Honey

[manderella]

Hi mumsnet. Dh and i have totally fallen in love with the name maddison for our dd. We were struggling with a middle name but now have come up with Maddison Honey Thomson! Opinions please or any other middle name suggestions. Thanks.x

Billy's daughter in Eastenders.

No, Billy's ex wife.

His daughter is called Janet.

Maddison = American rubbish name
Honey = way too cutesy cutesy

Overall - YUK!

I had a hamster called Honey too!

But I also knew a human Honey - my best friend's little sister when I was about 7. I loved it then and still think it's pretty cute now.

I think Maddison Honey has a nice ring to it.

Thank you for all your messages. I am very grateful for your honest opnions. No this isn't my first have a daughter already. Was not very popular at the time now think its between 50 and 60 of this year names not sure tho. In my area there doesn't seem to be any Madison around. I should say that this wasn't my top choice but the only one out of 30names dh likes. I would prefer to have a name that isn't used that much. But can't think of any x

I think Honey is lovely - it was on my list for middle name. I dislike Maddison though but you like it & I do think it goes with Honey.

I think Honey falls into the same kind of boat as Daisy, Poppy, Milly, Molly - all very cute & girly sounding which I really like :)

I love Honey. It's one of my guilty pleasure names. I'm not sure that I could use it as a first name,but I wouldn't hesitate to use it as a middle name.

Oh, I thought this was a joke. Sorry.

Seriously though, it's not a great name, is it? It's what my mum would describe as a plastic name, both of them give me the ick if I'm honest.

What is your older DD's name? Is there something that you considered for her that you could use for DD to be?

I like Madison quite a lot actually, would spell with one 'd' though. I've never heard this used here, though I believe it's very popular in the US!

Wouldn't use Honey though, just sounds a bit too cutesy and twee - maybe nice for a baby girl but I'd be a bit embarrassed by it as a teenager or adult I think.

Too many 'son's. If you are set on these I'd go for Honey Thomson with Madison as a middle name.

Oh good point about the surname, Madison Thomson sounds a bit odd and repetitive. Maybe Madeleine would be better in that case!

Dislike.

Awful.

Is the sur name Thompson. Oh I second going for Madeleine

I was thinking that about the double 'sons' as well, which is what you get if you use a surname as a first name. I don't think the issue is that Madison is popular per se, rather that it is very faddy and will therefore date terribly.

For the love of God, don't switch Honey to the first name though.

Being completely honest - it sounds like a stripper name. It sounds cheap.

There are better unusual names out there if that's what your going for. If you love it though go with it. I sometimes get raised eyebrows at dd2s name! But I absolutely love it so am not bothered.
