Hi
Baby girl is due in 2 weeks I've posted about having the name Maggie but I've changed my mind !
What does everyone think of the name Misty ?

I'm not sure why I changed my mind about Maggie I down know if I felt it was too harsh sounding and maybe a bit too old fashioned to go with my other girls names .

Is Thea really popular do you think ? Although I don't know why I'm bothered on popularity as Lucy and Katy aren't exactly unpopular name suggests are they!

I know of a Missey - would that work?

I don't dislike Missey but I think I'd get far too many comments from family .

There used to be a girls magazine years ago called Misty - not very helpful and showing my age!

greendale17 · 02/09/2017 11:03

Definitely an animal name

m0therofdragons · 02/09/2017 11:04

I met a misty yesterday but it was a boy dog (I did think it's more of a girl name).

HappylandToysEverywhere · 02/09/2017 11:05

To me, it's a cats name

OnlyOneOfThose · 02/09/2017 11:05

Misty lives in a trailer and wears Daisy Dukes, sky-high wedges and a blouse knotted just below her cleavage.

Please have a rethink.

C0untDucku1a · 02/09/2017 11:07

Definite cat name. maggie is nice. Margot? Emmy is nice. Esma? I only know one Esma, possibly short for Esmerelda.

Anasnake · 02/09/2017 11:08

Cat's name

RiseToday · 02/09/2017 11:09

Sounds like a hooker name.

Maggie is lovely!

Only1scoop · 02/09/2017 11:10

Sounds like a stripper

Alittlepotofrosie · 02/09/2017 12:18

Melissa nn misty or missy?

Falconhoof1 · 02/09/2017 12:23

I know a Misty. I thought it was short for something at first but it's just her name. It's unusual but I like it

Shopkinsdoll · 02/09/2017 12:25

My cats misty

BlueberryPuffin · 02/09/2017 12:43

I've known of 3 Mistys in my life:

1 dog
1 porn star
1 character from Pokemon

tempingbowling · 02/09/2017 12:50

Stripper name

daisypond · 02/09/2017 13:00

Mary, Maisie, Millie, Mercy, Molly, Melody?

villainousbroodmare · 02/09/2017 13:03

Thea is lovely, sophisticated and the very opposite of Misty. Maggie is also nice.

LexieLulu · 02/09/2017 13:12

Lucy and Jude were names I suggested when I had my kids. On that basis (that we might have similar tastes) I called my daughter Alice.

Other contenders for me were Megan and Annie xxx
