Tuesday as a middle name?

[coolyeraeroplane]

DH wants to give our daughter the middle name 'Tuesday' (won't go into the reasons why). I actually don't hate it but don't love it either but I know it would make him very happy and his parents. I just think will people think we're mental using Tuesday as a middle name? Like teachers etc? I feel it's very alternative.

Her name would be Jessica Tuesday Jenkins.

I've never heard it before but think it sounds lovely, especially if there is a reason behind it. The name Sunday is now becoming more popular too.

I really like it and I’m pretty conventional with names.

I think it!

I like it! And if it means a lot to your partner even better!

Children very rarely tease eachother because of names anymore - there are so many different ones they just accept them.

I agree with this. Random spelling is different, but Ive never heard of a child teased because of their name. Even when the name was Blue. Children just accept that as the name.

I knew a Tewsday (I think that was how she spelt it) and I always liked it

I think it sounds really lovely.

Yep, I remember Tuesday Weld.

I think it's a lovely name. Nicer than Jessica to be honest.

It’s pretty, nicer than Jessica to be honest.

I love it!

Just no. Other kids will find out and tease her for it. It isn't worth it just to please your DH and his parents.

One of my best friends is called Tuesday. She's 40 and I've never known anyone to comment on it. What teasing can be made out of Tuesday?

It's awful!

I think it was Wednesday (when day) Joey in Friends said was a nothing day.

I don't think teachers would find it particularly odd (I was one) and I don't think other children would be bothered. There are much, much weirder names out there.

I worked with someone called Tuesday. Listening to her making appointments was always worthy of a smile. "No I'm called Tuesday, I'm coming to see you on Thursday.... No, I'll be there Thursday" and on it would go.

I don't see how this could happen? If you're making an appointment time why would they get muddled with her name??

I love days of the week names, Thursday Next anyone?

I know a few Tuesdays and I love it!

I like it, I like meaningful middle names rather than ‘Mae’ sounds good stick it in etc.
I only know the middle names of the children in my class because we talked about it over lunch.

I want to hate it because I generally do hate trendy/quirky/wanky names. But I actually do like it. You do have to have a reason though……and one that dd can share without cringing.

I love it and no she doesn’t have to be born on a Tuesday for it to work. I have a Holly and she wasn’t born at Christmas 🤷‍♀️

I also have a Holly who wasn’t born at Christmas!

No. So many names out there. Dont pick a day of the week.

Tiw's Day. God of War with one hand I think. Dying to know why you chose it.

I love it, but only if her first name is Monday.

I like it. She’d better grow up to be a superhero with a name like Jessica Jenkins! :)

The only time it was an issue at Christmas was when we used to drive by a sign that said “holly for sale” her older sister used to chant “holly for sale, holly for sale” and Holly would get very upset!!

Had a friend with the middle name Tuesday, it really suited her!
