Page 21 | Venus, Story, Ember or Apricot?

Spaghetti0h · 2022-03-11T10:54:40+00:00

Venus, Story, Ember or Apricot? I've narrowed my name list down to these. I want something a little different to the top 20 names if possible. Middle name would be Jean. Which is your favourite in order please or what do you think? Tysm for the help x

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Do you WANT your child to be bullied. Ffs OP she will one day have to apply for a job with this name. Any CV coming across my desk with a name like that would be immediately assumed to be a prank and binned.

Peaches is a god awful name too. Celebrities pick some appalling names for their poor children. Give the poor child a proper name, not a random word that you just happen to think is a nice word.

The least ridiculous of them is Ember but that isn't saying much considering the competition.

20viona · 11/03/2022 11:48

I love ember, hate the others.

Smidgy · 11/03/2022 11:48

I can just about get on board with Ember but the others are just odd.

Just so you know, OP, there is something in between the top 20 names and the bizarre concoction of names you're thinking of 🤣

Please think about the implications this may have on your daughter calling her something stupid - especially after a razor or a piece of fruit

Some countries physically don't allow people to register ridiculous names they should make it law here!! [/quote]
France doesn't, and yet I had a French friend called Framboise. Not sure how her parents got that one past the law.

Hangthetowels · 11/03/2022 11:47

...is there a second list 🙈 honestly I wouldn't name a child any of those... They will live with this forever, who cares about the top 20!

Dumbledoressister · 11/03/2022 11:46

@Spaghetti0h

Of course I don't want my child to get bullied ... I've never known anyone with these names so hadn't thought of it that way. Thank you to the people who've been nice x

With the best will in the world, you don't know anyone with these names because (apart from Venus) they're not names, they're things.

gingerhills · 11/03/2022 11:46

I hate Story. I beg you not to call her that.
Apricot is OK. I don't like it personally but there's a growing trend of fruit names for little girls - Peaches, Clementine, Apple etc.
Venus? K...
Ember sounds nice but it's a burnt out coal. So, why?

Seren is actually a Welsh name, Steren is our equivalent down in Cornwall. Lowena is one of my all time favourite names.

@ChardonnaysPetDragon

I now want a short animated film about this. Venus is the raddled, experienced older mother hen (puppy) stripper, Apricot is the naive youngster just starting out, angst-ridden nerd stripper puppy Story secretly yearns to go to university, and Ember is the one with the big throaty bark who saves the club by turning it into a cabaret that takes in waifs and strays.

I can see it being produced by Netflix. A bit like Glow, but with puppies and in a strip club.

And there’s the elevator pitch!

badg3r · 11/03/2022 11:41

Whatever you pick, if it is a bit out there then practise introducing your kid before she is born. I met a mum once who named her daughter autumn. I like the name actually but she was obviously so uncomfortable with the name when she introduced her then three year old to me. She said something like "that's my daughter autumn but she wasn't born in autumn she was born in March, we just liked the name..." I felt really sorry for her.

Sort of like an adults paw patrol movie!!!

Blimey, are you not going to like your child!😮

Aw that's not nice 😭
Sorry, it was meant to be light hearted to those names which are a bit " out there"

MissCarolina · 11/03/2022 11:40

I like Ember the most. Cherry is quite nice too and Bronte.

I like Story and Ember, but think only Ember even vaguely goes with Jean.

fancyfrogs · 11/03/2022 11:39

I like ember. Apricot has to be a definite no!

YukoandHiro · 11/03/2022 11:39

@TonyChestnut 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mrsfenchurch · 11/03/2022 11:38

@Spaghetti0h

Any suggestions then please?

What about names like: Willow Indigo nn Indi Wren Dusty Bluebell Beatrix nn Trixie Chloe nn Coco Pixie Seren Merryn Zennor

Lowenna (the last 4 are all Cornish names)

DPotter · 11/03/2022 11:37

So none of the 4 names appeals at all - none of them are girls' names. I like Cherry, I know a Cherry, she's lovely but she does get annoyed when people call her Cherie, with a pseudo french accent. Cherry also doesn't work too well with jean - Cherry Jean. Say it out loud , difficult to get your tongue around.

If you're sticking with Jean...how about Norma Jean ?

YukoandHiro · 11/03/2022 11:36

Peaches, Apricot, Apple etc - please only do this If you can afford to send your daughter to one of the top 5 most expensive private schools in the country.

Anywhere else that child is going to be absolutely ripped to shreds and loathe you for it

NotMyselfWithoutCoffee · 11/03/2022 11:36

Peaches... jesus christ what happened to calling your child something normal like Emily or Bethan.

TonyChestnut · 11/03/2022 11:34

I'm assuming you don't want to give your child a more traditional name.

How about:
Elbow,
Swarfega,
Nantwich, or
Abcess?
