Thoughts on the name ‘Cherry’?

I knew a Cherry at school, I like it. Someone I know called Cheryl also goes by Cherry as her nickname.

Yeah definitely don’t opt for Cheryl as an alternative! I’d also steer clear of Cherry too, sorry! Just sounds a bit rough to me.

Went to school with a Cherry Brakewell. Always made me laugh!

Omg

My best friend since school is called Cherry as is one of my daughter’s friends Nana’s. It’s a lovely name 😊

Cute and I know an adult Cherry and it suits her (quirky, likes retro 50’s style, although it’s a nickname for her). But yes, just like Virginia and even Mary, I think you are likely going to risk teasing in the teenage years as the virgin jokes are obvious.

No, I really don’t like it, sorry.

I really like it. I know one Cherry who is almost 60 and another who is 2. Both lovely.

Pianoaholic · 30/08/2025 20:30

What about Cheryl? It's similar enough.

Mrsmunchofmunchington · 30/08/2025 20:28

Lovely name.
I knew a Cherry who trained as a nurse at the same time as me.

EchoedSilence · 30/08/2025 20:28

I love it.

crappycrapcrap · 30/08/2025 20:26

It’s a nice name not my favourite but I wouldn’t be shocked by it

mum2jakie · 30/08/2025 20:22

There's a character in Liane Moriarty's latest novel called Cherry. I like it.

WellBing · 30/08/2025 20:19

I think it's lovely. Baby names are never going to appease everyone. You go with what you like 🥰 xx
