Come on, Cherise Pink is a drag name.

A classic more traditional would be better before Pink

Olivia Pink
Charlotte Pink
Emma Pink
Elizabeth Pink

Ah I taught a Cerise many moons ago and she was a lovely girl. Not the Pink bit though. Yikes.

Got to be Lily The Pink! The saviour of the human race.

Pink is a common surname in this area with all sorts of weird and wonderful first names. People probably wouldn’t bat an eyelid at Cerise Pink.

Ask them if they're playing 'pornstar name'

Spirallingdownwards · 22/07/2024 01:48

They are surely on a wind up.

I had friends who wanted Susannah (her) and Natalie (him) and their surname was West. Once I pointed out she would be Nat West then Susannah she was! (ps Susannah is a replacement to avoid outing the parents) but Natalie was his choice.

My ex husband’s surname is a colour, and we got nothing but jokes about this sort of thing when I was pregnant!

Whereas Kayne West and his ex wife seem to have thought that “North West” was a reasonable way to go!

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

Peggy Pink!

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

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

They could take a look at the Farrow & Ball paint chart for some inspirational names.

I know a Magenta Pink.... pink is her surname! She really suits it too, she's a happy, bright, cheerful person!

Peggy Pink!

Ha - I quite like that actually!

Ponoka7 · 22/07/2024 09:35

Tell her that Cerise means cherry and it is a shade of red, if you want to be pedantic. If anyone is in a certain area of Liverpool they'll know a Snow White, it is a cruel thing to do to a child.

@Spirallingdownwards the advert under your comment 🤣

‘Cerise Pink’ is not a good baby name?
themonkeysnuts · 22/07/2024 09:46

it sounds like a 'password' to her phone -poor kid if she does use it

SeeSeeRider · 22/07/2024 09:53

Sounds like a paint shade. No. Just no.

Getonwitit · 22/07/2024 09:59

Poor child will be a laughing stock all her life. Show your sister this thread, maybe then she will realise how cruel she is being.

ActualChips · 22/07/2024 10:00

You should have put spaces between the letters of the name in the title. Now if anyone googled the kid in future they'll see this thread.

DoopSnoggySnogg · 22/07/2024 10:02

The kind of name I would have made up for myself when I was a teenager 😬 It sounds almost like a drag name.

Lily the Pink? 😂

CurlewKate · 22/07/2024 10:03

I now have Lily the Pink stuck in my head....

KateDelRick · 22/07/2024 10:06

Medicinal Compound.
Be like every other parent of a daughter in the last 15 years and make sure her middle name is Rose.

InsensibleMe · 22/07/2024 10:16

‘Plinkety’?
It doesn’t quite work ☹️

Benjilassi · 22/07/2024 10:34

Eeek, it won't take long for your sister to find out what you're saying about her.
