Thoughts on Destiny.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Chavvy.
Imagine that name when applying for a job / university

garmsfresh · 18/06/2017 19:06

Very very chavy ,sounds like a hooters girl name .

troodiedoo · 18/06/2017 19:07

Stripper name. Although I expect it will rise in popularity because of the shark in finding dory.

villainousbroodmare · 18/06/2017 19:09

Unfortunately it carries skangery associations and will for most people.

Lucked · 18/06/2017 19:09

Sounds like a late 80s discotheque.

It reminds me of the scene in Young Frankenstein when he's shouting Destiny Destiny

Destiny10 · 18/06/2017 19:13

Oh

Thoughts on Ebony?

CBeebiesaddict · 18/06/2017 19:16

Ebony is much nicer IMO :)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/06/2017 19:16

Well, I actually like them both.😄
Love Ebony, and like Desi, as a nick name for Destiny.

Loyly · 18/06/2017 19:16

I dislike both Destiny and Ebony, sorry.

AdalindSchade · 18/06/2017 19:17

Both are heinous

greendale17 · 18/06/2017 19:17

Don't like either

sonlypuppyfat · 18/06/2017 19:17

I think ebony is equally as bad

Destiny10 · 18/06/2017 19:19

What's wrong with Ebony??

OP posts:
Reow · 18/06/2017 19:22

Both naff.

AccidentalMagic · 18/06/2017 19:23

Both are horrible, sorry.

ShinyGirl · 18/06/2017 19:27

Please call your child Destiny.

elisa2502 · 18/06/2017 19:27

Awful

IceLollyInThePaddlingPool · 18/06/2017 19:32

Ebony is nice but doesn't shorten well. I like Raven nn Ray.

ScarletSienna · 18/06/2017 19:34

I dislike both names equally. You'd probably hate the sort of names I like too!

Any others in the running?

Thingymaboob · 18/06/2017 19:41

Ebony is ok for someone with (very) dark skin

EmmaC78 · 18/06/2017 19:42

I dislike both. Destiny in particular.

Destiny10 · 18/06/2017 19:47

@Thingymaboob she will have

I know a Destine (pronounced Desteen) if you're after an alternative.

chanel19 · 18/06/2017 19:50

Such snobbery.
Both names are sweet and appealing.Hmm
