Blythe?

[Mumblyboo]

What do you think of Blythe as a sister for Alice, James & Ellie?

sorry, no. horrible

I like it. But I have an equally marmite Nancy.

I love love it. But I live near a place called Blyth so it would be a no no for me.

It's a very East Coast preppy type name, like Blair or Sloan.

It's not really my taste but I kind of like it.

Nice! Unusual, but not weird.

Love it. Do it.

I like it

Google image search Blythe. It's a wildly fashionable big eyed doll.

I like it.

It's Gywneth Paltrows mums name.

East coast preppy? It's Scottish! I love it. I know a Blythe. Great name.

I know it's Scottish in origin but it has an American Waspy feel to me.

Gilbert

I love it and I know 2 I think it's gorgeous

One of those names that I should hate but actually I quite like. I struggle to see it on a little baby, but on a grown up I like it.

Love it, and I think it just fits with your other DC's names too!

I like it. Blythe danner is a great association.

Love it! Have Merle down on my list as similar.

I adore Blythe! Connotations differ depending where you are, I guess. I'm in Scotland and whilst I've never met one here, it's definitely a name I associate with being Scottish more than 'East Coast preppy'??!!

The obvious association for me would be Blythe Spirit (wonderful Noel Coward play/film. Do see it if you've not before!).

Blythe was the top of my list when pregnant with DS1 & DS2. Wouldn't have been able to use it even if we'd had girls as our surname starts with a 'J'. (BJ is definitely a troublesome set of initials!).

'East coast preppy' in that surnames as girls' first names is/was a popular trend in that demographic. Names do travel.

Have never met a Scottish Blythe in all my time here, have met two American ones.

I know 2 (both Scots). Think it's a lovely name. Wouldn't occur to me to think of it as American.

I get the American connection but it wouldn't change my liking of the name. Do it, goes with your other children too

My associations are Gilbert (and Anne and her kids in later books of course), and also the word blight, though not being even remotely Scottish I might be pronouncing the name wrong.
Having said that, I actually do like the name, so a thumbs up from me.

I quite like it. It's unusual while still feeling like a 'proper' name. Works on a child and an adult. A bit different in style from your other dcs' names, but it doesn't sound odd alongside them.
