Put me off this name!

[Pleasedontdrawonyoursister]

Imminently due with baby 3, which we think is a girl (didn’t ask at scan, but I saw the lines and certainly no other bits floating around down there!). I love the name Honey, which I wasn’t brave enough to use the last 2 times but this time round I just can’t think of anything else I want to use. My OH is not keen at all, but he hasn’t put forward any suggestions. Help!

What about Mielle??? (Miel = honey)

There was a great thread on here a while back with a poster who wanted to give her daughter a ‘sweet’ name - candy floss or peppermint or something - because she looked so sweet and there were some great suggestions... will try and find it.

From those suggested above Sadie would be great. I like Sidney.

Dulcie is a beautiful name and really goes with your other dcs names. I don't think Honey is of the same name 'type' if that makes any sense at all!

No for all the reasons above. Plus I know if someone on here put up a post saying they overheard their husband on the phone saying "hi honey", there would be at the very least suspicion if not jealous rage. I know I'd likely avoid calling Honey as much as possible in those situations if I were her boss, for example. Meaning poor Honey's career is stalled yet again...

It's hideous. And it breaches boundaries which are so important for children and young people. Everyone, whether friend or a perfect stranger or a teacher or a creep from work, calling her a term of intimate affection and endearment? No, no, no.

Esme, Marnie and Debbie.
Deborah means Bee, let her be your little honeybee at home only.

I love it it too. It was the top of our list 💛 (got a new fave now, fx we'll get to use it one day!)

Esme, Marnie and Dorothy spring to my mind.

If you like Honey, go for it but in my humble opinion it's not in the same league as your older daughter's names.

Sorry some people are being so rude 🙈

For a child yes for an adult no... Honour?

@babyyorkie same for us re surname 😂🙈

I rather like it, but as a nickname or short form. Or as a middle name. As pp have said, names like Melissa, Dulcie, Deborah all relate to honeybee or sweetness.

Oh please don’t. Lovely as a nickname but as an adult it would be hard to take seriously somehow. Having your name called out at an interview or appointment or the stick she would probably get at school if she didn’t fit her name in terms of appearance or personality. It sounds hookery. Your older girls have lovely name. Please don’t burden your next with this.

I also had a hamster called Honey as a child. I think it's ridiculous, imagine being an adult and having to say that's your name, and no it isn't a nickname?
Also Honey boo boo.

Nopety nope no.

Your two daughters names are lovely though! Come now, don't be mean to the poor wee babe.

If you really love it use it as a middle name or hyphenate it ie sarah-honey/ susannah-honey. I don't think its a "first" name. Think of her future university and job applications, whislt people shouldn't judge or discriminate, they do. My 2nd dd has a very very old english name, i had NEVER heard it before (until i found a 'celeb' with the same name urgh!) and the looks i get when people hear it can be awful. She is 7 now whilst she loves her name as it is unique i know she will be in for a life of funny looks and raised eyebrows.

Fearne Cotton has a daughter called Honey.

I just find it really cloying and cliched.

Ps: @donquixotedelamancha wins this thread for “Biggest LOL of the day so far”

It sounds like a stripper or a child of Jamie Oliver. I think it's ridiculous. Lovely pet name for someone but give her something with a bit of class for when she's grown up.

Also: Jonathan Ross’ daughter is called Honey Kitten (I think)

eye roll

When I was pg and knew I was having a girl I wanted to call her Honey Beatrice. Honey Bea.

Some people are being rude, but I did ask for it I guess . Thank you for your honesty, I still love it but I do appreciate it might not suit as they grow older. I didn’t know about honey boo boo...wtf!!

Beatrice (Bea) would be an option but my close friend has one already. I am keen on Dulcie though.

Bonnie?

Jonathan Ross's daughter is Betty Kitten not Honey.

He has a daughter called Honey too. Betty Kitten is bloody awful.

Honey Kinney and Betty Kitten. His DS got off lightly.

It's a little girl's name. She might want to be a judge when she grows up.
