I rather like the name Cadence, but my DP assures me it’s... er... sort of the opposite of posh. Is it?

It's the name of the contact lens solution I use!

TenThousandSpoons0 · 30/04/2020 23:05

I like it, definitely a name, way better than Constance/prudence variations

MovingBriskyOn · 30/04/2020 23:02

I think I just like the -ity s Grin

If I got pregnant right now I'd call dibs on Obscenity.

But I'd hope for triplets so I could also have an Obesity and a Profanity

Reminds me of a valley girl who's trying to get into Phi Beta Delta sorority at a college in Iowa.

@Orphlids Abso’frickin lutely. Grin

DH says if we can get an @ in there, even better...

If you'd asked me 20 years ago I might have said it was a nice name. But in the present day it just makes me think of Jayden/Kayden (i.e. the chavviest names in the world). If Coleen and Wayne Rooney ever have a baby girl this is probably what they'll call her.

@mamansnet, I’m assuming you’d like something with a superfluous apostrophe popped in it somewhere?

OP you may find this is interest. The number of girls in England and Wales named Cadence since 1996.

There's one in Shallow Hal- a kid on the burns ward is called Cadence, I believe. I'd never heard the name before and it really stuck with me for some reason.

mamansnet · 30/04/2020 18:34

Just realised I totally need to ask you for help naming my DD in summer. She'll most likely be the last child, perhaps I should call her Coda?

PotterHarryWitch · 30/04/2020 18:33

I love this name, I think it has a lovely ring to it.

TheFaerieQueene · 30/04/2020 18:33

Dence or perhaps Dense to her friends. 🤣

Stinkyjellycat · 30/04/2020 18:32

Yes, English.

notacooldad · 30/04/2020 18:31

I know a lovely teenage Cadence, Cady for short, never been picked on for name and not chavvy at all
The two I know never have their name shortened. Its always the full name even by their close friends.

IdblowJonSnow · 30/04/2020 18:30

Not keen.

Poodles03 · 30/04/2020 18:28

I like it if it's spelled Kaaydentz. Funniest thing I've seen in weeks.

In all seriousness, I do really like Cadence. When I heard it, I assumed it would be favoured by musicians etc, so was surprised when DP said he thought otherwise.

Decadence and Obscenity would be a good reply to the 'Help - we need names for our twins' sort of question, eh OP?
nn Dex and Sen.
You've got to have a nn; it's a Mumsnet rule.

Baby Names section of Mumsnet is one of the funniest places ever to visit online

Agreed. The Times birth announcements come a close second though.

redwoodmazza · 30/04/2020 18:08

My car has cadence braking!!!

Wannabangbang · 30/04/2020 18:04

I love the name Cadence, it's my dd middle name, wish I'd been brave enough to use as a first name

Poodles03 · 30/04/2020 18:03

Orphlids - I did at first but I've caught up now! Grin

You can see why I did, though, the Baby Names section of Mumsnet is one of the funniest places ever to visit online, all these twee morons genuinely thinking they've come up with something unique and exotic while everyone else is trying not to piss themselves laughing.
