Thoughts on Parsley as a boys' name??

[InterestingWasabi0]

I know it could sound ridiculous, but it occured to me a couple of weeks ago and for some reason it's really grown on me? I just love how natural and sensitive it sounds.

I know a Parsley but she is a girl. I got used to it to be honest. Basil is one of my favourite boys names but dh wouldnt hear of it.

Lettice is a Victorian name that I've always loved! I can just imagine myself in the park..'Come here Lettice darling'. 😂
I also have a relative on my family tree whose first name was Crabtree?!

Do you have a dog called Dill? Awful name for a child, great for a green lion 🦁

Parsley the Lion.
Don't be so ridiculous. You are naming a person!!!

Is your son going to be a rabbit?

I think that Parsley is an excellent choice.......as long as you call the next three Sage, Rosemary and Thyme!

This is another human being you are naming, remember, not just your cute accessory.

Am so going to try and remember this, for other Baby Names Threads

Prefer Spikenard or Woodruff but Parsley’s ok 😉

I read your thread title a couple of hours ago OP and thought Parsley was a silly name. But it's grown on me since and now I quite like it
Yeah, but pretty much everyone's initial reaction has been 'WHAAAAT! That's a stupid name'; even if it has grown on you OP, do you really want your DS to go through life with people laughing when they hear his name - it would be very wearing, wouldn't it?

BASIL!!!!

It's fine if you have three more called Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Parsley in German is Petersilie - call him Peter, then you're really calling him Parsley (sort of) and still giving him a proper sensible (and in fact very underused these days) name.

NOTHING has made me laugh as much as this thread has for donkeys years. Seriously.

Can I go off piste and suggest Zebedee?

I'm not keen on the spelling - Parsleigh or Parsli or Parslee would be better ?

I’m a very friendly lion called Parsley.

Why not give it a French twist and call him Persil?

Elvis Parsley?

In German parsley is petersilie so how about Peter. Nice and normal

Parsley could only work if you come from a long illustrious line of clowns

Oops posted too soon. Meant to add

I quite like it but it could be hard to live with. I would consider it for a dog though and I've taken more time deciding on my dogs names than the children's.

Parsley is a woeful name but It might grow on me...... in Thyme....

Yup it's ridiculous

My sisters friend has a Zebedee. It seems quite normal now!
