Honey Krissy Wood

What do you think? I love it. I think Rex and Honey make a lovely pair (though I love quirky names) Grin

Honey Wood? Oh dear

Behooven · 09/09/2015 16:07

Honey Wood sounds like a 1970s porn star

wankerchief · 09/09/2015 16:07

Sounds like a Nickelodeon character

EachandEveryone · 09/09/2015 16:16

I like it. It's not too out there. I can think of at least two UK celebs that chose that name as well. I wonder what his other two are called? I assume Krissy was his mum. I get all the Rolling Stones mixed up!

I think she's unlikely to be a High Court Judge. I'd have murdered my parents if they called me Honey.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 09/09/2015 16:28

Yeah Krissy was her husband's mum

sparechange · 09/09/2015 16:55

Rex and Honey are dog names

aoife24 · 09/09/2015 16:57

There's a highly competent Honey when I work, I wouldn't be too keen to say it precludes you from being a senior lawyer.

rubybloom2 · 09/09/2015 17:02

I like it. We're seriously considering Honey as middle name.

I love the name Rex.

Honey though is just silly. Such a flimsy name.

squoosh · 09/09/2015 17:04

But I don't see how being called Honey would stand in the way of her being a High Court Judge if she was otherwise qualified.

Duckdeamon · 09/09/2015 17:05

Honey wood is a porn name.

PontyGirl · 09/09/2015 17:06

This is the name that I love but am not brave enough to use. I saw the announcement and was Envy that they can use it because they're all bohemian or something

MajesticWhine · 09/09/2015 17:06

I like traditional names, and I find Honey a bit silly. I'm sure she won't be too worried what I think though Grin

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 09/09/2015 17:22

Honey is my DD's middle name so I'm a bit biased, but I love it...

jorahmormont · 09/09/2015 17:25

I know of a solicitor called Honey.

SwedishEdith · 09/09/2015 17:27

Isn't Honey the one in Casualty? I'd just hate all the "Hi Honey", "Thanks, Honey" awkwardness about it.

shutupanddance · 09/09/2015 17:33

Congratulations Fern and family. Lovely name, suits them.Flowers

Honey and Rex are definitely the names of pets.

squoosh · 09/09/2015 17:39

Most pets these days are called Poppy and Oscar.

MistressMerryWeather · 09/09/2015 17:40

I think it's lovely. :)

Pandora97 · 09/09/2015 17:41

I'm a traditionalist so I'm sure you can guess my opinion of Honey. Grin I have what some people class as a little girl name myself and I love it so it's not that that bothers me. But it's a term of endearment and a sickly one at that - to me it's the equivalent of calling her Sweetheart or Babe.

Plus, by celebrity standards Honey isn't very original. That may be a good thing for her in the circles she's going to be moving in though.
