Thoughts on the name Wednesday? Always liked it personally from the old adams family movie but dh seems to think it will become more of a 'trend' name with the new netflix show out. Opinions?

It's going to be shortened to Wends, if you like this well okay

It will definitely become a bit of a trend with the popularity of the new Wednesday show.

It's dreadful

Love it

Nicole Kidman has a daughter called Sunday. Re query why one days the week aren’t used?

Crazykefir · 30/11/2022 18:47

No. Met a few tuesdays and Sundays. I'm guessing they were born on Tuesday or sunday?

BCBird · 30/11/2022 18:44

Please no

Quveas · 30/11/2022 18:42

No. Just that.

RandomMusings7 · 30/11/2022 18:41

God no... It would be cruel!

Babies are separate human beings, not vessels for you to express how creative abd yooonique you are.

There were a family at a school I taught at with kids called Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Two were siblings, one was a cousin. One was a boy but I can't remember which!

I love the name and would gladly use it if it wasn't for the fact that kids (and unfortunately adults) can be incredibly mean and the child would be the one to suffer.

MelchiorsMistress · 30/11/2022 17:58

Awful

Addams family
plus
“Wednesday’s child is full of woe
Thursday’s child has far to go “

Part of an old nursery rhyme , so no from me
setting the kid up to fail

I can already hear the other kids at school whistling the Addams family theme tune and clicking their fingers 🙈

EmilyGilmoresSass · 30/11/2022 17:46

The fact the new show specifically about Wednesday Addams on Netflix makes it even more tacky, but no doubt will somehow make it a popular name over the next year. Only way it could be worse would be to change the spelling to something like Wydnezdae

Why are Tuesday and Wednesday the only day names that people ever use?

Why not Saturday - nickname 'Turd' ?!

getoutof · 30/11/2022 17:45

I think it's beautiful but not something I would dare use. But I love it!!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 30/11/2022 17:45

You'd be saving her an awful lot of heartache in life if you just called her Wendy instead.

IHeartGeneHunt · 30/11/2022 17:44

I knew a Tuesday at school, it's no worse than that.

Unsureofitall · 30/11/2022 17:44

I like it tbh

xJ0y · 30/11/2022 17:42

I like it but not if she's likely to have dark hair.
It reminds me of Lindsay tbh

I PREFER Lindsay

crabbyoldbat · 30/11/2022 17:41

Fine if the child isn't born on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday

DeadButDelicious · 30/11/2022 17:36

I really, really, really wanted to use Wednesday for my DD. My brother was absolutely convinced that we were going to use it but sadly DH vetoed it. The spoilsport.

I think it's a lovely name. We need more Wednesdays!

Winterfellismyhome · 30/11/2022 17:34

My cat is called Wednesday

PortiasBiscuit · 30/11/2022 17:33

I prefer it with a capital letter..
