Nope. Bluntly - awful.

And I actually quite like 'unfeminine' sounding names for girls.

But I just don't think Healy sounds good.

And the other version sounds like Haile as in Selassie, and will cause endless spelling and pronounciation problems.

No, doesn't look or sound attractive.

I know a Heli, which is apparently a scandinavian name and pronounced to rhyme with jelly. Not that that necessarily recommends it.

Solo, I know its called a hickey. But I thought it was also called a Healey.

I love Healey for a girl would it be ok to pinch it if dc3 is a girl?

Don't like it.

imo, it's likely to be the sibling of Tiffany, Chardonay and Romeo. It just gives me that mental image. iyswim.

Yuck. Don't inflict that on a child.

EyeballsintheSky · 12/07/2008 09:51

So that's a no then?

Sorry not my cup of tetley

Did somebody suggest HIckey instead?! Ha ha. They're similar.

Dennis Healey. Mike Yarwood. "Silly Billy".

I'm sorry neither of those are names except for the roller skate shoe type thing.
