So baby no.3. Just confirmed as a girl, and we like Ripley- anyone got any thoughts, positive or negative?!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I like Ripley for a girl.

ShmooBooMoo · 13/10/2016 12:51

Dislike strongly, sorry.

maitaimojito · 13/10/2016 12:52

No, sorry.

It might get shortened to Rip which isn't a nice word.

Scribblegirl · 13/10/2016 13:02

My parents live near Ripley

It's a no from me I'm afraid.

I considered this for my daughter, as in Ellen Ripley. DP said no. He wouldn't let me call her Furiosa either.

Defintely Alien, 'Believe It or Not' or 'Talented Mr', none of which are great connotations for a child (or adult). It might be a cool name for a dog but not a person.

No.

Nope.

Loyly · 14/10/2016 15:46

Ripley? No.

sonlypuppyfat · 14/10/2016 18:56

Ripley wasn't even Ripleys first name
