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.

She'd probably end up as one of three or four Princesses in her school year though. That's how these things work. And everyone would say, 'name her after Jordan's daughter, did you?'
She's probably be sitting next to a Petal and a Honey.

People that call their children title names include Michael Jackson and Jordan, which of these twats do you and your DH emulate?

Ah yes, a few ill thought out names from my school days...

Annete curtan

May Day

The pig twins. Emma and Dale. if it wasn't mad enough sounding like a soap opera when they got called in for tea, they also had to live with the surname 'pig'

All were mercilessly teased at school, all had parents who just didn't think !

The thing is OP, you asked for opinions and you got them, just because they don't make you feel fluffy and warm inside doesn't make them any less valid.

The thing is people will look at your daughter's CV and will judge her on her name, is it nice or fair? Heck no, but that's life, she isn't a doll she's a human who will not stay three years old forever.

Are titles even permitted as first names? I've heard they aren't, which is an angle you may want to pursue if you need a counterargument.

Any little girl might be called "princess" by her daddy -- it doesn't have to be on the birth certificate.

Good god above no.
no no no.
no.
Really.
Bad. Really really really bad.

I don't have enough words to describe how truly awful. really just awful

Sienna seems like a nice name. I hope you choose something that really suits your baby. :)

Not keen on Lola (I think of that song by the Kinks) or Princess, though I think either could work as a nickname.

If you like Lola, how about a longer name and use that as a nickname? Laura, Lauren, Laurie, etc.

But that's very unlikely to happen, if she has a fluffy and non-aspirational name. Not saying it's impossible, you're just making it that much harder for her.

Apologies, thread had moved on somewhat since the post from OP I was replying to..
Also sorry for double posts, can't stop it.

I agree with everything Colditz says, sorry but she speaks the truth

I like emptyshell's suggestion - if your dh is so set on Princess, why not use it as a middle name? Best of both worlds

Sienna Princess ...
Lola Princess ...

or how about

Sadie Princess ...
Jasmine Princess ...
Heidi Princess ...

Colditz does indeed speak the truth, harsh as it may be to hear.

how about Amira? i think thats pretty! and means princess!

Not Princess, and not Lola-Mae. Sorry, but they are both chavlicious.

Lola is classy, on its own (am too old to be reminded of Charlie & Lola - read it further up the thread.)

I quite like Amira and it goes with our surname! Thanks

Sarah means princess too

Not every employer has had diversity and equality training. Many, many employers (without a trained-up HR dept to do it for them) would see Princess on a CV and assume her parents were thick so with such an unfortunate genepool they would fling her cv aside without reading about her 1st class degree. It's not fair but it is true, they are just human.

I haven't read all the posts, but it looks like the general consensus is that Princess is pretty tacky. And, I'm sorry, but I agree.

It's fine as a nickname, but as a christian name not great. I'm not keen on hyphenated names either. Where I live they aren't exactly classy.

Of the three I like Sienna the best. Lola is OK, but DD has a friend with a dog called Lola and I can't see it as a girl's name without thinking of the dog. But that is just me so ignore that last comment.

well i thought that perhaps if you find a name that means princess its meeting in the middle with your hubby, and Amiras very pretty i think!

I can't believe that anybody would actually call their child Princess but according to the Gov's stats there are quite a few who do! Its hideous, there are so many lovely, pretty, feminine names out ther - why on earth would anybody go for that?

Lola and Sienna are fine, not names I would choose but perfectly nice names. My DH has some funny ideas but if he suggested Princess I would assume it was a joke.

Princess isn't hideous, it's a pretty enough sound, it's just silly. And people would assume you are fans of Jordan which also makes you look dumb given she appears to be a greedy, manipulative monster who shamelessly exploits her children.

There are lots and lots of black children called Princess. (although it was somewhat more common a few years ago, you're more likely to meet a grandma called it)

If you're black in black community, go for it. If not, I wouldn't.

Another suggestion for full name for Lola, which is a bit more girly... how about Laurelle?

Agree with everyone else - Princess is a total no-no and if DH landed our DC with an inappropriate name to "prove a point" I would be very pissed off
