coriander?!

[biscuitracer]

I'm thinking of calling my next daughter coriander, what do you all think?

Reminds me of the Sally Gardner book - great story. Never met a real life Coriander, but why not?

Depends on your surname. If its Green, I wouldn't.

If she's twins they could be Carrot and Coriander. Or Tomato and Basil.
Vegetable names are a bit hippy.

Don't be ridiculous.

:o

Coriander? :o

Spicy.

Rosemary
Lavender
Minty (short for Araminta)
Flat leaf parsley

Nope, sorry, I don't think herb names is a good theme to pursue.

Sorry, but I'm going to be cruel to be kind.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! People will take the piss for ever and ever. Don't do it.

Agree, but I do like Sorrel.

Lynda Snell's step daughter

Our other little girl is called Julia, just thinking of something a bit more exotic to compliment Julia.

I'm going to say no. clam is right, lifetime of sniggers when she introduces herself...

Corrie. Thats nice.

Need to know the outcome of this one.

Julia and coriander sounds whacko!

Sounds a bit masculine. How about Coriandrea?

Saffron
Bryony

Even anise is better

Never thought of Corrie, that's lovely. If she doesn't like it or can't cope with sniggers from all the Lexis, she can use the nn Annie.

DH thinks its masculine!

Some great suggestions, anise sounds a bit too much like anus tho.

Coralie?

No. Just, no.

Corin?

I went to school with a Coriander. That was 30 years ago and it didn't seem very controversial. Her sister was called Joanna. If you like it then use it.

Are you kidding or actually being serious?

Sorry, but you have reminded me of a time DS mistook 'her' for 'herb' at the park and as we'd been planting the seeds that day, he decided that the little girl he'd befriended must be called Coriander. He kept calling after her, 'Coriander', and I kept cringing but laughing inwardly. It never occurred to me it could be a real name. IMO don't think it works, sorry.
