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

[thatwasadaftidea]

Out of interest.

Paris from Gilmore Girls

Vienna is lovely, I agree. Or Venice or Verona. I met a baby Verona and she was adorable.

"Child probably from family in social housing"

Ugh, horrible comment

How about Charis? Beautiful name

i agree thornrose.
we're two professionals with a 50% share is a housing association property.
and...?

It says love to me. But that's because it's the name of my friend's longed-for child. The adoption was formalised last week. He has had some nobby comments about her name. From nobs. She is beautiful and amazing and that includes her name.

lovely, theoldestcat.

Gilmore girls or tacky tramp

I always think of the golden apple and how Aphrodite tempted Paris and Helen.

I quite love it as a boys name, as a girls I just think of Hilton shudder

so you meant it as a positive?

Ok that's lovely then Sunny.

so you think it would be a good choice for those who wish to celebrate their housing situation.

Alternatives:

Persis - I found this on a woman way back in my family tree. There's an Indian actress named Persis Khambatta, most well known for having been in the first Star Trek movie in 1979. It's a Biblical Greek name.

Pallas - Another Greek name. This was the name of a minor Greek goddess. Athena accidentally killed her and then took her name to honour her. I associate this with the Gustav Klimt painting, Pallas Athena.

It's a boy's name! Paris and Helen!

Chav. Bling. Nothing good.

Sunny, who are you - Katie Hopkins wannabe, perchance? A lot of hard working, thoroughly decent people live in social housing; good neighbours and well-kept homes are not just the preserve of home-owners.

My names paris im a girl. The first question i get asked when i tell somebody my name is “were you born in france?” (i was born in wales) so you just got to laugh!!But reading all your replies and how negative they are about my name because of Paris Hilton has ruined it makes me giggle a bitwhatever name you chosed bet its lovley xx

@parisdavies8 have you just searched threads on your own name? The ones you have commented on are 15 years old!

Not my favourite name but I don't think anything bad of it
