Thanks.

Kizzy could be short for Kezia which is nice. Agree Lily May is the best out of the list but it is very common in not a good way

FellatioNelson · 08/07/2012 19:31

Are these sorts of names really THAT disliked?

Er...well it sort of depends who you ask. But around these parts I'd say yes. Grin

HeadfirstForRomance · 08/07/2012 19:31

Lily Anne as first and second name, no double barrelling.

Lilly-May Anne sounds silly, and that's the best of the three.

Anna May is nice?

usualsuspect · 08/07/2012 19:31

mnetters will look down on them.

TodaysAGoodDay · 08/07/2012 19:31

None. I can't stand hyphenated names. On their own Lily and Leigh are nice, but the others are not. Just my own opinion like.

MulberryMoon · 08/07/2012 19:31

Lily May, although I would prefer Lily on its own.

PerryCombover · 08/07/2012 19:32

Do you reside in the Appalachians?

MrsApplepants · 08/07/2012 19:32

Sorry, don't like any of them. Lily - May is ok at a push.

HeadfirstForRomance · 08/07/2012 19:32

If her surname were Hayes, she would be (Lily) may Anne Hays - Mayonnaise! Grin

EnjoyResponsibly · 08/07/2012 19:33

Lily-May is the least worst.

The other two are just stupid, made up, badly spelled and stupid.

MulberryMoon · 08/07/2012 19:34

What about Lilyleigh or Kizzilexi ?

SpringHeeledJack · 08/07/2012 19:34

Kizzy's quite nice

only on its own, though

I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH

Grin

I prefer all those names to the bloody awful old/man lady names that are so loved on mn.

But I know I'm in the minority.

I would hope no one would pick or look down on her. in reality she will probably just get called one name and as singles they are not bad names at all, like the idea for kezia for kizzy.

I was at a play centre today and 2 kids having parties had hyphens.

Personally, I'm just not a big fan of them.

ChunkysMum · 08/07/2012 19:35

She's coming over later. Does anyone have any suggestions that you think she may like? Baring in mind her naming style.

I was going to suggest Lillia?

OP posts:
HecateHarshPants · 08/07/2012 19:35

honestly?

There will always be people who will look down on her for that sort of name, and who will make assumptions about her based on it.

The awful and insulting 'chav' label may be thrown about. People can be like that. It's wrong, but it's true.

I like Kezia. My great aunt was called that. Kia (k-eye-ah) for short. (I am fairly sure she was a Kezia. Am dragging it out of long term memory storage Grin we always called her auntie Kia)

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 08/07/2012 19:36

Lila may or kezia. Lexi is fine IMO or alexa/ alexia, lily is fine.

usualsuspect · 08/07/2012 19:36

Ethel - Gladys

Gertrude-Ada

MulberryMoon · 08/07/2012 19:37

Lila is nice.

FellatioNelson · 08/07/2012 19:37

Why don't you suggest Mary-Ellen? It would remind everyone of the Waltons so it would be sweet. Grin

Anna-Leigh isn't too bad.

Annie-Rose is lovely.

The hyphen becomes sort of acceptable if the names are not yuk.

ChunkysMum · 08/07/2012 19:38

Will definately suggest Kezia. Any other ideas?

OP posts:
FellatioNelson · 08/07/2012 19:38

usual they are all horrible. What are you doing woman? Grin

Astr0naut · 08/07/2012 19:39

Her teachers will look at the class list in yr 7 and judge.

The GCSE examiners will assume, from the name, a D grade candidate.

FellatioNelson · 08/07/2012 19:39

I'll see your Gertrude Ada and I'll raise you Hilda Edna.
