Baby girl name Demi?

[Tibby2]

Do you like or loathe the above?

As a nickname for something or as a full name? I've known Greek Demis (short for Demetria) but on it's own it just makes me think "half".

Loathe, sorry.

Possible because the only one I know is vile. Which is pretty irrational I realise.

i like it as a nn. Either for Demetria (like Demi Moore) or the goddess name Demeter.

I don't mind it but I utterly despise it when it's hyphenated with something else. Just Demi on its own is on the nice side of ok IYSWIM :)

Loathe, sorry.

Demi = Half

That's all I think when I see/hear demi.

Demetria, on the other hand, is very pretty.

Only if it's short for Demelza- love that name!

I would have loved to call one of my DDs Demelza but Dh wouldn't have it :(

Loathe.

I loathe it. I think it's because it was hugely popular in our area a while ago. Nothing wrong with that, but where I live, it's pronounced "Demmehh" and it sounds bloody awful.

It has to be loath I'm afraid - I don't mind any of the longer versions given above, but on it's own I can only associate it with the ubiquitous hyphenated Demi-Lee, Demi-Leigh, Demi-Jade, Demi-Roses etc etc.

Don't like I'm afraid, it's too linked with one celeb for my liking. On a par with calling a girl Britney or Sigourney.

Loathe. And too often hyphenated with something.

Loathe it.

An ex colleague named her daughter this and spent years trying to get everyone to pronounce it de-ME, but it was always demi to rhyme with semi, and she (the colleague) ended up not liking it at all because of this. Her second daughter ended up with a really traditional, easily spelt and always-pronounced-the-same-way name as a result.

Loathe especially if all hyphenated up....

Loathe sorry

Thats an all round loathe then! :)
