What do you think of the name Lushe as my baby daughter's name?

[jem08]

What do you think of the name Lushe (silent e) as my baby daughter's name? Plenty of people have the surname Lush so why not have it as a first name? I already have a daughter called Harlowe which caused uproar with the family but has been received well in nursery but I need something just as unusual for my new arrival due in January. This is my first post so please be nice to me...

What about Loveday?

What about January or Halle?

[jem08]

iMoniker - Like Brooke, have always liked it since Brooke from One Tree Hill but just don't like it's popularity. How many Brooke's do you know just out of interest.

jem08/OP, do you have a Scandinavian background? (I ask because of your brother's names)

If you are, maybe try a nice Scandie name. It will seem unusual, but not 'out there'.

[iMoniker]

None. Not one.

I know two Brooklyn's though

[jem08]

teothersend - Unusual but not sure about that one? Do you know someone with that name?

iMoniker - You're on my wavelength now, think you've sussed the kind of names I go for, January is nice. I also like Autumn.

Scand names

Bo
Britt
Freya

[iMoniker]

Yeah I like January - Janey for short

Amarys/Amaris

iMoniker - Brooke is definately going to be considered (I think hubby liked it too) as I don't know any either. I did meet a newborn in a hair dressers who had just been given the name so I thought the popularity had sinced increased.

badtime - Not Scandinavian background that I know of, my mum just likes unusual name and I do too. Jansen is acually a Turkish friend of my dad's that we named him after.

[badtime]

Silje, Saga, Moa, Ylva, Malin...

[amck5700]

Piper?

[amck5700]

Jennara

[jem08]

amck5700 - not keen on that one, got any others.

I'm in the South West and Lush has always meant lovely/delicious, hence the name of the shop. I still wouldn't choose it though!

Silent letters added on for nothing seems utterly pointless to me.

What other names do you like?

[amck5700]

Cameron
Jaime

[iMoniker]

Kendra
Shaina
Sienna ... V common
Tegan

[iMoniker]

Emi

[jem08]

amck5700 - Piper is nice, reminds me of Charmed (if you ever watched it?)

Wantan orange - Thank u for your constructive criticism, the reason I added a pointless letter onto Harlowe is to make it more feminine and also to shut my hubby's family up about referring to Harlow in Essex. If I was from Essex then I probably wouldn't have called her that.

[amck5700]

Nope never watched it - you seem to like names suitable for boys or girls so maybe have a look at more of those.

[jem08]

iMoniker - I used to like Sienna but you are right it has become very common and there's one that lives in the same town as me. Kendra is one of Hugh Hefner's ex playmates (i think) so I'll avoid that like the plague.

[jem08]

amck5700 - Good suggestion, I shall do.

[iMoniker]

Lol... Yes good idea

[iMoniker]

Let us know hat you decide on

[Margerykemp]

What about Luna?
