Everest?

DH and I can’t decide on any names at all for either sex. It’s getting ridiculous with approx 6 weeks to go, if I follow my first.

My 2.5 year old says the baby is called Everest (yes, from paw patrol 🙈). In my madness I’m actually considering it. Is this just hormones and desperation clouding my judgement. Or would it be acceptable?

I love the name Everard - same vibe but more legit

Ginnotginger · 31/03/2018 18:32

Dgs1 wanted to call his brother Romeo after the baddie in PJ Masks. Like you OP my dd started to seriously consider it as she didn't like any names at all by late pregnancy.

AyeAye. Grin

I work with a man named Everest if that helps. He is in his 30s, and nobody but me batted an eyelid about his name Grin

Everest for a baby? I just can't get over it.

I'll get my coat.

Greenyogagirl · 31/03/2018 13:42

For a girl or a boy?!

MrsJoshDun · 31/03/2018 13:41

Hormones.

If kid turns out to be a short arse they will not thank you....infact they won’t thank you if they’re 6ft2” either. It’s a shit name.

I think the idea from PintOfCalpol of Edmond or Hilary is inspired!

megletthesecond · 31/03/2018 13:38

Only as a middle name and only if one of you has actually been up there.
I'm a fan of slightly bonkers middle names.

Oh god, Mount Everest 😂😩🙈 yes, you’re all right, I’m totally desperate. And being completely unreasonable and ridiculous as my DD is is already and Ev name even if it was a normal name. I know we will come up with something eventually and 6 weeks is a long time. I just can’t see it at the moment. Why do I like no names? Let alone one we both agree on. sigh

It's nice, but You'll be forever asked if he/she was conceived on there.Grin

Sophronia · 31/03/2018 10:23

How about Everett or Everly instead?

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 31/03/2018 10:19

It's the hormones talking! Don't do it! Grin

GnotherGnu · 31/03/2018 10:08

Imagine if it's a girl and people keep going on about Mount Everest. She'll hate you for it.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 31/03/2018 09:59

You've got 6 weeks to go, some other name will pop into your head by then. Smile

helpmum2003 · 31/03/2018 09:57

Double glazing here as well. Can you tell us 1st dc name?

Popadoodledoo · 31/03/2018 09:54

I definitely don't like it. All I kee thinking of is MOUNT

I agree I think this is the desperation talking Grin

Naberes · 31/03/2018 09:41

Everett?

PeonyTruffle · 31/03/2018 08:53

Haaaaa. No. Just no.

Don’t do it! Grin

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 31/03/2018 08:51

My DCs are too old for Paw Patrol so to me it was double glazing adverts that sprung to mind Grin

BrutusMcDogface · 31/03/2018 08:49

I recently heard a name on here that i hadn't heard before: Everley. That's quite similar! But I do think you might regret calling a baby after a paw patrol character Grin
