Has DH lost it?

Latest for girl is Kiki. . .

Is he mad or inspired?

Depends. Is the girl a parrot?

The parrot in those Enid Blyton books and the hairdresser in the latest Maeve Binchy book. Not unworkable I think, but yes a bit out there.

I'm usually not a militant Sunday name fighter but perhaps might be the compromise here.

Ah... I think some gentle persuasion (of the "hellll noo") variety is needed here.

as in Kiki Dee? Her real name is Pauline...

Kiki could be a cute nickname for something sane , will have a think...

I know a Kimi - which I wasn't sure of, until I heard it's Japanese for her of no equal!

Fab as a nn, not so sure as a full name.

Wasn't she the cat in Hector's House?

ok, just did a bit of a search to see what it could be a nickname for, it seems in the Philippines it's the nickname for a mans bits. A bit like calling your DD 'Willy', but as long as you don't go to the Phillippines, it should be ok, however would this piece of information help you win the arguement with your DH?

Ah!!! Not so good. I just informed DH and he almost choked. He is now looking rather dejected. . .

Cute as a nickname, but not as a proper given name.

I think it's Janine's (in RL obviously) daughter's name

That must be a relief!!

Don't go to France with a name like that. It's children's slang for vagina.

I like it.

Ok far too many connections to genitalia - tis off the list!

So whenever your DH suggests a name you don't like, just tell him it is slang for penis or vagina in another country.

Which, if the country is Scotland, will almost certainly be true.

it would have to be a nick name only in my house, sweet but silly, imo

Yes, I do think I might add "could this name be slang for genitalia of either variety" to my name selection criteria.

I know a Kiki...her real name is Kristie! Her younger sister couldn't say Kristie and got stuck on Kiki.

What about Kiri?

DS goes to school with a girl called Marinique pronounced Mar'in'nee'kee nn Kiki!

Kiki is a witch in a Miyasaki film....she's cool. But agree, cute NN

I know a Kiki. She is Italian and it's a nn for chiara.
Gorgeous!

I went to school with a Kiki, nn for Gisela. She was very feisty :)
