What about Mellow?

[wellthisisasurprise]

She’d be Mellie a lot too... is Mellow too hippy?! Second name begins with M so love the flow...

And if you're "young" but old enough to be qualified to teach we're probably about the same age, if that makes any difference (though I wouldn't self define as "young quirky and individual" or consider myself to be a particularly young mum tbh)

@Reppin and here was me thinking this type of place was somewhere for women and mothers to support each other and chat like friends. What a horrible horrible thing to say. I will now delete this app, never use one like it and have a little cry. I hope your comment made you feel big and strong. Thanks to everyone who just gave their opinion on the name, which is what I asked for, a platform to chat things out.

The kind of people who describe themselves as Young, quirky and individual usually aren't.

😂

It's a very silly 'name'.

I was going to suggest Meadow but see you don't like it. I think with the greatest respect that Mellow needs a rethink. There are other names like Patience or Serenity that would work better.

The only Marlowe I've known in RL is male.

"Any ‘M’ names that come to mind that are a little different? "

For girls: Mab, Madora, Musidora, Morina, Mehitabel, Monessa, Merula, Marita, Marriott,

Oh dear, missed OP's update.

I hadn't spotted it was a 'you're all bitches' thread.

Aw OP it was just a joke. Mellow out..

According to your other thread you're 29. That's old enough to know that Mellow is not a name for a child or an adult that will not encourage eyebrow raising and judgement.

Matilda could probably be nicknamed to Melly?

I always think naming children after character traits/virtues is a bad idea (patience, chastity etc) and mellow falls into that category for me. You just know they'd end up being a highly strung drama queen.

Mallory?

What a massive overreaction to a fairly mild comment. Have you never spent time on a forum before?

Mellow is a ridiculous name.

29! I was 29'when I had my first baby and I had 'geriatric mother' on my notes.

Anyway, I don't like the name Mellow as a name. Sunshine? Yellow?

If you're going to overreact like that every time someone thinks it's a rubbish name, maybe don't go for something "quirky and individual" as names like that often receive unwanted comment.

OP is it your first day on the Internet? People can be mean, people can disagree with you, get over it.

Also, stop picking random words and saying that they’re names. They’re not names. Yes anything can be given as a name but it doesn’t mean it should; I’m reminded of a vulgar phrase “anything’s a dildo if you’re brave enough” 😉

You'd be unlikely to have comments in RL though, because most people have better manners.

The whole purpose of this topic is to give opinions on names unfiltered by RL manners, isn't it?

I've just bought some brick pavers called Mellow but I don't expect that helps

You may be Young, quirky and individual but the poor child has to live with it!
like the Chardonnay and Merlot who live next to my mum 😳

Smelly Mellie most def.

I don't like the name, but I agree that kids don't tease. Or if they do, it's not really about the name - it could be anything.

I was a teacher and taught kids with some real zingers of names. Like, really bad.

The teachers took the piss (sorry, but they did) the kids just accepted it.

OP, if you're upset by that then imagine yourself in Mellow's shoes when she inevitably gets teased. MN can be brutally honest, but that's the point – your child's friends will be too.

I once knew a Maren (Spanish) and thought it was pretty and unique.

Think of the children. Mellow please no.

Just to clarify, the teachers took the piss amongst themselves, not actually out of the kid.

Not that that makes it any better.

If you want to be quirky then change your own name to Mellow and live with it yourself instead of saddling your poor child with it.
