My younger cousin recently gave birth to a baby girl with bright green eyes. She's thinking of naming the baby with something related to green color.
She is asking me for an advise.
What do you guys suggest?

Babies eye colour is likely to change op, bad idea!

DD's green eyes changed slowly to brown over her first year. She finds it quite weird looking at baby photos.

Well, I wouldn't name a person because of the colour of their eyes at birth (which might change). Even if they don't change, who wants to be names after the colour of their eyes ? Confused
Have the parents thought through that one day this person will be a teenager, or a 43 year old ?

The same name as any blue or brown eyed child. I met a little girl called Sapphire because of her gorgeous blue eyes, but she'll be in her 20's now and probably wishes she had a "normal" name.

Both my kids had green eyes at birth and still have green eyes now.

Got to be Jolene surely Grin

I'm surprised a baby has been born with green eyes. Be warned they could change at this age.

Yes I'm assuming they will change but if not Jolene obviously 😀 or Jade

You know that they are likely to change??

Beenquee · 27/05/2024 19:33

Esmerelda
Babies’ eyes change - I would go for a name she likes for itself …
