Keep quiet!

That is just pink pink really.
Although I suppose middle names are rarely used.

Pink is the surname. Which is totally outing now I realise. But they think Cerise would be sweet purely because of the surname.

You could suggest

Lime Green
Cornflower Blue

I'm guessing they're doing the "tell everyone a ridiculous name so they stop asking and don't criticise the real name" thing.

PiggieWig · 22/07/2024 00:12

Yikes! Is it not enough that she will be Baby Pink?

Cerys?

Lilysienna1 · 22/07/2024 00:12

Other names on the shortlist :
Lily Pink
Violet Pink
Rose Pink

I don’t think they’re thinking this through very well.

I really hope so. If Olivia Pink is born, I’ll be overjoyed 😅

Their plan is working already. Wink

Well it’s memorable!
Suggest Margaret Pink as an alternative!

BearFacedCheek · 22/07/2024 00:15

Just for something totally different

Ushion Pink.

For those rare occasions when it's called out Surname Forename.

😉

Is the child male or female?

paisley256 · 22/07/2024 00:24

What about Polly Pink or Peggy Pink? I mean if she's keen on Pink then these sound kinda cute.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 22/07/2024 00:25

They must name it “Schminky” Pink.

Oops just realised Pink is the surname, I didn't read properly 🙈 but Polly or Peggy does sound cute.

That poor kid is going to rename herself Mary when she's 12, and disown her parents Grin

Barbie Pink
Inthe Pink
Parlour Pink
Simla Pink
Tickle Pink

If they're serious, is it possible to persuade them that a little joke or "sweet" reference is OK, but not as the baby's main name, as she after all will not be a baby forever? E.g., Olivia Mary Cerise Pink; the "Cerise" will rarely be used.
