This is a girl's name, means fog in an indigenous language from Mexico (Tarahumara). I am really fond of it at the moment and want to run it through DH but want to come up with some middle names before that.

I am thinking I will probably have to stay on track with some popular middle names so as to balance it out.

Bimori Rose

Another option is Soona which means moon in another language from the country.

Am I too crazy for considering these names? Should I stick to more normal names to avoid future trouble to my DC? I go back and forth between names that have nothing to do with each other!

Huh, tough one. On the one hand honoring the baby's heritage is great, on the other those are not easy names to bear in the UK if that's where you live.

Would an option be two names with similar meanings - for instance, Selena Soona ? Both mean Moon. She still gets the heritage but it's easier for her in everyday life ?

Alternatively, are there other names you lile from those languages that would be easier to use in the UK ?

I’m sorry, but it doesn’t sound pleasant. Maybe it does if you have a Mexican accent, but it sounds clumsy with an English accent. The meaning of fog behind it doesn’t add to its allure either!

Oh here we go. If it's not Top Ten English Names out come the piss takers.

I think you can use a Mexican name. And the people taking the piss are being slightly racist. Do none of you know anyone with non English names?

I like Soona the best.

RaininSummer · 16/05/2020 21:25

I like it. If you didn't have Mexican heritage it would be odd but not the case.

Reminds me of Ballamory.

It's a no from me.

A quick google of Bimori name, brings up this thread as the top result (started less than 10 minutes ago)

I would use it as a middle name. I don't think it's fair for a child to have a name so unique, that it makes them instantly identifiable.

Forgot to state that I do have Mexican heritage as I'm full Mexican, DH is not. I was born and raised there just from a different region that these names are from.

I think the same as MrsRogerLima

What's the story in Bimori wouldn't you like to know?

ofwarren · 16/05/2020 21:08

Do you have Mexican heritage? It's strange if not.

Do have have Mexican ancestry that you are trying to honour? If so, Soona sounds a bit more acceptable than Bimori (which is very “out there”). But it does sound like “Sooner”. I’m sorry but I don’t really like either and I’d feel quite sorry for the child.

Do you speak this language/ have connections to Mexico?
