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.

There was a Tuesday in the Point Horror book 'Freeze Tag' and I have always liked it since then.

Jessica Jones is an awesome name.

Prefer Amelia.. I used to love the rolling stones ' Ruby Tuesday '. Great name.

DD has a friend with the middle name Tuesday. As unusual names go I think it is quirky but has a pretty sound to it.

Gooodbyyyye Ruby Tuesday who's gonna pin a name on youuu

What's wrong with Wednesday?
nothing I suppose unless your surname is Addams

My daughter is called Tuesday x

@LightSpeeds

I like it but I think it may attract rude comments about being conceived on a Tuesday...

About 30 years ago when we were first TTC, we were on holiday in Brittany. After a very pleasant "together" session one Tuesday afternoon we agreed that if that had worked and resulted in a daughter she would be called Frances Tuesday.

It wasn't. Took another 3 years and IVF so our DD has a totally different name. But it has left me with a soft spot for Tuesday as a name

Honestly, it is kind of silly in my opinion.

Tuesday isn’t exactly the best day of the week, could you name her Friday?

If she resents the name, she can always change it to something else once she is legally old enough.

I've been watching too much Netflix - my only thought was "What happened to Monday" 😁

No one knows my middle name, except the tax office, and they’re not telling.
I don’t like unorthodox names usually, but Jessica Tuesday Jerkins is a complete winner of a name.

Stupid name !

Not everyone works Mon-Fri or hates their job. I like Tuesdays.

If he's so desperate to convey a quirky personality he can do it by changing his own name and wearing silly clothes. Maybe a t-shirt that says 'I'm not like you normies' or something.

The place to tell people how 'unique and different' you are is not your child's name.

@TimeForTeaAndG, Wednesday’s child is ‘full of woe’ - at least according to the rhyme.
Tuesday’s child is at least ‘full of grace’.

I wouldn’t choose it, OP, but then there are loads of names that are now popular that I wouldn’t choose. Especially those that conjure up to anyone of my generation, wizened, whiskery old great-aunts, and bristly tweedy old men smelling of pipe tobacco with traces of their breakfast down their fronts.

My cousin is called Ceadaoin, (K Dean) which is Wednesday in Irish. We are Irish,live in Ireland was she was born on a Wednesday .

I like it.

As someone who's been teaching many years I've heard an awful lot worse, some first names too.

Don't think it'd be an issue at all tbh.

I think it's perfectly nice. Kids don't really get teased for having unusual names now, because it's so common to have an uncommon name. And honestly if your child is being bullied, the bully will find something to target them for, and a middle name is quite low down on the list of things to pick on.

i remember wanting to use Tuesday as a first name, and Friday

I know someone who did name their baby Friday. Bloody stupid. The next baby had an equally ridiculous name.

It made it very easy for her ex-husband to track them down when they escaped due to DV, as Friday and the other child's ridiculous name immediately made them stand out when he contacted schools in their new area looking for them.

My DCs all have "unyooshall" middle names in the same sort of ballpark as Tuesday, they haven't been teased about them and really love them as young adults.
I love it.

@MrsTerryPratchett

The alliterating first and last are far more of an issue. Unfortunately adding the Tuesday (which I love generally) makes it even more 'comic book'.

What's wrong with that?

Wednesday Addams.
Thursday Next.

Can’t see why not. All kids have silly names these days. I can’t see this being the cause of any problems.

I WANT to scream 'naff' 'hipster' 'stop tryna be cool' la la la!

But I quite like Tuesday for a girls name weirdly! Didn't think I would!

Maybe even the FIRST name!

No. Tuesday is like the worst day of the week as well. I hate Tuesdays more than I hate Mondays.
