Nigella - would you?

Would anyone actually call their baby girl Nigella? Surely no other name says "oops we wanted a boy" more than Nigella.

It's very egotistical - if you want to name your offspring after one of their parents - go for it, just make it one of the same sex.

No, its Tony.

Wondering why she isn't Toni Rooney now

Do you think Colleen Rooney's dad is called Colin?

Good God, no. I think she suits it but when you think of it away from her, as it were, it really is hideous.

No, but Simone is nice

or Clivella

I once knew a hairdresser called Gavin - he called his daughter Gavindra!!

I thought it was the name of a flower/herb ie you could argue that it is not just the female form of Nigel.
I think it is horrible though

I think its very egotistical.

Couldn't agree more. Was it even a name before Ms Lawson?

Always thought she's v lucky to be beautiful, is only way to live down such a godawful name...
