North?

Ok so we are still coming up with names. We are in our 2nd trimester now so we've still got a while to finalize our choices.

A name we've found that we like too is North. Just to be clear, absolutely no connection to Kim Kardashian whatsoever. Can't personally stand her, but I really like the name and the nn 'Nori'.

Would love to hear your opinions if that's alright :)

‘come at this from the perspective of someone who knows an infant Xavier, a ‘Persephone (how ridiculous - she was always going to be nicknamed Percy with the Poncey parents). But just as super posh names are risible, super chavvy names just are totally labelling too.’

Love the name Xavier so don’t agree with your example there. However I agree with your other name being awful.

Nori just makes me think of Sushi
North is awful
Baby deserves a good name to see him or her through life xx

@Yutes That made me fangirl a little :) Finally someone on this thread has played it/seen the game! I pay very minimal attention to the Kardashians as well. For example I know of them, I know a few things about them, but I don't watch any of their shows, read about any of their "news" etc. Just that I know her daughter is called North.

Again, guys it's not on the top of our list. Was just curious of your thoughts on the name.

@AlyTab girls names inspired by dr who by any chance? 😍

sparkling123 · 01/07/2018 12:16

I like Nori, it's cute but think people will associate North with Kardashians, even if you don't

AlyTab · 01/07/2018 12:52

@DwangelaForever haha well I am a big Doctor Who fan I admit, but surprisingly no. I just like those names. The fact that they are in doctor who is just a bonus :)

@schnubbins ok, was there any need for that? Just say you don't like the name. If you bothered to read any of my previous posts on this thread, I am not naming our child North. The point if this thread was just to see what people thought of the name in general, but you can do that without being rude.

@AlyTab I had the same when I was pregnant with my daughter, absolutely love the name Clara!! Hubby didn't 🙄

@DwangelaForever that's such a shame! Clara is a beautiful name. It's an awful thing when your SO or parents don't like your baby names 😑. The worst is "it's ok". It's a stressful experience!
