What do we think of Saffron for a baby with mixed English and Arab heritage? Too Ab Fab still?

I would like Yasmin but DH isn’t keen.

Saffron is a lovely name.

And her first dance at her wedding will have to be "I'm just mad about Saffron" . Lovely name, lovely spice. She'll live in Saffron Walden and name her daughter Crocus.

It’s fine. I’m not mad on it - too kitchen-y, but nothing wrong with it.

Thank you all!

I love it but I was worried it was too out there. You’ve reassured me 😀.

Love it. Didn’t think of Ab Fab at all when I saw the title, plus this association will lessen over time

I think Saffron is a lovely name

ZeldaWillTellYourFortune · 22/01/2023 14:24

I like Yasmin better. Persis is cool too.

Beautiful name

I love it, my daughter has a similar name and it is shortened to 'saggy' which I love.

Saffy not saggy Confused

It’s a nice name but expect it to be shortened to Saff by friends.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 22/01/2023 13:15

Vey nice but too Ab Fab for me.

Oddly enough just before I saw this thread, I was just thinking about the name Persis which I really like, and would suit British/Arab heritage.

Rawrrawr1 · 22/01/2023 13:09

It was on my girls list, I love it

Toomanybirthdays · 22/01/2023 13:05

Absolutely lovely.

Barleysugar86 · 22/01/2023 12:49

I love it. And Saffie is cute as a nickname.

HikingforScenery · 22/01/2023 12:48

SoupAndSodaBread · 22/01/2023 11:16

I like it. I've overheard a child being called this recently and thought it was nice

cravingtoblerone · 22/01/2023 11:15

I love it.

LulooLemon · 21/01/2023 23:52

I like it

thailandorbust · 21/01/2023 23:37

I love it and was on my list but my friend got there before me! She is now a lovely teenager but calls herself Saffi

DaisyCornflowerBlue · 21/01/2023 23:17

I like it. Needs a revival.

snowtrees · 21/01/2023 23:15

I love it. Had a friend at school called that. She was lovely. If I'd not had a boy I'd have loved it. Strong name too

Love
