Paris as a girls name. What does it say to you?

[thatwasadaftidea]

Out of interest.

yup, both vetoed on first attempt with DH. (not that that means anything )

Hilton

Then the country

Then MJ's dd

It's a boys name, Paris seduced Helen of Troy.

it's nice but I would prefer to avoid a -ie, y for a girls name.

Paris, just makes me think of that vacuous Hilton bint.

I like all of your other names OP, apart from Ignis.

It says 'gilmore girls'. In that context fab but in all others, crap.

Artemis is lovely. What about Atlanta? Paris is terrible in my opinion. Sorry!

ok, i'm over the paris idea.

I like Isis (Egyptian goddess of motherhood and magic.) Oh, but again that might be too much 'is'!

Isis is a beautiful name. My niece was called Isis, she is no longer with us but she was angelic.

Spoilt brat

Hilton. Sorry. And a few slightly obnoxious children I've taught (spelt Parys/Parris). Not great associations, I'm afraid!

I love Iris and Isis.

I didn't think of Paris Hilton, and I do think it's just as nice for a girl as a boy.

I would think she was conceived in Paris.

Have you considered Stella?

Vienna is a far prettier name for a girl

GilmoreGirls

I love Artemis but DH has vetoed it. Missy for nn - so cute!

Artemis is gorgeous!

Paris just doesn't have great connotations to me. We have Ms Hilton and then the weedy mythical shit Paris who nicked someone else's wife and let his dad and big brother sort his mess out for him. I really don't like mythical Paris!

Artemis is lovely but possibly a bit pretentious.
Iris is nice.

What about Maris?

I met a Tordis the other day (Norwegian). I think Nordic could be the way to go if you like the hard ending of -is or -it.

'Pari' and 'Parisa' are Persian names you could consider if it's the 'Pa-' you like. They are unrelated to 'Paris'. A pari or peri is a sort of fairy.

I love Eris but isn't she the goddess of chaos? could be cursing yourself.
Iris is a bit dull
Isis was nice before it was a website on sleep
Artemis is okay I guess
Ignis I don't personally like the sound
Paris is ok for a boy but negative associations for a girl

It's a boy's name and when used as a girl's name, it suggests the Hilton woman.

I taught a girl called Paris some years ago. She was a lovely child and her family were definitely not at all chav.
