To think this would be a good name?

[marmitec]

Before I start I am not pregnant or TTC or even thinking of giving a child this name

Calamari.

If you don't know what it is - it's fried squid. I did not even know this until a few months ago. I thought of the name Camari and suddenly, there it was! Calamari popped up into my mind somehow. I searched it to see the origin ect. and such and found out it wasn't a name for a human but for squid dishes.

I still think it's so sweet sounding, like Lily or another traditional name. Say Calamari was actually a flower, it would be an unusual but beautiful name.

So, if you forgot the squid thing and heard Calamari, what would you think? Does it sound like a good name?

I've always thought Pizzeria. Or Lilet.

Xpost. Yes, ignoring what it actually means, yes, it's a pleasant name.

If I didn’t know how to pronounce it, I would say “callamarie”.

But it’s still no good 😂

Yes!
Rubella and Syphilis also sound like lovely names out of context!
Avarice lovely for a girl
Lucifer is also a beautiful name for a boy

hahaha about Lilet!! It does seem elegant in the same vein as 'Margot' or 'Lilith'

Spudulike! 😂 pronounced Spud-oo-lick-ay

It sounds like lunch. But as you say, if roses were called calamari people would certainly name their daughters after them.

arethereanyleftatall - hahahahaha!!!!!!!!! [rolls over laughing so much belly hurts!!!!!!!] - are you serious with 'yes, ignoring what it actually means, yes, it's a pleasant name'!!!????

!!!!

Mumsnet I love you!!!!!!!!!!!

Mozzarella would be nice, Brie is already a name

Calla Mairi

Gonorrhoea

Someone actually thinks this is hilarious?
Christ on a crystal meth binge. There is no hope for humanity

@Noeuf I remember your thread! It was great.

I think I get what you mean - it’s a nice sound. But the truth is nobody could forget the squid thing 😂

Labia? That’s got a nice ring to it

Oooo and Candida.
That’s actually a real one 😂

I know exactly what you mean op...Calamari is very pretty sounding!

Aioli is actually a lovely sounding word/name. You could have twins Calamari and Aioli.

My suggestion there is two actual names

calamari is very pretty sounding

hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!

What about Shark? Then you could sing the song
Baby Shark do do do do do
Baby Shark do do do do do
Baby Shark
You can be Mammy Shark do do do do do
Mammy Shark!!

Sushi
Epiphany

Also very pretty names if you just listen to the word 😁

I think Calamari would go very nicely with Frittata for a pair of twin sisters.

I get what you mean op!

Sounds a bit fishy to me.
