I think I must have lost my mind. I am categorically an Edward, Elizabeth, Caroline Peter kind of namer. Ffs, I've got a Grace!

But I've just been asked to be a godmother to my friend's gorgeous little girl- and I absolutely LOVE her name. Do I need an intervention? Any guesses? I've never heard this word used as a name before....

I do actually know an Amity. And I love Minim. Mind you, Crotchet would behave been more applicable to mine....

Thoughts of Lennon baby name for a boy?

I love it but there is a lot of hate against the name

Just reminded that I never said! The name is Story......

I know a couple with the surname Storey, but never seen/heard of a first name of Story.

Hope their surname isn’t Box.

QAnoun · 10/12/2023 20:28

Sorry, that’s a dumb name.

Hope their surname isn’t Box.

Or Teller. Or Book. 😁

I think OPs enthusiasm for the name is due to being asked to be godmother. Which is, I guess, understandable.

I know- I amaze and shock myself. It's not about being a godmother- I have many godchildren. So no excuse there!

I think an intervention is necessary 😂

Butteredtoast55 · 10/12/2023 21:09

In all honesty, it's a ludicrous name.

JamSandle · 10/12/2023 21:23

I think it's actually really pretty.

BooksAndHooks · 10/12/2023 21:32

Actually as much as this is not my sort of name at all. I actually quite like it. Not a name I would use but can see the appeal.

@Benicebenicebenice "I think an intervention is necessary 😂"

hmmm.
no.
Not because it is unusual, but because it is bit bland.

Prefer minim
