Poella?

[DancingOnParsnips]

Yes or no? 👣

I'm thinking something like Tanto Atteso (Tess for short, obviously) would have been good.

Erm TAAT alert!!

I think Poella is lovely. Are you pronouncing it Poh-lah?

Is the baby here now? Last I heard she was long overdue

She was indeed long overdue. Poella’s Mummy is taking precautions to avoid any more I believe.

Puella is latin for girl.

Yes she arrived and was like 2 pounds!

They're talking about constipation Scottish.

🎶 Pooella d’ville, Pooella D’Ville.... if she doesn’t tear you... no poo ever will! 🎶

If that name has a special meaning to you then by all means. But if you just heard it or someone may have just suggested it then I'd say no. I'd rather go for Paula :). But it's still your call.

No!

No OP, just no

i fervently hope this is a wind up - the thought of some poor kid being called Po or Poo by their classmates doesn't bear too much thought!

It sounds shit ( literally)

Reminds me of a character on cbeebies...

I wouldn't...

Sounds like food. Or poop.

Have I logged onto Netmums by mistake?

I have no idea what is happening here. But surely you would only name your child that if you were planning to home educate until they're old enough to apply for a deed poll.

No idea who the previous mner being talked about is.

Poella though, what a wonderful nickname she'll have at school. Pooey. Pooella. Poo. Such a wonderful choice!

Paella?

Is it really pronounced Poo-ella ?

Well it would be character building I guess.

From where the heck did Poella originate? I can just imagine the unfortunate child being called pooey Ella ☹️
Paella, puella?
Just call her Poo and have done with it op.

Actually, having given it some thought, Poella would work really well as a middle name after Edgar Allan.

I like Pooella

POO ELLA. Poor kid
