Everest?

[readysetcake]

DH and I can’t decide on any names at all for either sex. It’s getting ridiculous with approx 6 weeks to go, if I follow my first.

My 2.5 year old says the baby is called Everest (yes, from paw patrol 🙈). In my madness I’m actually considering it. Is this just hormones and desperation clouding my judgement. Or would it be acceptable?

For a girl or a boy?!

Everest for a baby? I just can't get over it.

I'll get my coat.

I work with a man named Everest if that helps. He is in his 30s, and nobody but me batted an eyelid about his name

AyeAye.

I like it

Chase is better.

Dgs1 wanted to call his brother Romeo after the baddie in PJ Masks. Like you OP my dd started to seriously consider it as she didn't like any names at all by late pregnancy.

I love the name Everard - same vibe but more legit

No. It is either a mountain or a double glazing firm.

I'm with @GnotherGnu - can you imagine the teasing - hey Everest, can I climb you?

No!

My ds goes to Nursery with Marshall and Skye. Even he at 3yp says "but no Rocky or Rubble mammy".

Dont do it. Or save it for a middle name.

No way can you use this name OP. Get thinking of another one!

Some of these responses have made me and DH chuckle I think the hormones are a little less today and I’m thinking more clearly. Agree with MrsJosh it’s a shit name. Back to the drawing board!

I really like it, particularly if pronounced the 'proper' way

Fit the best, fit Everest 🤣🤣🤣double glazing 🤣

I’ve always quite liked Zuma! But seriously, no. Glad you’re going back to the drawing board. Are there ANY other names you like? It might help us give you some suggestions that are not characters from children’s tv

No names we really like. Especially for boys. Just ones that are, meh ok.
We both prefer more traditional names but that then limits your choice and none seem to be jumping out at us. The front runner at the moment for a boy is Owen. But neither of us say it with much conviction.

I didn’t know there was more than one way to say Everest? @CollinsVeryJolly

Well you would be naming him/her after one of the most important imperial cartographers en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Everest

Which I think will outlast the horror that is paw patrol.

Well Levison woods says ever-rest and that puts me off.

How about Ben short for Ben Nevis

Evan?

What's the name of your little one, to give us some idea of what you may like ?

I think the correct pronunciation of the surname of the guy it's named after was Eve-rest.

Which I think sounds nicer as a name.

Just found this as I started to doubt myself

How many people have died climbing Everest?
Who was the first man to scale Everest?
Don't do it OP!
