Eugenie [title now edited by MNHQ]

[Thundercrackers]

Thinking of a girls name is exceptionally hard for me!!! This is my latest thought but dh not convinced- does it just make you think of princesses genie? I like that it's quite strong and could be ahortened to Ginny. Honest opinions welcome!! Thank you!!

"Eugenics, the social movement claiming to improve the genetic features of human populations through selective breeding and sterilization, based on the idea that it is possible to distinguish between superior and inferior elements of society,"

Bloody autocorrect!!!!! I meant Eugenie not eugenics! Is this fate trying to steer me away? Sorry everyone who thought I might have just suggested the worst baby girls name possibly ever ... ????

Do you mean Eugenie? Eugenic means something pretty horrific

Please god that's a typo for Eugenie?

I believe the Nazis were a fan.

I very much hope that is autocorrect for Eugenie.

Definition of eugenics (as favoured by the Nazis and others): eugenics.

I hope this is a typo or wind up.....

Not a typo? Then it makes me think on Eugenics.

Glad you cleared that one up!

Um, is this a joke? If not, you may want to google eugenics. Did you mean Eugenie?

Ps ah... It's just autocorrected to Eugenic . Sorry op. Fwiw I like Eugenie!

i rarely venture onto these threads, but please

don't be so bloody ridiculous

check a dictionary

Ah, phew!

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!!! (Think Eugenie is now officially dead in the water, dh was right!)

phew

phew

But I have to say that Eugenie always makes me think of eugenics anyway. Or that princess. Neither particularly good associations to have, IMO.

Eugenic is not a name. Eugenie or Eugene are names. There are millions of names out there; why pick a random word to use as a name??

Probably best to avoid the name too as the correction clearly boils blood

Ooops!

I agree- maybe don't choose Eugenie if autocorrect can bugger it up so comprehensively

Also, Beatrice and Eugenie - those two useless offspring of a useless pair of Royals?

What about:

Genevieve - could be Ginny too?
Juliet
Julia
Elodie

I think "Eugenique" is prettier for a girl

X posts!

Er, am shuffling off to ask mumsnet to delete this pointless thread pronto - am so embarrassed!!

A classic example of why people should to RTFT!

Or in this case, the first three posts, but which time OP had a) explained which name she actually meant and b) apologised profusely for the auto-correct

Nah, it's funny

What do you think of my names?
