coriander?!

[biscuitracer]

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

Sorry, but no. I think it's a dreadful name and im very open minded and with a weird name myself!
Corrie is truly awful too, but your decision I suppose...

Mmmm.
Well,it's definitely unusual.
In answer to your question,it wouldn't be a choice that I'd go for.

It's not well known as a girls name but Julia was after my late nan and she would've been named something more exotic otherwise.

Oh fuck no.

Corrie is short for Coronation street [hgrin]

Sorry, its hideous.

Corina or Carina would go better with Julia, IMO.

Corrine? Constance (Connie) ?

Err, that's gross. Corrianne?
Have you considered
Persephone
Ida
Janine
Brogan-Leigh

Pikesy1 I haven't and their is a good reason!

And now The Archers theme tune is running through my head, followed but the tones of Lynda Snell.

You're considering a herb. I was joking with Brogan-Leigh.

How about Carina instead?

Corisande is a real name

I think Julia is lovely, glorious Herrick poem about Julia. Whenas in silks my Julia goes...Those 17th century names would go well

Cecilia
Lucasta
Lucia
Alicia
Corinna

Or Roman
Flavia
Camilla
Helena

Coriander? Seriously? [hconfused]

Marjoram?
Lettice?

I'm sorry, but please don't.

Some really interesting suggestions there, something special about herby, earthy names

Makes me think of The Archers, too. Isn't she the foul step-daughter?
Corinne is nice ("koh-RIN") & a real name.

I know one and she has a spice-named sister.

Haven't seen the archers just something different but not obscure, hence coriander. Has a nice flow to it

PMSL

Coriander is the joke name my DH and I use when we imagine hypothetical children of luvvies! Please nooooooo don't call your child this!

Coriander is for curries, not for children!!

Believe it or not, I went to university with a girl called Corrie-Anya.

This has to be some sort of wind up?

What about Thyme or Parsley? ;)

If you call your daughter Coriander, be prepared for a lifetime of people making a blank face as they learn her name, whilst they think of something tactful to say.

Do you really want to saddle her and yourself with that reaction?

If you want herbs go for Rosemary or Sorrel but that's about all you can get away with herb-wise.

It's an honest idea for a name. Apparently its increasing in popularity, could be common soon

I can't see it ever being popular

although some of the rubbish that becomes popular now who knows

No. Never!
