What do you htink of the name Thisbe?
I used to know one 20 years ago and have often thought about it, now it has a bit of meaning to after a rather eventful night out when dh and i went to the theatre to see A Midsummer Nights Dream!
Does it go with Iris, Eli, Pearl and Amos.
I think i am really liking it and i think Thisbe Jean is lovely.
Opinions please!

Ignore all these philistines(!) I actually know a Thisbe and think it is a gorgeous name for a lovely girl. Be brave!

SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore · 03/04/2009 13:26

Is it a boys name or a girls? Either way, she/he will get the piss took out of her/him and will be renamed Frisbee, but if you are okay with that, go for it.

How about rounderth instead?

Kathyis6incheshigh · 03/04/2009 13:26

If you liked Midsummer Night's Dream, why not Bottom?

What's a 'bean' Aunty Lulu?? Or are you going to bean your aunty??

LetThemEatCake · 03/04/2009 13:25

really pretty

but I don't like the middle name sorry. Too, um, bland and dull with such a pretty first name. Something like, I dunno, Isobel, would be better IMO

purpleduck · 03/04/2009 13:24

no , don't

really.

LuluisgoingtobeanAunty · 03/04/2009 13:24

only if you have a pyramis already.

IheartEASTEREGGS · 03/04/2009 13:24

Sounds like someone saying 'frisbee' but with a speech impediment.
Nowhere near as nice as your other childrens names imo

girlandboyWantsMoreEasterEggs · 03/04/2009 13:24

How do you say it?

Is it pronounced as "this" with a hissy "s" or does it rhyme with frisbee???

Or is the beginning the same sound as in "thin"??

Yes, 'frisbee' with a TH instead of a fr.

Thisbe a joke, no?

IheartEASTEREGGS · 03/04/2009 13:22
