Very nice.

Gorgeous

newtlover · 01/05/2017 18:32

it's the little girl in Charlotte's Web
I like it

Frillyhorseyknickers · 01/05/2017 18:39

I think it's a dogs name.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 01/05/2017 18:43

I like Fern.

I can see where Frilly is coming from as I do know 2 labs & 1 Springer Span called Fern but the same can be said for Meg(an), Jess(ica) & a whole host of other names too so don't let it put you off.

WorryLessCherishEveryDay · 01/05/2017 18:43

Gorgeous name

DramaAlpaca · 01/05/2017 18:45

Absolutely love it.

Please spell it this way and don't mess around with it.

onalongsabbatical · 01/05/2017 18:47

Lovely name.
Never met a dog called Fern (to be fair, don't know lots of dogs).

WaitrosePigeon · 01/05/2017 18:50

I really like it.

Hayls17 · 01/05/2017 18:58

Love it, DD would have been a Fern if DH had agreed to it!

squoosh · 01/05/2017 19:07

Very niche Fern reference ahead:

In 80s tastic movie Baby Boom Diane Keaton is about to give her inherited baby (it was the 80s) up to Midwest hick religious couple. They tell her they're going to change baby's name from Elizabeth to Fern. So she calls the adoption off.

For some reason that's my first Fern thought.

It's a dated nature name to me like Dawn or Hazel. But not awful or anything.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/05/2017 19:13

Lovely, don't change the spelling ! 😀

SwimmingToTheForest · 01/05/2017 19:16

I would never change the spelling!

YAY!

Monkeyface26 · 01/05/2017 19:52

Just lovely. Tasteful. Sweet for a little girl, cool for a teenager, friendly and chic for a grown woman.

Rockaby · 01/05/2017 20:02

I really like it.

Jooni · 01/05/2017 20:06

Like it. I don't find it dated at all!

Ellieboolou27 · 01/05/2017 20:12

Like it and as a dog groomer I've yet to come across a dog named fern.

FluffyBathTowel · 01/05/2017 20:23

I really like it. never met a dog called Fern either

Frazzled2207 · 01/05/2017 20:27

Like it.
I know a baby Fearne but no Ferns.

NameyMcNamerson83 · 01/05/2017 20:52

Love it, it's on my long list 😊

Heathcliffitsme · 01/05/2017 20:53

I have never met one but I can think of three famous ones which put me off.
