There are sister’s called Meadow and Willow in my DC’s school. It’s kind of cute but also really airy fairy, the Mother is not a hippy and seems quite sensible which surprised me.

I would think you were a major hippy hearing those names.

TheJoxter,

Never heard of Fable as a name. The others are standard hippy names.

Songes · 28/07/2019 17:09

Pixie is so ridiculously stupid. I’d hate to be a grown woman called Pixie.

The others are hippy dippy / celebrity type names. Meadow is no worse than Willow, though, I suppose...and MN loves that name.

HalfManHalfLabrador · 28/07/2019 17:07

Actually a lot better than most of the names regularly trotted out here

VoyageInTheDark · 28/07/2019 17:03

They sound like characters in a YA novel

CrackOn · 28/07/2019 16:55

Isn't Fable Moon a bit too much like 'Sailor Moon'?

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 28/07/2019 16:34

I love Meadow Raven, and Fable Moon!!

There's a place for hippy chic names. They're a genre in their own right.

I see nothing wrong with any of them. There's a difference between chavy 'yoonique names' and deliberately boho chic names.

Love them.

Lllot5 · 28/07/2019 15:47

Too try hard pot smoking hippies who don’t think of the poor little sods going through life with ridiculous names.
Ok for pets not children.

ChelseaCat · 28/07/2019 15:39

All f ridiculous

IsobelRae23 · 27/07/2019 18:30

I actually really like the names. I wanted ‘different’ for my dc, but their ddad didn’t agree. So we went mainstream. I admit I do see ‘unusual names’ and have a little prang of regret. I often say to dc, how would you feel if you had been called ‘X’ and mostly they say they would have preferred it, however there are the odd few, that have made them look at me as if I’m mad.

TheGirlWhoLived · 27/07/2019 18:21

Head on over to the most unusual names thread. Lots of ‘hippy woo’ going on.
Things like leaf, oak, bodhi, bamboo, winter, river, archer, tree, rainbeau, storm(i), lucifer, bambi, tinkerbell, reign, sno, whind, Fyre, hillock, balonz

All the usuals

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 27/07/2019 18:15

They’re the paints you’d find on a Dulux colour chart for a preteens’ bedroom

Owlbert · 27/07/2019 18:12

I like them! Always had a soft spot for the name Pixie!

Ok. So it seems Fable is the least favoured on this thread.
Anyone got any other hippie woo type names they could suggest?

Also fable is like a warning tale so....not crazy about it.

31RueCambon · 27/07/2019 16:12

On paper a bit hippy.

But can imagine it working.

I have known a clover, a storm,both lovely.

Fawn is not nice though. I know it's a dear but Fiadh is nicer. I think of Fawning over somebody in an obsequious way.

icannotremember · 27/07/2019 16:08

I'd think they were probably from a fairly privileged family. The ones you see on Grand Designs who are all "Julia has been at home with the children since 2007 and I work 3 hours a week giving spiritual massage and we have a budget of £1.5 million".

Namechangedonceagain · 27/07/2019 16:05

I like Meadow, Pixie, Fable, Moon, Fawn AND Clover. But I'm a bit of a hippy

TheJoxter · 27/07/2019 10:32

CampfireZen
Very hippy dippy Cotswold town full of wealthy hippies who send their kids to expensive Steiner schools and live in fancy eco houses. Kids called things like River, Soul, Snowdrop, etc

Live sustainably. Not love.

Not stoners and they don't live in Brighton. More countryside hippie types. Sort of nature hippies. Smallholding, rare breed sheep, tumble down house, trying to love sustainably.
I kind of like it!

"Very normal names where I’m from!"

Am intrigued, TheJoxter...

BillywilliamV · 27/07/2019 05:28

If you can be sure of having whispy, ethereal, fairy like girlies -fine!

These names would not be any use for a herd of heffalumps!

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 27/07/2019 04:43

I'd think their parents were in a drumming circle.
