It's abysmal.

Much like the books and films.

DramaAlpaca · 10/01/2017 22:52

It's really bad. Sorry, but you did ask.

10Betty10 · 10/01/2017 22:52

I think you will regret it. Is very novelty. Also will get teased mercilessly by other kids.

Could you go with something similar instead? Maybe:
Esme
Renee
Rhiannon
Rae
Regan

Ehrm, are uou serious? You'd give your kid s lifetime of issues with it.

WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup · 10/01/2017 22:54

It was a special name for the characters. I don't really see how it's a special name for you though. Why not merge your and your partners Mum's names? Would that work?

PointlessUsername · 10/01/2017 22:54

I like it.

Pixilicious · 10/01/2017 22:55

Yuk

babynumber2xx · 10/01/2017 22:55

Thankyou :) just wanted to see what others thought. Didnt say it was special to me just that i like the name :)

Oh god. No. I had to stop reading the books when they called the kid that it: so, so bad.

(I'm sorry to be so blunt. I just don't think it can get much worse).

JaxingJump · 10/01/2017 22:58

It's not great OP. Sorry, I know you like it. But even as a word it looks ugly written down. Very hard to read and pronounce.

I think we'd be doing your daughter a big favour to steer you away from it.

babynumber2xx · 10/01/2017 23:00

Now this is why i asked.. I love the name but didnt know whether i loved it enough to use.. But seeing it written down does make it look ugly lol xx

Good stuff. Anything else you like? Like MaryGrin

Enjoy choosing! I thought of lots of interesting names while pregnant but now that my kids are here I'm glad I went with nice ordinary names.

babynumber2xx · 10/01/2017 23:07

Ill blame the hormones on the thought of even thinking of that name Grin

Esme would be nice.

squoosh · 10/01/2017 23:09

I think Renee is a great name. Has a bit more zhuzh than Esme.

Sophronia · 10/01/2017 23:16

I'd go with Renee or Esme instead

10Betty10 · 10/01/2017 23:23

If it makes you feel any better, my hormones had me spending all of Monday truth to convince my partner that Forest was a good name for a baby girl... Needless to say I woke up on Tuesday morning disgusted with myself. Hormones are dicks.

peasweet05 · 10/01/2017 23:31

It's not the best, agree with other posters that Renee of Esme would be much nicer!

SeveredPixieBits · 10/01/2017 23:34

It's atrocious. Betty's list up thread is a good one.

LegArmpits · 10/01/2017 23:40

Oh no. Please don't. Pregnancy hormones are ridiculous! (Nearly called first born Tiger Ben 😂)

LegArmpits · 10/01/2017 23:40

Oh...on the other hand I feel slightly broody for a girl called Forest...

IWantATardis · 10/01/2017 23:46

Not a name I like. It sounds really clunky to me, and it's rather ugly sounding.

Agree that either Renee or Esme would be much nicer.

Aquamarine1029 · 10/01/2017 23:51

Oh god no. Don't do this to your child.

raviolidreaming · 11/01/2017 03:41

Even Stephenie Meyer thinks it's a bad idea! Also, it's seemingly spelt Renesmee in the books - although I will admit I haven't read them.

Esme is lovely.

Renesmee is not! Grin
