Anyone like either of these two for girls?

Story: is not a name.
Ivory: is a great name if you're a white supremacist.

I would think again.

kittytiggy · 07/07/2019 16:12

Agree with PP.

JoyceDivision · 07/07/2019 16:16

Neither. As above: Story is not a name.

Ivory makes me think of poachers.

historysock · 07/07/2019 16:16

No and no.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 07/07/2019 16:17

Agree with all of the above. Sorry!

PremierNaps · 07/07/2019 16:18

Agree with all of the above

Story isn't a name. Ivory isn't good either to be honest. How about Ivy?

ITA with Bridgetreilly

feelingverylazytoday · 07/07/2019 17:16

Story is a word, not a name.
Ivory reminds me of a WWE female wrestler (not that thats a bad thing, she's a lovely lady and not a white supremacist).

Blueuggboots · 07/07/2019 17:19

Awful.
What they all said ^^

timeforakinderworld · 07/07/2019 17:22

Ivory is awful. Quite like Story! Too much potential for bad nicknames though eg multi-storey!

stucknoue · 07/07/2019 17:22

Story is something you read, Ivory, well that's like calling someone cream, no, just no.

ExtraFox19 · 07/07/2019 17:23

Both dreadful sorry.

DramaAlpaca · 07/07/2019 17:25

What bridget said ^^

OhioOhioOhio · 07/07/2019 17:25

I'm interested in why you'd think Story was okay?

Ivory. Yep. Poachers.

PurpleDaisies · 07/07/2019 17:25

Awful.

Julykthat · 07/07/2019 17:25

If you say "story" to someone in (possibly just north) Dublin you are saying "hello there, what news do you have?"

I think Ivory is fine though. Ivor works as a boys name so it's like a feminine version.

Snog · 07/07/2019 17:26

How about Stork or Ivork?

Fairenuff · 07/07/2019 17:27

As always on these threads, ask yourself this. Would you like your name to be Story or Ivory?

Parsley1234 · 07/07/2019 17:30

My friend has a little girl called Story and normally I hate names like that but I love it

TurquoiseAndPurple · 07/07/2019 17:52

Story is one of my favorite names! For either a boy or a girl. I know a guy named Story. His great grandfather was/is an unbelievably famous author so the name fits him perfectly. And then there's a woman namsz Shelby Sheen on Instagram with 4 kids and one of her daughters is named Story. I absolutely love it. Please go for it 😁

As with many names, unless you meet/know of someone with it it's sometimes hard to picture it on a person/baby.

MikeUniformMike · 07/07/2019 18:03

Storey is better than Story - may be ok as a middle name but not as a first name.

Ivory - nice but makes me think of elephants, tusks and poachers.

AverageMummy · 07/07/2019 18:07

Ivory just makes me think of elephant poachers

Story.... wtf ?!

AverageMummy · 07/07/2019 18:08

Ivy is lovely though
Ivany is better than Ivory

Nonnymum · 07/07/2019 18:09

Sorry but I've never heard of either of those names. Are you from the UK?
