Too out there? Or just ridiculous? Grin

I've started liking this name for a girl.

Kit and Kat would be genius for boy/girl twins, though (Christopher and Catherine) Grin

Curse you, OP. I want some Revels now. Grin They were fantastic. (Do they still exist? I'm not in the UK).

If you want a name associated with the meaning of joy and celebration, how about Felicity, Natalia (birthday/Christmas), Laetitia, or just simply Joy?

To be honest I did think " right. Ok........" when I was told of my colleague's kids name but it very quickly grew on me and it's really nice. It suits her in a good way and the child is in high school now. She is lovely ( I know her name hasnt got anything to do with her personality) There hasn't been any mockery from kids. To be fair I think kids are more accepting of names, its adults that are sneary.
There are worse names out there and if you like it why not?
I would consider it if I was having a child.

It's mad.

about 11 years ago a colleague had a daughter who they called Revel. There were quite a few comments around the office that's wasn't flattering when he said what the baby was to be called.

Personally, I'm neutral about the name.

How about Ravel? That similar but not a sweet.
Maybe Bolero as a middle name?

Kit-Kat?

Windydaysuponus · 22/10/2019 09:45

No, OP.
