I thought of this lovely girls name today so thought I would share as I've never heard it as a name or even suggested as a name.

It would also be a lovely middle name.

Really?

Only ever heard it as a NN for Teresa.

EssentialHummus · 14/02/2019 11:07

No, sorry.

ShowOfHands · 14/02/2019 11:09

Middle name Frog?

Beautiful.

Yes it just popped into my head and I love it. I prefer shorter names though so dislike Teresa.

I'm not having any more dc though so thought I would share as it is never suggested as a nature theme name and sounds fresh, simple and modern

it's not a girls' name in any real sense of the phrase.

Awful.

Pinkyyy · 14/02/2019 11:17

I'm sorry but it sounds ridiculous to me, perhaps a sibling named Leaf?

Will you eventually have a son and call him branch?

I know it won't be to everyone's taste but I think it would be the type one could to grow to like.

It is short. Ends with the popular 'ee' sound. Rhymes with many other popular names. Has nice imagery attached. Strong positive values tied to it.

Anyway it popped into my head so I thought I would share it here in case anyone was interested as I have an interest in names and have never heard of it before.

No need to post that you disagree as I know many would dislike it straight away as it is unusual Smile

No.

Sakura7 · 14/02/2019 11:29

This would be child abuse OP.

There is a reason why you've never heard of or met anyone called Tree.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 14/02/2019 11:31

I suppose there’s a good reason you never heard of it being used as a name.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 14/02/2019 11:31

Oh snap, Barton.

I honestly didn’t see your post.

spanishwife · 14/02/2019 11:32

It sounds like an Irish person saying 3 - it's up there with IKEA and Emee-Leigh IMO

Charley50 · 14/02/2019 11:32

Willow sounds much nicer. Tree isn't a particularly nice sounding word, much as I love trees.

madcatladyforever · 14/02/2019 11:39

Please God no. What's wrong with normal names.

Parthenope · 14/02/2019 11:40

Hmm

Twickerhun · 14/02/2019 11:41

No! That is all.

Aprilshowersarecomingsoon · 14/02/2019 11:41

Are you out of yours op?

Calloway · 14/02/2019 11:43

I like a hippy dippy nature name but Tree is a bit prosaic Grin

Godowneasy · 14/02/2019 11:49

No!

ItsAllGone19 · 14/02/2019 12:50

Honestly, I like nature names but Tree sounds like a masculine name rather than a feminine name.

Puts me in mind of the Phoenix family (River, Rain, LeafJoaquin, Liberty & Summer)

SemperIdem · 14/02/2019 12:53

Umm no.

Sage, Rowan, Winter etc are all significantly more useable.
