Cherry

[Urbanbeetler]

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

I quite like it, but the "pop your cherry" meaning would make it unusable for me. How about Cerise, which is French for cherry, and it's a colour too?

[Pinkvoid]

Definitely a stripper name . Or Cherry Healy ...

[Cariadxx]

For those saying cherry Healy..... isn't her name Chelsea?

And it's a terrible name anyway... pop your cherry.... sounds like a stripper

[Gillyhicks]

Can’t believe all the ‘stripper name’ comments!

My name is Cherry and whenever I introduce myself people always say how lovely it is. I have never been teased about my name, I’ve been offered places at red brick universities and graduate jobs at good companies, so it has never been seen as unprofessional. People always remember it and often say how it’s such a warm, friendly name.

I agree with the earlier poster who says how to demonise something sweet!

It's a lovely name. I've never heard of the stripper connotations. Some of you lead filthy lives obv.

[MikeUniformMike]

I think it's nice too. Not sure what strippers are called.

I know a Cherry who is 18 and she's not a nice girl

I went to primary school with a Cherry, a Sherri and a Cheryl. They were all awful, bullying, chav girls.

I work with sex workers – they're all called Ava and Evie and Freya now. I even met a Sadie the other day.

I actually think Cherry is lovely, which surprises me, because I'm normally a fan of strong, classic names. It just has something bold about it that appeals.

My first car was called Cherry and my best friend said it sounded like a strippers name

[Pompom42]

I like it and think it's sweet, first thing came into my head was it sounded American not stripper at all

[Summersup]

I think Cherry's a lovely name. I don't think stripper at all, but then I don't think stripper about hardly any names.
