Do you like the name Seven for a girl?

My husband and I are curious as to how the first name Seven would be for a girl. The number is significant to us biblically and means the number of completeness, as she will be completing our family. There are many other reasons behind Seven.

Is it too out there, or is it cool?

Thanks for any input! Smile

If she’s called Teal then her whole life will be “Teal, as in the colour?”

bettybattenburg · 30/12/2019 11:38

How about Seren as an alternative ?

CareOfPunts · 30/12/2019 11:37

Jeez, you have awful taste in names. Gemma is ok but a bit 80s-tastic. Teal and Seven are ludicrous. Out of all the lovely names out there, are these really the best you can come up with?

Mamabear88 · 30/12/2019 11:37

Just seen your update. Teal is dreadful too. Gemma is nice, go with that. At least it is a normal and pretty name and not overused.

I went to school with a boy named Seven. He wasn’t bullied and no one batted an eyelid. It’s just a name. He’s never had any trouble filling out forms or opening bank accounts either.

TruthOnTrial · 30/12/2019 11:35

Omg this is actually serious!

I don't think parents have rights to give children ridiculous names atall. They are thinking about themselves and not the poor children fgs.

You don't have to call your child seven just because your family is finished, its really not a valid reason for a name, I mean many babies are unintended pregnancies, what then, name the next one 'oh unfinished'

No, sorry, poor reason for giving a baby a number rather than a name.

Doesn’t Reece Mogg have a septimus?

Lweji · 30/12/2019 11:34

Or Neves. Like Neve Campbell but plural.
Still seven, but in reverse...

Lweji · 30/12/2019 11:32

The Romans sometimes used to number their children. Literally, Prima, Secunda, Tercia... Septima. Does that appeal to you?

Mamabear88 · 30/12/2019 11:31

Awful. If you must use it, i'd go with middle name not first.

AlexaShutUp · 30/12/2019 11:31

Not cool at all, I'm afraid. It sounds dreadful.

GoGoLego · 30/12/2019 11:30

Sorry imagine her name the one the school register say and the teacher shouting her name out Len goodman SCD style. Afraid it's a no from me

Lordfrontpaw · 30/12/2019 11:29

Why ‘seven’ and not ‘7’?

Drum2018 · 30/12/2019 11:28

No, Seven would sound ridiculous as a name.

Itsigginingtolookalotlikexmas · 30/12/2019 11:27

It's not nice heading a name you like being ridiculed on mumsnet. BUT it is what people in RL would be thinking but not saying, so probably better to know?

inmyshoos · 30/12/2019 11:26

I quite like it. Probably because it sounds like 11 and I loved Stranger Things. Your child op. Your choice. I like it!

MaryPopppins · 30/12/2019 11:26

It's a no for me. Makes her sound like an experiment.

sandybanana · 30/12/2019 11:22

Nope

PsychosonicCindy · 30/12/2019 11:21

I think seven is ok as a middle name if it's important to you middle names aren't used that often so why not?
Teal really nice! Love Abney & Teal she is cool and wish I lived on that island! Also like pps suggestion of Teasel. Teal would fit right in at my dds primary school such an unusual array of names there!
I don't think Gemma is outdated at all I know two under 10! One spells it Jemma though which I prefer. How is Gemma not good yet Jemima is MN favourite??

MistletoeSteveMcDonald · 30/12/2019 11:20

Could be worse, could be 69 (with a middle name of dude). OP hopefully once you've had her you will look back at your choices and be relieved you went with a proper name and not a number or a colour.

fluffiphlox · 30/12/2019 11:06

“42”.

WeirdPookah · 30/12/2019 11:06

Eleven's and Eight's sister from the experiments in Stranger Things?

Shelby2010 · 30/12/2019 11:03

Gemma is nice. Go with Gemma.

Mlou32 · 30/12/2019 10:47

Oh no. What happened to lovely traditional names?

Goatinthegarden · 30/12/2019 10:42

Trying to read George’s Marvellous Medicine to a class of 6 year olds when you have a child named George in the class is painful enough. They just find it SO unbelievably funny when there is a character with the same name as a classmate.

I can only imagine how excruciating it would be to teach maths with a child named Seven in the class.
