Just love this for baby girl. Don’t know what I’m having... 35 weeks today. Boy’s name sorted. Thoughts?

Senna Rose is my favourite.

Be honest but not too brutal!

I once said on a thread here that, if I was evil, I'd suggest Melaena as a lovely name for a girl.

Turns out I am evil.

Have you considered Melaena?

(PS Don't! Even though it may provoke less mockery than Senna)

Just no! Senokot is for constipation and the active ingredient is senna. Don’t inflict years of bullying onto your child.

Previous poster - Seren, that's nice

Canadianstamp · 29/08/2019 21:38

Seren is gorgeous.

TypicalMeBreakMyTypicalRules · 29/08/2019 21:38

Serena is fab.
Senna is a laxative and is ludicrous

I know an Enna.

ILikTheBred · 29/08/2019 21:34

Seraphina

Canadianstamp · 29/08/2019 21:30

Do you mean Sienna?

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 29/08/2019 21:29

I prefer Sienna.

Sophronia · 29/08/2019 21:28

How about Sennen instead, like the beach/village in Cornwall? Or Senara, a Cornish saint’s name?

Lobsterquadrille2 · 29/08/2019 21:27

Serena is lovely - or Silvia. How about Xanthe?

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 29/08/2019 21:22

Serena is lovely. Either pronunciation.
Se-REH-na or Se-REE-na.
I worked with an Italian lady who pronounced it the first way and i loved how it sounded.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 29/08/2019 21:21

Cassia is a type of cinnamon isnt it? I get it in my chinese herbal soup mixes. Ive got a feeling thats got a laxative action too sorry 🙈. At least you will have a funny story to tell her. I nearly named you after a laxative 😂.
What about Cassie or Casey?

Laska2Meryls · 29/08/2019 21:16

My Danish niece is Sanne - pronounced Sanna
How about that instead?

TheJoxter · 29/08/2019 21:16

I used to know a girl called Sennen, sounds very similar

I'd think Ayrton or you were a Hunger Games fan and meant Cinna.

joystir59 · 29/08/2019 21:03

How about Enema? Bulimia? Eva-cuation? Bowel? Colon? Ex-Lax?

DoctorTwo · 29/08/2019 21:00

There's a young man called Senna Proctor who drives in the support races at the BTCC. Another is called Lando. I think Senna is a perfectly acceptable name for a child.

percheron67 · 29/08/2019 20:08

Senna pods.

Frith2013 · 29/08/2019 20:01

Surely this is a wind up?

Ex-lax for a middle name.

AverageMummy · 29/08/2019 18:33

Tablets to make you poo no sorry OP!
Serena is unusual and pretty ?
