I'm 10weeks pregnant so too early really with no.3 to be thinking sbout names but dh and I are already disagreeing!

He suggested Zak which I love but then said he would like Zaky. I do not like Zaky.

Also I suggested Mimi for a girl which he says sounds stupid amoung other things.

Help us resolve the argument!

Ilovemyflipflops I like Zaky as a nickname to be known as forever but I can't imagine it as his only name. The honourable judge Zaky......I said this dh who said well none of my kids are going to be judges are they? hmph.

Well we have an Isaac and we call him Zacky for short so ar$eholes to the lot of you who don't like it i think your dh has wonderful taste It was actually more by accident than thinking that's what we'll call him. My dd was 19 months when he was born and the first time she said his name she said Zacky (then forever more called him Isaac) but it just sounded so cute when she said it it's just stuck with us. But i will agree with others i like it just as a nickname not as the name on the birth certificate.

I like Zac ( short for Isaac) but dont like Mimi

Zak is dutch for pocket.

A friend of mine decided she wanted to be called Mimosa while she was a teenager, Mimi or Mim for short.

Nigella Lawson's daughter is called Cosima which they shorten to Mimi. I quite like that......
or you could call her:
Camilla (Mimi)
Amelia (Mimi)

zak is ok. my friend is maria we call her mimi - beautiful.

Nancy66 · 02/11/2008 22:02

I like Mimi - my niece is know as that (also her name is Amelia)

Zaky would be a no-no for me.

Mee-mee not 100% on mimi myself yet but it a shortening of my name and I like the idea of carrying something on...mind you I am also quite hormonal and fell into a fit of rage last night when our takeaway pizza came with the wrong dip

Zaky - is that to rhyme with Jackie or Flakey? It looks as if it should rhyme with Flakey. Not good

I quite like Mimi. Do you pronounce it Mim-ee or Mee-mee?

ANO - Zacharius?

findtheriver · 02/11/2008 21:55

Sorry don't care for either. They sound silly, not real names.

NotanOtter · 02/11/2008 21:52

I have always been known as one of those names

Hmmmm any guesses what my full name is?

violetsareblue · 02/11/2008 21:51

Mumof2andabit - What are your other children's names? We can then all suggest names for no. 3!

Dragonbutter · 02/11/2008 21:51

i personally don't like either.
zaky and mimi are not good choices.
it's a good job you've got lots of time to make your mind up.

BlackEyedDog · 02/11/2008 21:50

I like Mimi

not keen on Zak/Zaky

clairebear88 · 02/11/2008 21:50

quite like Zac but not Zaky. I have also heard a few women call their neather regions their mimi

congrats though

Lonnie · 02/11/2008 21:49

Dont care for Zaky like Zak but also like Hulababy prefeer the full version of the name

I dont like mimi but I have REALLY bad associations with that name (imagine the most spoilt horrid child you can then triple it and your about where this child is hence for me it is a huge nono

Cheesesarnie · 02/11/2008 21:49

i love mimi but not keen on zak.what are your dh suggestions?

violetsareblue · 02/11/2008 21:48

Agree with Hulababy, full version for birth certificate, then you could use Zack or Zach. Same with Mimi, only like it as a nn for, say, Amelia.

asdmumandteacher · 02/11/2008 21:48

I agree with Hulababy
