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.

I think it's a great name OP, and you should definitely have another child so you can use it. If you have a boy, may I suggest 'Bush'?

Hmm

In a Jamaican accent it's three Grindon't do it op. Imagine every time your child introduces herself

JaneJeffer · 14/02/2019 13:00

JaneJeffer · 14/02/2019 13:09

Or maybe Ivy? It's got the Ee sound and short name, also nature themed

zen1 · 14/02/2019 13:14

How about Sapling; Sap for short?

JaneJeffer · 14/02/2019 13:15

S'up Sap?

Butterfly005 · 14/02/2019 13:23

I can see how it could be a beautiful name, OP.

MikeUniformMike · 14/02/2019 13:50

How about Bush, Sapling, Shrub or Branch as alternatives?

DoingMyBest2010 · 14/02/2019 13:56

Tree? with Peaches and Apple as sisters?

" Not to everyone's taste" Are you for real? That's because it's ridiculous, poor child if it grows up with that name

TheVanguardSix · 14/02/2019 14:09

Pull the other one. It’s got bells.

MikeUniformMike · 14/02/2019 14:28

How about Twig, Log or Bark?

Peachbubble · 14/02/2019 14:47

Er no

Youmadorwhat · 14/02/2019 14:48

Oh dear lord DONT do it please!!

"Be a tree"

It's so... inanimate. Stuck. Plodding. Why would you want it to be associated with your child?

Beetlewing · 14/02/2019 16:26

I like it.

Sazquatch · 14/02/2019 16:30

I went to uni with a girl called Tree. I think her name was Tracy really. As far as I know she’s a super successful something or other in New York now.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/02/2019 16:39

I quite like it. When kids are called Oak Meadow and Bramble ect. Why is Tree any worse. However I'd put a more formal name on the BC. Catrina or Teresa.

SilverySurfer · 14/02/2019 17:28

I prefer twig or bush personally. I don't know what you're on OP, hope the trip was worth it.

CarolDanvers · 14/02/2019 17:33

There really seems to be some competitive taking the piss on the baby names board at the moment. Absolutely not!

sagradafamiliar · 14/02/2019 18:08

Are you trunk?

simonisnotme · 14/02/2019 18:17

ridiculous

Parthenope · 14/02/2019 18:39

I prefer Tree to George. Honestly.
