Fawn is fine. I knew a couple who called their baby DD Fawn in the mid 90’s.

Fable I think is the worst, but none are hideous. Me being me, I prefer them to some of the old lady names that are popular at the moment.

The parents were stoned or they live in Brighton. Or both.

Yep, that sums it up.

I really wouldn’t want to go through life called Fable.

Derbee · 27/07/2019 04:02

Honestly, I’d assume the parents smoke a lot of weed, and the kids are a bit grubby and unruly/undisciplined

I know a little girl who's about 3 called Fawn. It suits her and she has a sister called Blossom. I personally prefer Fawn.

😂😂😂

I would count myself as a bit of a hippy, but even I would avoid names like that, they just sound like they really want everyone to know how much of a free spirit they are as a parent. I wonder if OP has met some people I know and that has prompted this post, they have DC with a few of the names on that list.

I think .... vegan

“I’m dead quirky me! I also have multiple pairs of Irregular Choice shoes.”

Sorry.

TheJoxter · 26/07/2019 18:45

Very normal names where I’m from! 😂

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 26/07/2019 18:40

I’d think they’d probably grow up to resent their parents’ name choices.

Meadow Raven is just about ok. Pixie Spirit is, IMO, ridiculous. The other two are a bit try-hard.

joystir59 · 26/07/2019 15:44

They wouldn't suit 99.9% of the women I know

RightOnTheEdge · 26/07/2019 15:43

I quite like them especially Meadow and Raven.
I like names like River, Autumn, Storm etc.
I don't think I'd be brave enough to use them in real life though. Well maybe Autumn.
My dd has got a cutsy flower name though

BackforGood · 26/07/2019 15:40

I'd feel sorry for them, tbh.

userabcname · 26/07/2019 15:38

I'd feel a bit sorry for Fable - that's a horrible name!

Lamentations · 26/07/2019 15:34

I'd think the parents had complete disregard for how their daughters will feel about their names as teenagers and adults.

As an adult woman wanting to be taken seriously at work and in life I'd be gutted to have any of those names.

msmith501 · 26/07/2019 15:33

Maybe give them less unusual middle names?

girlinabluedressagain · 26/07/2019 15:27

I LOVE Meadow Raven!

DrinkSangriaInThePark · 26/07/2019 15:26

I think you'd be setting them up for a life of ridicule

Yeah. I kinda gussed the rea tion woyld be thus. For clarification these are not my children's names. I am far too boring and conservative. But I did think they were rather fabulous names I'll admit. I love a bit of hippie woo!

twattymctwatterson · 26/07/2019 15:24

I'd think the parent were trying really hard to cultivate a certain image

Cathyheathcliff · 26/07/2019 15:23

I'd also think best case their parents are hippys worse case scenario they were born in a cult lol

LauraMipsum · 26/07/2019 15:22

Meadow, Pixie, Fawn and Clover are fine. Raven I'm not so keen on, "pixie spirit" together is a bit Hmm given that pixies are meant to be little gits, and Fable Moon is terrible.

I've heard worse though.

museumsandgalleries666 · 26/07/2019 15:19

Are you naming children or cattle?

pelirocco123 · 26/07/2019 15:16

Naming child because they are a fashion accessory springs to mind
