Sorry, but I still really like Persimmon.

[allhailtheaubergine]

I'm pronouncing it PER-sim-on. Like the fruit, not the house building company.

I love the nickname Percy for a little girl.

It's pretty. It fits with my other daughter's name.

Is it really so terrible?

Well, DH laughed me out of the house when I suggested Liesl

I like it.

please don't call your child that ... or Persephone - if you have read Stephen Kings Duma Key you would know why ..... waaaaaaay creeeepy!

I would still automatically think of the hous ebuilding company, sorry.

Persephone however is lovely.

Persimmons are fruit that are best eaten slightly overripe - more Hyacinth Bucket than cute little girl IMO!
I know the French are into calling their daughters fruity names (I`ve come across Cerise, Prune, Clementine and Framboise) but Citron???? Lol

Lark
Larch
Marimo

Names I secretly like but will never use. Marimo is worth googling - it's a super cute Japanese moss ball.

Yes I said moss

Ooh, Pomona is also a good nature name.

I wasn't really apologising for the name; more the fact that I am disagreeing with everyone despite being told quite unequivocally that it is Not A Good Idea.

Lol @ 'cute' moss. Actually, Moss could be a name.

Clementine.

Mirabelle. What about something else ending in belle? Not Isabelle.

Juniper.

Lorelei (Dh says absolutelynotnowaynoargumentsnotever)

Persephone

Persimmon

Myrtle

Peregrine

I also really like Gertie and Hester and some of the uglier Victorian scullery maid names, but these really don't go with my other daughter's name.

Oh dear. Perhaps I'd just better hope this kid is a boy.

Go and lie down in a darkened room for a few weeks until you feel better. Why do you want to afflict your child with the name of a dodgy fruit or even, in your very own words, some of the uglier Victorian scullery maid names ? Are you having a difficult pregnancy? Is this some kind of revenge for extreme sickness? Or do you just want to give birth to your own skivvy? I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will have a boy. And then you`ll probably call him Peregrine. I give up...

Or Pomolo.

Seraphina?

What are your boys' names?

Glad to hear the puking is better!

If it's a boy he'll be either Gilbert or Humphrey or Earnest. Sorted.

Oops. Did I just spell Ernest wrong?

Ok now you must be taking the piss, but I LIKE Ernest. Is that weird?

Actually, no, perhaps you're not joking. It's Humphrey that's making me undecided. Although Humph as a nickname is starting to win me over...

It's not at all pretty. It's hideous,and utterly ridiculous. And Percy is also dreadful.

If you are choosing it because you think it is a pretty name, I think Percy as a nickname is not pretty at all so depends in the end what she is going to be called.

I like Paloma.

I like Paloma too. Really stylish yet soft name, and very international.

@ some of you

Oi!

I like Paloma. I can assure you that I'm not pregnant

I've never heard of the housing company, if that helps.

OK, I really like all of your latest girls' list apart from Myrtle, Gertie and Mirabelle. I still like Persimmon and have never heard of the company. We seem to be in the minority so perhaps that says something about my taste in names

OK. So that's a MN negative then. I'll give it a few days before POAS
