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.

If you want a herb name Basil is much better than Parsley.

In a word - don't!

On what planet...? Give yourself a slap OP

its really grown on me

Am picturing pregnant woman sprouting garden herbs like some kind of earth goddess.

It’s not a good name for a human, but you know that already

I prefer parsnip

What about Borage? Or Fenugreek?

Or Garlic?

Are you taking the piss OP?

Parsley? I've no Thyme for that.

It's quite a nice name for a rabbit

Chive?

Basil and Sage are both lovely if you’re looking for herb names! Dill could possibly work too. Or if you’re looking for a similar sound perhaps Percy

Flat leaf or curly?

Are you mad in the head? Please don’t do this to your child ... YABU

I know a female Tarragon

I think it sounds bonkers. I'm not sure why because some other herbs work aa names, particularly Basil and Rosemary.

I know a girl called Sorrel. She has an older sister called Honey.

I do think Thyme Lord is rather inspired.

But not sure anyone would truly think Parsley was a good name - just saying - nothing to see here.

Though yes Rosemary - perfectly lovely and nice name.

Thanks all for reminding me of I'm a dog called Dill. Or possibly Hector a better name ( he may be a wise old Hector)

Are you on glue?!
Just no.

Surely I'm not the only one for whom Fawlty Towers makes 'Basil' impossible as a name? It can only be said in a vicious hiss, Sybil-style.

Ummm...NO!

Linda Snell is not an "uppity busy body"- how very dare you! I love Linda.

Would you like to be called Parsley yourself op? Next occasion you meet new people try it out. There's your answer. Poor kid.

Get a cat and call it Parsley - you still get to use the name but spare your child a lifetime of ridicule.

I adopted my DS so this is a genuine question....what is it about pregnancy that makes women go completely bonkers when choosing names? Is it just the hormones or something else?

No, OP. Just no.

Parsley and his brothers Flatleaf and Curly.
