Ginger, opinions?

[WeatherShine]

Thoughts on it?

As a child's name? No it's awful

I wouldn't myself.

It's a cat

Sounds like a character from a 70s American cop show. She is friends with Sherry, Brandi and Candy.

Well Ginger Rogers was verrrrrrry cool

I wouldn't though, partly because if the cat name thing, partly because of the cockney rhyming slang thing, and partly because it's just a bit too quirky for me

It's a cats name, what are you thinking

It's a nickname.

I'm going against the grain here

I quite like it for a girl.
but I'm 25weeks pg so probably crazy

It's my hormones, I tell ya! I just thought it sounded pretty, but mysterious.

Ginger Rogers wasnt christened ginger though.

Hmmmmm. spice girl.

Pretty but mysterious is many things but not that.

We had a chicken called Ginger!!

Sounds a bit Strippery.

'Ginger' Rogers was actually named Virginia.

I'm usually an extremely diplomatic poster, would dress answers up in cotton wool, but there are some questions that require a more direct approach and I'm afraid this is one of them!!!!!.......

PLEASE do not call any child Ginger. It rhymes with certain lady parts, it's a pet's name, it's a derogatory term (sorry to the redheads, but yes, it is usually used in an unkind manner) and many, many other reasons.

No. PLEASE. No.

It is indeed a derogatory term, just ask my Son !
No insult is complete, without the word "ginger", thrown in.
How about "Red", or Redmond.
For a girl,
Scarlett
Ruby
Cherry
Rose
OP, please, not Ginger !

I had a cat called Ginger.

I wouldn't. Makes me think of the character Ginger in Casino.

Ginger Rogers was cool, but the name is not.

Sorry!

Awful.

My first thought is the big ugly misshapen spice (tastes lovely though). So, eh, not a good image.

If you have twins the other could be garlic.

Nut, well you would be if you called your baby ginger
