Honey

[Mumzywumzy2]

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Honey for a girl?

I love it

What Hunnifer isnt an ACTUAL joke ?! 😲

@Mrsknackered racking my brain trying to think of a spice name. Can't think of any?!

@MrsElvis Saffron

I know an Honor who gets Honey for short sometimes. Works better as a shortening written down than spoken I think.

Gail Porters daughter.

I'm considering the name also. I love it but like OP go swings and roundabouts about it. Reminds me of Matilda... again another name I'm considering

All you have to do is imagine it on a 40 year old woman to realize that it’s ridiculous. You’re not naming a baby.............

I like it but it does sound a bit like a stripper name.

“I like it but it does sound a bit like a stripper name“

How can those two thoughts exist in your head at the same time?

Honey G

Op

I actually quite like it

I like it but don't think I would use it.

Think Gail Porter has dd called honey and it really suits her.

I met a Honey once who was late 40s/early 50s. It was a bit odd if I'm honest - in a professional capacity people sound like they're being really over-familiar calling her Honey, but then you remember it's her actual name! But I'm sure if you know them you get used to it!

Now, Honey is cute. I still call my nieces baby/little one/bear cub/darling but they have respectable normal names for the outside world.

Now imagine Honey going for prime minister, or being lawyer, police officer, youth worker etc etc. Give her a normal name like Harriet and keep honey as a cute nickname in the home. Makes life so much easier as PP 'Harriet would you like a lift' instead of 'Honey would you like a lift home' makes nobody feel uncomfortable.

I love it and know a teenage Honey

What about Honeysuckle? Like the actress, Honeysuckle Weeks (not sure if that’s her real name). Anyway I like Honeysuckle and you could always shorten it.
Not keen on Honey on its own for the reasons given above.

No, it's one of those cutesy-pie names which people think are great on a toddler but don't work on an older woman. My daughter's nickname as a pre-schooler was Missy-Moo but there's no way I'd ever have given it as a proper name.

Honeysuckle Weeks was named by her very very young parents. (I was there!) it is the sort of name teenagers give their children, real or imaginary.........

Sounds like it’s a winner then 😂

Melissa is honeybee in greek. Meli is greek for honey and dd does get called that sometimes. I liked Melissa as there were a couple of famous and successful ones in the news when she was born who were in their 40's so it wouldn't always be cute. I like Honeysuckle though and also in France Miel meaning honey is a first name too.

I think it’s utterly adorable but I’d never name a child with it. Cute for a baby and a toddler, not so cute for a 55 year old woman

I've heard worse names suggested. I actually rather like it, but then I wouldn't use it either. Second the suggestion of Melissa, which means bee, or maybe you could use Meli, which means honey in Greek and where we get the French miel or Italian miele. Or you could use Dulcie or its variants, meaning "sweet".
