Tulip

[Going211]

What do you think of Tulip as a first name. I think I would pair it with a more conventional middle name Tulip Elizabeth, Tulip Alexandra, Tulip Victoria. Other suggestions would be appreciated.

I named my cat Tulip. I don't see it as a 'persons' name myself. But if you like it go for it!

I quite like it. Tulip Muzumda is a BBC reporter. But then again I liked Orchid when expecting a girl and am retrospectively glad DH vetoed!

Not my favourite. There are a lot more much lovelier flower names in my opinion.
Sounds like something from the Darling Buds of May.

I thought of Tulip Mazumdar too.

Putting the name with a trad British one seems a good way to acknowledge dual heritage.

I like it actually!

I like it. I don't think I'd be brave enough to use it as a fn though! I'd prefer it as a middle name.

Which flower talks the most?

Two lips.

How about Hyacinth! That's a great name if you think about it. Or Wisteria or Azalea?

I quite like it, I went to school with a Petula who was called Tulip. She was definitely a queen bee type with very pretty hair.

I know a Tulip and her name strikes me as ludicrous every time I hear it.

To lip or not to lip. I love the flowers but not keen on this as a name.

Not at all keen, I'm afraid. Primrose?

Terrible.

I always thought Hyacinth was a boy's name?

it ought to be fine as flower names are very common but somehow it strikes me as a bit odd. If you particularly want an unusual flower name I think there are more attractive ones-say Marigold or Fleur

I don't like it, because I read a book called The Tulip Touch when I was a preteen and it scared the shit out of me.

But what matters is whether you like it. There are loads and loads of flower (and other botanical) names out there if you decide against Tulip.

What about Daffodil?

Tinkly its one of those names that started off as a boy and then became more used by girls.

How about Blossom?

Not for me.

Tulip is a real guilty pleasure of mine! I've heard it's more common in Wales (still very unusual) but with the spelling Tiwlip.

Hmm. Not sure. Love the flowers but..
I liked Amaryllis when pregnant with dd but went with a more traditional name.
Middle name? Incidentally I know someone who has a dd with a middle name of Strawberry. Not heard that one before.

I like it and it's a brave choice but then we have very unusual names as a family. If you like it, use it. Or you can always have it as a middle name if wavering.

I think I have baby brain because when I saw your post I initially thought it said Turnip

But no I don't like the name Tulip unfortunatley sorry...I always worry with very unusual names that that the child would get bullied at school. Unless of course you went to an ultra posh school where there are other kids with unusual names like lemon etc

Never thought of that before. Very nice I reckon. But I have a Dahlia.

Not my favourite girls name. Must be a thing I have against names ending in P
