Wooops l needed a Smile

No to both. Destiny is chavvy. Friend's sister has a Trinity, which is even worse.

I like Ebony, not so keen on Destiny.

disneykid · 18/06/2017 19:55

I know one destiny, she's American. I don't like it.

Ebony is awful too.

Please don't pick one of these.

No to both

Too American

BossyBitch · 18/06/2017 20:03

Please don't! They spubd lile the girl-on-girl action duo at a local, western-themed strip club!

Kids grow up and they're stuck with these names for life despite growing up and needing to be taken seriously as adults. I used to work with a Sweetie-Mae as a student - I really hope her parents are going to leave her a fortune; they owe her big time!

Destiny the mortician would be kind of hilarious, though.

BossyBitch · 18/06/2017 20:03

*sound like

Reow · 18/06/2017 20:04

They are quite porny names.

Destiny10 · 18/06/2017 20:05

Faith is the last on our list. Family have used all other names we like

They sound like really American names to me

sonlypuppyfat · 18/06/2017 20:07

Faith is nice

Destiny10 · 18/06/2017 20:07

Well we are African American but live in the U.K.

Faith is LOVELY. Not keen on Destiny or Ebony, but I don't generally like names that end in the -y sound. Strange girl, I am...

OllyBJolly · 18/06/2017 20:09

Takes me back to my childhood watching Captain Scarlet. I wanted to be Destiny Angel!

ScarletSienna · 18/06/2017 20:11

I love the name Faith!

MotherTroubles · 18/06/2017 20:12

The problem with asking on here is that any names that are not white, middle class, English names are always slated.

I think Ebony is a lovely name.

JassyRadlett · 18/06/2017 20:12

Faith is gorgeous and I quite like Ebony, given you're African American. Destiny does unfortunately sound like she works in a strip club to me.

ScarletSienna · 18/06/2017 20:13

Mother that is unfair and untrue. You can just dislike a name!

CivQueen · 18/06/2017 20:15

Definitely Faith!

The other two are stripper/porno names. Sorry Grin

sauceyorange · 18/06/2017 20:16

Destiny is the name of the Afghan hound in Mongrels. God that show was funny. Sorry OP!

You know if doesn't matter what anyone says right? You go for it!

n0ne · 18/06/2017 20:16

Faith is lovely!

PetalMettle · 18/06/2017 20:17

I like ebony (for a dark skinned child) or faith.
I like Desiree but not destiny

mayoli · 18/06/2017 20:18

Destiny and Ebony are both lovely

AlcoholandIrony · 18/06/2017 20:24

What about Bedisa or Dalia?

MumUndone · 18/06/2017 20:25

Faith or Ebony, please not Destiny.
