What are the origins of the name?
Is it male or female?
What does it mean?
Why do you like it?
