Princess for a girl?

[yummymummie1]

Opinions please without being too nasty would be appreciated we are really struggling to agree on girls names i love Sienna or Lola-mae however hubby not liking either of those and suggested Princess.

That's a rotten attitude - he's not the one who has to try and live a life with the name.

Cold comfort - I like your comment on it not being the deep south - although I usually hate hyphenated names (Ella-Mae being the most disliked) I have a soft spot for Ann-Marie, Mary-Lou and Sally-Ann.

Lola was a showgirl though

I like Sienna.
Lola-mae - don't like the -mae, Lola is ok on it's own.
Agree it is utterly utterly cruel to give a girl the name Princess.

It would be awfully confusing for people when she announces herself as Princess Smith (or whatever) .

Is your DH a bit of a comedian?

It still sounds Porn Stary to me... anyway everyone will be singing Copacabana at her...

What about Tallulah?

I once met a grown up woman called Princess. I thought it was a lovely thing to be called, as it showed how much her parents had idolised her when she was born. Aaah.

Would not like to be called it myself, though, probably as the only princess I resemble is Princess Anne or Austin Princess.

Sarah means princess, if that's helpful.

Lola is short for Dolores, with is rather sad sounding and sad in meaning. I like Laura - more timeless and prettier!

I wouldn't choose Princess.

.

Lulu, short for Tallulah?

Well with an attitude like that from your DH, I am worried for your child's upbringing.

Yes, tell him you'll go for it but only with Anne or Di as a middle name. See how much he likes it then! :o

I really don't want to sound nasty but your DP's suggestion makes him sound like he's the kind of man who has very little respect for women and just sees them as cutesy, fluffy little things. Even using 'Princess' as a nickname makes me cringe.

Your suggestions of Sienna, Lola and Mae are very nice. Just don't hyphenate, use one name or the other, it's much classier.

Names that immediately conjure up girly & pink to me are ones like

Felicity

Lucinda

Miranda

They should also ride ponies

i'm a sarah so thats out lol and my mum's rabbit is called Tallulah so not overly keen on that i still really really like Sienna but am still worried as with my first he was set on Jacob and wouldnt change not matter what i suggested! although he doesnt like Jordan so maybe if i inform him that her daughter is Princess he might change his mind.

Princess is the nickname builders from Essex give to their daughters. The builders are called Dave; their daughters are called Jade or Chloe. The Daves all have wives called Karen; they live in Barratt homes and go on holiday to Marbella.

he has alot of respect i dont think he is doing it for it to seem like he doesnt i think he genuinly thinks it would be a nice name which it would till she was like 5

So you had no choice in your ds's name?

What about

Leila
Luisa
Saskia
Sara

Or if you want to keep the Princess theme, how about calling her Diana, Caroline etc

Princess isn't even a name ist a title

Ah, but Jacob is a NAME! And a nice name too, so completely different. Yes, point out that everyone will think you named your daughter to copy Jordan, because they will. I think it is just putting so much pressure on a child to be called Princess. Suppose she likes maths and football and is a sturdy six-footer?

Ella?

For God's sake call her Natalie. Tilly for short.

She won't like Maths and Football. her dad will inform her of this fact before she is five years old. It won't even occur to her to like maths or football.

Frilly names include Angelica (he can call her Angel) Angelina (ditto, but there is the mad film star to consider) Arabella (Belle)?

Aurora (sleeping beauty)
