Friends awful baby name

[ThisIcyHare]

My best friend is due to have a baby soon, they are having a girl and she has been talking baby names with me, which feels super special. She has got a few very lovely traditional girly names, and a couple of more unusual choices, but not ‘offensive’. They are names I would expect from her. However, she has one absolutely terrible name, that actually just feels very cruel. It would be bad even by American standards and ‘tragedeigh’ names. It’s not that I wouldn’t choose it, it’s just crazy stupid and the child will be ridiculed by peers and adults. Some of her choices are genuinely wonderful, but I’m so worried she will madly choose this one awful name, I can’t say anything can I?!

OP, I think you have to find a way to point out , objectively, how the name could pan out for the child, in school, if the word crops up in the news, if they happen not to live up to the quality their name describes on any occasion., if other kids find it too out there etc.

Unity?

The u is pronounced oo in many, many languages. If I see Bu, I immediately think boo.

I thought you meant the name was tragedeigh 🫢

Justice
Liberty

Like many others I thought Honesty, if not what about Morality? 😂

Sincerity
Honour
Truth
Veracity
Virtue
Decency

Hopefully not Rectitude?

Rumplestiltskin

I know a Peculiar (meaning 'special & protected in her Nigerian culture I believe). I had never heard of that name before I met her.

It has got to be Dignity ?

Honesty is a plant, and rather a pretty one, so you could see it from that perspective.

Do you mean something like Honesty or Truth? Both of those were very popular Victorian names. In fact, anyone who gets exasperated with 2020s names should take a look at the Victorians - not only were they very fond of (trying for) originality, they also re-used the names of children that died.

Just go with it, anyway. The current crop of babies have such unexpected names, nothing will seem strange among her peers!

But you'd have to spell it Honesteigh

Oh come on!! What is the name?

Something like virtue or righteous?

Coffee just came down my nose !!

It can’t be That bad surely? Not like Adolf or bum hole?
It’s just you don’t like it 🤷‍♀️

Without knowing the name we can’t comment

Is it Euphemia??
Virtue name, means "well spoken" was most common in the victorian era. I think it's very romantic but could see why someone might think it was nuts.
Or Chastity. I like the sound of that one but don't like the connotations.

It's not Elphaba, is it? Someone I know wanted to call her daughter that, from 'Wicked'

TELL UUUUUUUS

not Patience then?
