Bluebell

[NewbieT]

Honest opinions please...

My little girl is two weeks old and we're at a complete naming stalemate

Ishbel would meet your criteria.

It's not my cup of tea, but I certainly wouldn't raise my eyebrows at it.

What does your dh think ? If he likes it go for it. None of her friends will know who Geri Haliwell is.

I really like Willow and Rowan which might be a sort of compromise between you and DH.

Oh and congratulations

Celeb try-hard name. Nevermind Geri, Beyonce's Blue is enough to put me off.

Oh just seen that your DH likes it, sorry missed that first time.
Go for it , it really doesn't matter what MN think.

It's sweet. Not sure if it will be popular with your dd though.
Names I have heard recently and love ...
Marnie
Bridie
Jenny
Pearl
Mistie

I like it, love Blue as a contraction too, or Belle

A family I know has a Bluebell. But they also have a Tinkerbell... Prefer Bluebell of the two but..

It's an adorable baby name, but can you imagine a grown woman called Bluebell?

I love Bluebell. It's a really sweet different but not too out there name

What WhatsGoingOnEh said - an adult called bluebell is ridiculous!

Well, if she really hates it, she can just be a Bella. Blue is a nice sound though.

I think it's lovely. I think in general people would receive it well. However, it's quite delicate and girly which would be perfect if your DD will be as well. If you have a tomboy it might not sit right. I imagine a white blonde 4 year old with big blue eyes...

I meant white-blonde referring to hair colour not skin (although blonde hair and blue eyes is that stereotype anyway)

I do like it but she wouldn't want to get too fat as an adult or there will be cow comparisons, unfortunately. I was thinking I wouldn't mind being called bluebell, but before I lost about 4 stone, it would have been problematic

It sounds a little ridiculous IMO. I think it will sound very dated/faddy in years to come. A little girl can probably get away with it but it's not great for a grown woman.

a lovely nickname
give her a proper name too though

Bluebell is a proper name, in the same way that Daisy, Jasmine, Hazel and Heather are. If you like it, use it.

Marigold? Juniper?

Bluebell I'm not sure on tbh, makes me think of Geri as well which is not good!

I find it silly-cutesie.

I know one. While it isn't my sort of thing, I don't HATE it. Must say, I don't much like "belle" names because they sound awful in the local accent.

Bluebell is really lovely. Go for it! X

I know a very very naughty pony called bluebell

Jonquil?

I love flower names but this is not even one I would use. (Perhaps as a middle name at a push) I do love Primrose though.
