Misty?

[BelleTheBeatnik]

Is it a little bit twee? Does it remind you of the little Sylvanian beaver? Or is it a perfectly 'acceptable' girl's name?

it reminds me of exMILs dog

I reminds me of a comic from the 1970s- quite like it.

Play Misty For Me.

It's not exactly beatnik is it ?

reminds me of Pokemon

but that's not a bad thing

we also used to have a cat called misty, but ditto!

Of course! Pokemon! How could I be so ignorant!

Labootin!

Twee - for sure, i really dislike it

It reminds me of Jill Wins a Pony shows age

A friend's GF is called Misty... I can't quite get used to it and i always think of her as a bit hippy/loopy/airy fairy although she's not really. She is actually lovely and pretty grounded but the name is deceptive.

It's a dog's name.

Maybe it's the hormones but I am going to steal it like it :)

Its a pony's name. Or a dog.

It's a fluffy wuffy nothing kind of name.

There's a swimmer called Misty Hyman isn't there?

It's a lovely name for your kitten/puppy/pony.

You really didn't mean baby did you?

i would agree, it's a pony's name.

It's not twee - it's (to my ears, fair enough) ridiculous. At best it's a name for a pet. And I also remember the comic. Please don't set an innocent little child up for a lifetime of funny looks or worse, comments. You may think that would be wrong, and yes, it would, but this isn't an ideal world, and it would happen.

It was my budgie's name. Not one to use on an actual human.

A family members (no longer with us) cat in afraid

i love the name

American trophy wife.

Definitely a pets name.

Don't worry! It's not for my baby. My pregnant friend mentioned today, and I didn't really know what to say, particularly as the only other baby name she's previously mentioned is extremely common, so I was quite surprised!

I said it's a bit like Coco et al - like Marmite. IMO it's cute for a baby and lovely on someone with model looks, but downright awful on your Average Josephine, iyswim. However, there's seems to be a general consensus that it's too pet-like, so I may have to steer her away from poor Misty and the common name!

It's a perfectly recognised top 300 name in America.

I wouldn't be brave enough to use it but do think it's quite cute
