Paisley

[igotyoubabe]

Do you like it? I heard it in my sons playground today and thought it was different! Or maybe I'm losing my mind..

I’m a bit shocked someone doesn’t know who Ian Paisley is! are you from the UK OP?

Little girl may be sweet, unfortunately her parents have saddled her with a silly name. It's a town in Scotland, it's an angry ranting Northern Irish politician, it's a well-known fabric design. It's not a little girl's name.

Yes, I know Americans use it, but a lot of them just aren't very good at naming their children. No need for us to copy them.

It's a rather disappointing town a few miles from Glasgow. That I avoid going to at all costs!
The Paisley pattern originated there. I'm not sure about a name though?

NEVERRRR
Has anybody said it yet?

I'll get my coat

I would assume it’s where the child was conceived, like Brooklyn Beckham.

Ian Paisley was my first thought. Definitely a no from me.

It's awful.

“Ulster says no”

captain!

I once taught a Paizley (with a Z)... He was a lovely little boy from up north. The name really grew on me because he was lovely. If you like it I'd definitely go for it x

Like Big Ian and junior?

Hate it. Please do not do that to you child!

Terrible. Please don't saddle your child with that.

im with @backforgood

Love the pattern, dislike the name.

Much prefer Batik...

Those of you who have heard of the print but not the town...you do realise Paisley print originated from Paisley the town, that's why it's called that!

I would agree that it's not a name you would ever use if you originate or live or ever visit the west of Scotland OP.

Makes me think of the print (and thereby also of the town, I guess).

It isn’t ‘horrible’ but I don’t really like it, tbh.

My daughter is called paisley. I love it x

It’s a big town in Scotland and the print is named after the town. Never considered it as a name?!!

First thought Ian, then Bob (as a United fan a definite no-no, then the town (which I've never been to but never heard much good about) then the fabric.
Not for me i'm afraid

Why would you do that to a child - is it the Glaswegian equivalent of Brooklyn beckhan?

Generally speaking, OP, it is wise to look up on the meaning/alternative meaning or connotations of a name you like.

Have you been to Paisley??
