None.

isabella2 · 11/09/2018 20:29

Quite like Eden but for a girl. Quinn is ok.

GoodHeavensNoImAChicken · 11/09/2018 20:29

Quinn is nice.

I’m sorry I don’t like any of the others at all.

Please don’t name her Panda.

And remus and lupin, are you a Harry Potter fan by any chance?!

MsJolly · 11/09/2018 20:29

Are you in Australia?

The only boys name is Eden
The only girls name is Quinn

Other than that it seems like you are just trying too hard.

Namethecat · 11/09/2018 20:30

Confused It's a no.

ajcon · 11/09/2018 20:30

@GoodHeavensNoImAChicken I'm not actually, must be coincidental!! These are my more out there names, I've got more normal ones on my list but was looking for opinions on the unusual ones Smile

I can't rank them I don't like any as they aren't actual names.

ajcon · 11/09/2018 20:31

Can see what the reaction is though, will most likely stick to the more normal ones! 😂

All horrific. Eden or Tig at a push would be the ones I’d chose.

Sierra259 · 11/09/2018 20:33

I would say Eden but for a girl, and Quinn but for a boy! A friend of a friend has a boy called Elden which is similar?

Not at all keen on the others.

changingoftheguard · 11/09/2018 20:34

Quinn but for a boy
Eden for a girl
Sorry I know their the wrong way round but I think their lovely names! Just the opposite of what you suggested

Zigazagazoo · 11/09/2018 20:34

Quinn is ok and Eden for a girl. The rest all sound like pet names.

ajcon · 11/09/2018 20:34

@changingoftheguard Quinn was on the boys list too actually, I was torn between whether I preferred it for a girl or a boy! Smile

OP posts:
Twickerhun · 11/09/2018 20:36

No! Don’t do any of them

ClandestineAdulation · 11/09/2018 20:39

Eden is nice for a girl, as is Quinn but I don’t like any of the other names...

I heard you call it out in a park, I’d expect a dog to come running

NameChangedNow · 11/09/2018 20:42

Remus
Sylvester
Pandora nn Panda

All fine.

changingoftheguard · 11/09/2018 20:42

I think it’s more suited for a boy but Eden and Quinn are lovely little names.

AfterSchoolWorry · 11/09/2018 20:45

Boys:
Eden -blah
Lupin -a flower
Remus -Romulus, twins, their mom was a wolf
Sylvester (nn Sylver) -cartoon cat

Girls:
Bindi -sequin for your forehead
Gypsie -twee
Panda -a bear
Peri - menopause
Quinn -a surname
Tiger - woolly

charlottetaylor93 · 11/09/2018 20:53

Wouldn't do any of these! Pandora is nice and you could nickname to Panda. I think with any of these your child would be bracing themselves for raised eyebrows/comments every time they introduced themselves...

Shadow1234 · 11/09/2018 20:58

Eden and quinn are the nicest two.

pixieloux · 11/09/2018 21:08

Eden and Quinn are unisex so you could get away with both. I prefer Quinn for a boy but it has usage for girls so nobody would bat an eyelid. Eden is predominantly feminine in usage which is something to think about - Den as a NN may add a more masculine feel to it.

I personally wouldn’t use any of the others especially not Bindi, Gypsie, Tiger and Panda.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/09/2018 21:09

Only like Quinn at a very huge push

Cbeebiesrehab · 11/09/2018 21:38

Eden and Quinn-for either sex

RuthW · 11/09/2018 21:40

Eden and Lupin are girl's names. I like Sylvester.

RavenWings · 11/09/2018 21:41

Eden - nice
Lupin - no
Remus - nooo
Sylvester - nooooooo

Bindi - Bindi Irwin. I like it.
Gypsie - jesus no.
Panda - Grin Grin Grin Pandora, if you must (better to be named after ugly jewellery than that!)
Peri - Written as Perry, sure. Not great but ok.
Quinn - better on a boy
Tig - Meghan Markles old blog, or a cat.
