Eartha?

Not that I'm pregnant, or planning to be again, but I just thought of Eartha Kitt and then it occurred to me that you never hear anyone else ever called that. What do you think of it? I quite like it, once I take it away from the singer connection.

I'm afraid I just think of the cockney rhyming slang.

"I'm just going for an Eartha."

Nope.

Ertha Kitt = shit.

I don’t dislike the name but you can’t do it.

I did not know that MawkishTwaddles Shock

I'll take it off the miracle baby after snip and menopause name list.

Oh no, I love it! I wanted it for DD but dp vetoed it and we settled on Nina (Simone) instead.

I love Nina too RatRolyPoly, in fact it is a pet name for one of our dds. Great choice!

No, but Gaia is a great name.

I know a baby boy Fitz, short for Fitzgerald, named after Ella!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 27/08/2018 13:39

Yes, I came on to suggest Gaia too ! 😄

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 27/08/2018 13:41

I LOVE Gaia!

My DF often exclaims he's off for an Eartha Kitt. Shit.

foxtiger · 27/08/2018 17:27

I don't like it because although I'm sure I'm supposed to think of planet Earth and all sorts of lovely hippy stuff, I just think of earth the substance (like mud)!

I actually like the name, but “off for an eartha” (take a shit) ruins it a bit
