Honeysuckle

[trueblueari]

I'm not pregnant and have no plans to name a child this.

I just saw it used as a name for the first time - it was an actress - and wondered what MN thought of the name.

I think it's pretty but probably wouldn't use it due to the word suck/suckle being part of it.

Opinions?

Not my cup of tea tbh.

I really hate names like this...petal, blue, apple, bear etc.
However names can be changed by the person so parents can choose what they like.

It reminds me that I meant a guy called Huckleberry once.. Which I loved!

I don't mind Honeysuckle. The majority of MN will hate it though. Surely you know that 😂

Love it!

Rubbish. Lonicera is less stupid.

Twee and a mouthful

The only one I've heard of is the actress Honeysuckle Weeks. I've always thought it was a stage name but having just Googled her apparently it's her real name.

It's not my cup of tea at all.

So sickly sweet.

It’s a bit much.

I dont like it. The Honey part is ridiculously twee and silly and the suckle part is awful. out of curiosity was it Honeysuckle Weeks.

Don't like suckle. Honey's better.

I don’t like the suckle part.

Too cute

The suckle part is ewwwww. That child won't thank her parents as she grows older.

Absolutely not. No child should have “suckle” as part of their name. It’s borderline child abuse.

Honeysuckle Weeks has a sister called Perdita. That’s better.

Kids are mean...just remember that

I knew Honeysuckle Week's parents
back in the day. We tried to discourage her but to no avail. Her second name is Hero, which is better...

Honey is twee and the suckle bit is bound to get a child teased.

Honey isn't my cup of tea but ok (pretty inoffensive).

Suckle is simple awful.

I love it for a child. For an adult not so much.

"The Honey is twee."
Yep no argument there.
"The Suckle bit is bound to get a child teased"
However it Doesn't seem to have done HW any harm.

No but she was a child actress. It might be a bit different if you're an average kid in an average comp.

Hideously twee

I like it. Makes me think of a flowering’s plant rather than honey plus suckle.

Ignore the rogue ‘s please

Awful.
