What do you think of Vesper?

[deliakate]

What do you think of Vesper as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

Is it quite cool? We like the spiritual connection (evening prayers time). But obv not the scooter it might be mistaken for......

[SniffsandSneezes]

Nope. For all the reasons listed above

[ashesandfire]

It sounds waspy. And I didn't even know it meant wasp in Italian!
On the other hand it DOES remind me of Eva Green.

[Junosmum]

I think James bond, but that's not a bad thing. It does mean wasp though.

[Cliffdiver]

I really don't like it, sorry.

[BikeRunSki]

Bond Girl

[Crazypetlady]

Sorry O.p but I laughed, never a good sign!

[Scarletforya]

It's awful.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Oh didn't realize this was a zombie thread.
Little Vesper would be about 4 years old now

[LeotardoDaVinci]

And also pantliners from the 80s

Ditto

[AnchorDownDeepBreath]

Scooter/Wasp/Bond Girl were the immediate thoughts.

This thread is uber old, though, the baby is probably named by now!

[Havalina1]

Uncle Fester.

[VulcanWoman]

I thought it was one of those electronic cigarettes.

[reuset]

Scooters too.

[reuset]

Great name if you live in a monastery

Latin for evening. Also sounds like Vespa, Latin for wasp. Both, I was taught, back in the day, were pronounced with a 'w' sound, but as we're not in ancient Rome...

Ridiculous name by the way, zombie thread or not. Wags finger

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

I quite like the sound of it. It's certainly very edgy. But it sounds like a face cream.

[TurquoiseDress]

Ooops just realised this thread is over 4 years old!

[TurquoiseDress]

I met a woman the other day whose 2 year old daughter is called Vesper...I think she was inspired by the James Bond film!

If I ever have a daughter I'll be trying to convince the OH to call her Vesper, really love this unusual name.

[highlandbird]

first thing that sprung to mind was the scooter, sorry!!

[fifi25]

scooter

[TotalChaos]

How about Hester?

[BendyBob]

It's awfully close to Fester (as in Uncle..)

[Onion1968]

:o haha Fake, you are so right! Also LadyBoudica summed it up - hard, spikey name.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I'm thinking scooter too - also you'll have people wondering if you've done that thing of naming your child after the place they were concieved and trying to work out if they can ask you how you managed to shag on a scooter...

[Swarski]

Definitely a scooter to me. But a cool scooter..

[neighbourhoodwitch]

No
