Bluebell....

[BabyDubsEverywhere]

My sis is called little blue, long story, its only a nick name, I call her blue, alot.

Have just found out we are expecting a long tried for number three (so there will be lots of name thread form me coming up :) ) and i like the idea of using my sis in the baby's name...blue....Bluebell, which i honestly think is a fabulous name even without sis connection.
So what do you think...Im only a few weeks so have a looong time to change my mind, no need to have me done for child abuse just yet, its just an idea..

I wouldnt mind being called Bluebell

Traditionally it is a cow's name.

My uncle always had a cow called Bluebell and one called Buttercup.

I think its pretty.

I think it's beautiful and unusual, congratulations! I love that she could choose to use blue or belle as a nn, I'd be very happy to have that name and can see it working for a rock chick, grunge girl or a Girly girl. Nice choice!

I wouldn't, because of the way my mind instantly goes to "Blue movies", "are you feeling blue?", etc... probably says more about my mind than your taste.

Congratulations!

Bluebell works OK on a baby or little girl but i don't think it works for an older child or adult, it is far to cutsy.

I like the idea of Bluebell or Blue as a middle name.

Thankyou for all your responses, I have counted up the votes and there was only one in it, and that was for bluebell :) (well actually that was my vote which i supose is slightly biased )

Im keeping it on the list, I am genuinely pleased at the responses, much more positive than I expected, so thanks again. Watch this space, choosing names is the best bit pre baby for me :)

it's a bit limiting for future life isn't it? you're sort of condemning her to life as a crusty hippy really - chief justice bluebell or dr bluebell don't exactly roll off the tongue...
