The name Swan for a baby girl AIBU

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hallyup6 · 28/06/2021 19:01

FFS. Don't be stupid.

Palmatree · 28/06/2021 19:00

Nope, I wouldn't. Although to be fair, I'm not actually sure why it's any more ridiculous than calling your child Wren, Lark, Robin etc., all of which seem to be pretty trendy names at the moment. Maybe use as a middle name?

EleanorOlephantisjustfine · 28/06/2021 19:00

Utterly ridiculous. Please don’t do this to your child.

SmidgenofaPigeon · 28/06/2021 19:00

If she’s a quiet child you can refer to her as Mute Swan

'This is Swan'

'This is one what?'

I mean I have heard kids given odd names like that but in areas where the baby bottle holder on the buggy is used for mums can of Stella Artois at 10am.

ILoveShula · 28/06/2021 18:56

Ava is the same as Eve, isn't it, and nothing to do with birds.

Swan isn't a girl's name.

PattyPan · 28/06/2021 18:55

Truly terrible. You’re naming an actual human being who had to bear that name for their whole life.

Wolf is also terrible, but swan is worse.

when I was pg with DC5 our kids decided baby should be called Yoda.
Yoda Shark for a boy
Yoda Yogurt for a girl.

I repeated that story so many times they didn't even sound strange by the end.

Fluffycloudland77 · 28/06/2021 18:55

I really think you shouldn’t be able to register baby names until their at least 6 months old.

It’s not a nice name.

Beetlewing · 28/06/2021 18:55

Love it. If Wren is ok why not Swan?

Mamanyt · 28/06/2021 18:54

I like it as a middle name. But do pick something with three syllables for a first name, it will flow better. And if she decides she LOVES "Swan," she can go by her middle name. My younger son does.

SirenSays · 28/06/2021 18:54

It's definitely unusual, I read a book about a grisly old PI named Swan. It's the only time I've seen it as a name.
Please don't name a child Wolf. We had one in my year at school and he was so weird, like he felt he had to be extra "quirky" to live up to his bizarre name.

Seesawmummadaw · 28/06/2021 18:53

Why op? You know it’s probably your hormones which will settle down.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 28/06/2021 18:52

@MordredsOrrery

From the thread title I thought you were asking about buying a swan as a gift for a baby girl, which I thought was a pretty unreasonable idea. Having read your OP I think giving her a swan is actually the less unreasonable idea.

@MordredsOrrery

I thought the same.
but I didn't think anyone can buy a swan, aren't they all protected and belong to the Queen?

and agree with you. buying one would be fine

Seesawmummadaw · 28/06/2021 18:51

@Toebean

Is your surname lake?

Awful, just awful, up there with Bunny.

Noooo! I love Bunny (luckily not having any more children)

pinkhousesarebest · 28/06/2021 18:51

I had a Swan in my class many years ago. She was actually swan like, which helped.

Thedogscollar · 28/06/2021 18:48

Can you let me know what about a baby could or ever would suit the name Wolf?
Unless he grows up to be a gladiator (old tv show from the 80's) then it's a bloody awful name for a baby.

Eviethyme · 28/06/2021 18:46

Her name isn't Swan. They call her Swan, you can be nicknames big dick Danny but doesn't mean your going to change your name to it.

Just no.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 28/06/2021 18:44

go for it, but don't be surprised if at first she looks like an ugly duckling

FlosCampi · 28/06/2021 18:44

I thought at first you were trying to buy a Swan for a baby girl! It's no more ridiculous than Wren, Ivy, Ruby etc. We aren't accustomed to disassociate it with the vocabulary word yet, that's all. We call children Scarlet, Blue, Grey, but not Yellow. Other languages have White as a first name, but we don't. As someone with two flower named children, it's interesting what goes and what doesn't. I know a baby Wolf, and it suits him, why not Swan?

Kanaloa · 28/06/2021 18:43

It could make an interesting and fun middle name. Wouldn’t use it for a first name, it would be embarrassing to introduce yourself as Swan.

Palavah · 28/06/2021 18:42

@RainRainGoAway12

I was at the park the other day and there was a boy called Snow. Not what you asked but I was a bit

at that name too.

I think if you are a celebrity, crack on. If you’re a mere mortal, maybe just use it as a middle name.

Snow, like the one-hit wonder white rapper from the 90s?!
