I think it’s rather pretty

Ellmau · 27/06/2021 12:17

I think it's lovely.

I used to know a Jonquil. (And yes, female.)

TheVanguardSix · 27/06/2021 12:17

It is positively awful.

Jonquil Cholmondeley-Farquarson likes hockey and lashings of bread and honey in the dorm after prep.

Oops, just googled it and it's a girl's name. Sorry. I really thought it was a boy's name.

Reminds me of old fashioned boarding school stories. I'm sure it's one of the flower names that used to appear in them, like Primrose.

Sounds like a drug.

Mummyof2andapig · 27/06/2021 12:12

@BalladOfBarryAndFreda I think it’s a girls name

Mpsister · 27/06/2021 12:12

Boys' name. I'm familiar with the name, but I really don't like it.

Violetlavenders · 27/06/2021 12:12

It's a boy's name I assumed

FelicityPike · 27/06/2021 12:09

No. Sounds (although I know it isn’t) like one of those Americanised made-up “yoonique” names.

Verbena87 · 27/06/2021 12:07

Too much for me but so are some much more common names and I quickly get over myself when teaching and see the person rather than my prejudice so if you love it, why not.

It's a fecking daffodil. Behave.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep · 27/06/2021 12:02

Far too much

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 27/06/2021 12:02

For a girl, I assume?

I’m not keen.
