This name makes me wish I could have another daughter. I never thought of it when I was having babies!

I absolutely love it. Happy and sweet and punchy. I wouldn't use it though as a lot of people say it's a stripper name.

RedDwarves · 10/08/2018 03:24

It's awful. Stripper name, for sure.

PremierNaps · 10/08/2018 03:33

Makes me think stripper 😁

Urbanbeetler · 10/08/2018 06:20

How to demonise something sweet!

Love it but sadly could never use it because of all the stripper stuff! In reality it doesn’t seem to have affected Cherry Healy in her career. I think more unusual probably make people more memorable overall anyway!

TheDowagerCuntess · 10/08/2018 06:37

Just no. It's a total fluff name.

TheDowagerCuntess · 10/08/2018 06:38

As in, it's up there with Honey.

I know one aged eight. Awful name.

I like it as a nickname for Cheryl.

MadisonAvenue · 10/08/2018 08:57

It’s awful.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 10/08/2018 10:58

I would think Hippie mother.

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 10/08/2018 11:02

I don't like it sorry. How about Sherie?

TidyDancer · 10/08/2018 13:00

I really really love this. It's one of my absolute favourites but I would never use it because of the stripper comments.

ADastardlyThing · 10/08/2018 13:24

Awful, just awful

MayFayner · 10/08/2018 13:27

No, because of the slang connotations.

RavenWings · 10/08/2018 14:41

Definitely a stripper name.

Jennyvenice · 10/08/2018 14:46

Awful. Way too cutesy (and with stripper-y connotations). Would not translate well into adulthood.

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 10/08/2018 15:55

I really like it! If Ds2 had have been a girl, he would have been called Ceirios, which is Welsh for Cherry Grin

LoveInTokyo · 10/08/2018 16:37

Horrible.

SumAndSubstance · 10/08/2018 16:49

I once had a teacher whose name was Cherry. How we laughed when we found that out! There was nothing sweet about her, mind you.

SemperIdem · 10/08/2018 18:30

I don’t like it however do know an adult one. She’s not a stripper, she’s a scientist.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 10/08/2018 18:39

Sorry not keen either. It's seems very dated to me probably because of Cheryl.

MikeUniformMike · 10/08/2018 18:45

I think it's way better than Sherie, which i've not seen before.
It could be short for Cherith if you want the obligatory MN-approved BC name.
I also like Sherri, short for Sherrin. I know it's a surname.

Urbanbeetler · 10/08/2018 21:29

It feels powerful in a retro way. A strong bright colour, like Scarlett or Ruby.
