Savannah.

Husband is totally set. It isn’t a name I have ever really come across and is very different to anything I’d normally pick.

I am so on the fence as to wether I love or hate?

Love it

Loli2 · 13/02/2020 23:38

I know a couple with two kids Noah and Farrah

I really like it OP, we are having a girl too and we've no idea what to call her, love this, don't think I've met anyone/know of anyone with the name xx

Electrical · 13/02/2020 11:21

mike ‘is the initial S sounded as Ch?’ 😂😂😂😂
That’d be brilliant, call her that, op!

Erin, Katie and Elise are all lovely, especially Erin. And tbh Savannah seems a bit incongruous alongside your other names.

CatteStreet · 13/02/2020 09:21

To me, it's not a name, it's a geographical term. Like calling a child Tundra or Steppe.

I think it'll date, too - it'll be to the 2000s and 2010s what Sharon and Tracy were to the 1960s and 70s.

As a name, it is nice but in reality it will be Sav, hence my earlier post.
Susannah is so much nicer.

BobbyBlueCat · 13/02/2020 06:39

Chavvy

Skyejuly · 13/02/2020 06:33

Wrong thread!

addictedtotheflats · 13/02/2020 06:33

Sounds a bit chavvy to me

Nope. Maybe if you have African ties but I just find it weird otherwise

HaveAtEm · 13/02/2020 06:21

I came on to say it sounds like a stripper name...but see that PPs have already got there. To me, it sounds cheap and tacky. Sorry OP.

NoSauce · 13/02/2020 06:10

Nope.

Crookshanksthecat · 12/02/2020 20:05

Not a huge fan but prefer Savannah to your other choices.

Nowayorhighway · 12/02/2020 16:34

It’s a stripper name.

MikeUniformMike · 12/02/2020 13:20

Genevieve should be a nice name but it seems frumpy and burdensome.
I think it sounds ok in French, but so do most french names. I don't like Amelie, Elodie and Gisele - pretty written down and in french but not in a uk accent.

Whatsyourflava · 12/02/2020 12:44

Genevieve is a name I irrationally completely detest 🤣 @MrsXx4 I know it’s weird, I just hate it

user1493494961 · 12/02/2020 12:03

Don't really like Savannah but not keen on your names either. Like Katherine shortened to Kate/Katie.

FeedMeChoc · 12/02/2020 10:57

Pretty

Maeva is a french name.

I used to be totally set on Genevieve but we had a boy and in that time I’ve kind of gone off it now.

Pippilangstrumpfi · 12/02/2020 10:39

I don't like Savannah

GoodnightJude1 · 12/02/2020 10:35

I love it! Visited Savannah (GA) many times and love the place, so probably why!

Samhradh · 12/02/2020 10:33

I've never heard 'Maeva' in my life. What is its origins?

saraclara · 12/02/2020 09:50

I can't bear Savannah, sorry. Really really tacky.
