Maiden Rose

Why the hell would you saddle your daughter with a name like Maiden? It's cruel.

And to be honest it's an adjective for a spinster so not the best choice maybe Op....any others on your list?

Baylor and Ballons

oh and just to clarify. .edgy? how? because of iron maiden? hardly anyone I know knows who iron maiden are never mind little children! (except my DS and DD )

Awful, as is Saylor. Don't do it!

I like some of the other suggestions on the thread.

Sounds like an elderly virgin to me. Or a boat. Sailor is becoming more popular? Where are you?

I would use a name that could be part of a sentence

The maiden rose from ....

And it sounds like a boat I'm afraid.

I do not for one single second believe that anyone thinks the name Maiden is "edgy" because of Iron Maiden. Or that Maiden is a good name for a girl at all actually.

Rose is lovely.

Maiden is awful.

Maiden Chorley is lovely!

Um, no. Sorry, don't like Maiden Rose. Sounds like something to do with boats or virginity. I'm praying you don't have the surname "Head"

Please tell me your surname is Head. Or Hood.

Surname has to be Name, surely?

Really? That poor kid.

Never heard of 'Saylor' before, so I wouldn't be worried about it being too 'popular'.

Its awful, sorry. As is Saylor (which I've never heard of either).

How about you choose an actual name, rather than a random word that will just lead to the child being the butt of jokes?

Down here in deepest Devon, girls are still called " little maid" by older folk.

it sounds pretty but it means virgin, so maiden rose just sounds like a euphemism for virginity.
Doesn't mean you cant use it. After all, Cher called her son Chastity didmt she

Very sorry to sound so critical, but, as others have said, maiden means 'a girl who has not had sex'. It's a definition, not a name. Until recently, 'Maiden' or 'Maid' (the two words have the same origin and mean the same) was also a patronising way of referring to young women and keeping them in their place - as in the Victorian saying: 'Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever'.

As I'm sure you know, the original Iron Maiden was a ghastly torture device, and that's not a nice thing to be named after, however much you like the band.

As a teenager, a girl called 'Maiden' will get teased and feel horribly embararassed.

As an adult woman, when she's pregnant/a mother, she's going to feel pretty silly....

Maidlin Rose

No, sorry. She wouldn't thank you!

I call wind up.

I'm imagining one of those comedy situations like you see in films...

What name?

Maiden.

No your first name...

It's Maiden.

No, not your maiden name, your first name.

Maiden

You're not understanding me...

Argh!!!!

Its not good. You should do Maiden Marian and then she can be Maid Marian for short.

Rose is lovely.

Belinda is unusual but girly.
Maiden isn't a name. Nor is Saylor.
I'm hoping it's just the PG hormones! (Dh wanted to call PFB Gallant if it was a boy, thankfully was a girl)

PMSL at "Gallant"

I'm not normally a grammar nazi or pick up on people's spelling but 'Saylor' really makes my teeth itch.
