... for a girl?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Esther?

If you want a glam cool name what about something like Vita or Viva?

linz0308 · 31/03/2018 19:44

no

DD shared her party with another girl who invited her cousin, Vesper, there were lots of raised eyebrows and mentions of mopeds.

Varsha?

RockafellerSkank · 31/03/2018 19:52

Love it.

MrsHarker · 31/03/2018 20:56

I love it

Grim.
Why on earth would you saddle your child with a name she'll spend the rest of her life having to explain/spell?
If you feel the need to be so 'out there' change your own name and deal with it, not the poor baby.

Unusual, but that’s better than having the same popular name as another 10 girls at her school.

JennyHolzersGhost · 31/03/2018 21:13

You do get the tacky sexual connotations of naming a girl after a bike, don’t you OP?

Neolara · 31/03/2018 21:16

Dreadful

pepperpot99 · 31/03/2018 21:19

Vespers is the name of one of the Christian services in a monastery. Calling your dd 'Vespers' would therefore be ridiculous.

pepperpot99 · 31/03/2018 21:22

You may as well call her 'psalm' or 'evensong'.

Vespa - evening prayer beautiful.

Uniglo18 · 31/03/2018 21:34

I used to know a Vida in college. Vespa is too Bond girl and also with the scooter reference it's too try hard.

I like it but would also be concerned about the teasing later in life.

I thought Eva Green was fabulous so I’d go for Eva!

Uniglo18 · 31/03/2018 21:46

Yes Eva is a good idea and not so much as an obvious Bond reference as Vespa.

AndromedaPerseus · 31/03/2018 21:51

Love it and she was JB’s first love

Vesper was the name of a brand of pantyliner back in the 80s.

Anxiouschild · 31/03/2018 22:47

How about Vester as an alternative OP? A nice and little-used name IMO. DH vetoed it
I like Vesper but, as with a PP, it's too tied to Bond in my mind.

BikeRunSki · 31/03/2018 22:55

Vespa = moped
Vesper = evening prayers, or a type of cocktail
Vesper Lynd = Bond girl with made up name
Vesta = curry

Ginger1982 · 31/03/2018 23:19

My God, don't do it!!

MollyHuaCha · 31/03/2018 23:31

How about Vanessa instead?

Onceuponatimethen · 31/03/2018 23:34

Love Vanessa
