Me and my hubby are trying for our rainbow baby and I love the name sailor.

I actually like it a lot. I don’t see how it’s anybworse than Taylor, which seems to be considered a pretty normal name now, if not to some people’s taste.

I wouldn’t use it though - other people’s reactions (eg on this thread) would really put me off.

I wouldn’t mind being called Sailor either... It’s definitely more interesting and memorable than my real name!

If you do this you will setting your child up for a lifetime of ridicule.

Why in the world would you want that?

God no. Sailor is awful.

If a man approached me and introduced himself as sailor I would honestly think he was taking the piss or trying to be funny.

KateTTC123 · 07/11/2018 10:14

I like it :)

Ihavethistoo · 07/11/2018 11:48

Absolutely ridiculous

Ihavethistoo · 07/11/2018 11:50

If your so confident that it's an amazing name wtf would you ask on here.

I'm
Snorting at it because I keep singing 🎤 "what shall we do with the drunken sailor what shall we do with the drunken sailor"

🤣😂🤣😂

This thread 🤣🤣

🚣‍♀️

FairyHeet · 07/11/2018 14:40

No no and no again.

It is completely ridiculous

MsTSwift · 08/11/2018 17:58

My test with these names if you like it so much why doesn’t your dh change his name to Sailor? If he baulks at doing so there’s your answer...

Surely an adult changing their name to anything would be seen as slightly unusual?
