Do your worst - names that really DON'T work with the surname Green

[noteasybeinggreen]

I'm a Green, and it just isn't easy being a Green and trying to name a child.

Anything with the initial P is out,

Ta ta, Teresa!

Bethany? What, Bethnal?!

we've put so many names with our name and the pairings are laughable, but there must be more I have missed. So, go on, do your worst and help me rule a few out, while getting a laugh at the same time. TIA.

Bowling
Village

Don't use them.

Nicola. My friend Nicola Green has always been called Green Knickers.

Scarlet Green is not good - red and green should never be seen!

Tree/leaf/plant/herb names - Sage, Laurel, Hebe, Fern
Green gemstone names - Jade, Beryl
Names which mean green - Chloe, Teal

How about you tell us some names you like OP, and we'll let you know if we can think of any problems?

I just want to have a laugh among the baby naming arguments TBH vol. Loving Vince Green I will share this with my SIL, another Green who's having a miserable pregnancy and needs a giggle.

I did not know Chloe meant green, that's a veto then!

Forrest

Peter

Helen

Dixonofdock ?

Lucinda

Matt

Apple sprang to my mind. Though I'm still not sure it's a name despite whatserface & coldplay bloke using it.

Soylent?

oh dammit Bunny beat me to it lol

Anything ending in -gan (Tegan, Megan, Logan).

I've just realised though that I know two P Greens, and a Hazel Green and a Christine Green, none of which had bothered me before this!

Gretna

Sorry I think I'm being thick, why don't the -a names work, nickel? I'm saying Anna Green in my head again and again and not seeing the issue.

Eva Green, on the other hand... But isn't there an actress called that?

OP, how about Hunter? Teal? Myrtle?

Vince Green - ha! Took me a while to work it out but I got there in the end!!

The actress Eva Green's father is Swedish and her name is actually pronounced Ava Grurn (my cousin is a make-artist who has worked with her).

Sorry I don't get the Vince Green one - what?

I dont get Vince Green either
