Thoughts for a girl?

Lumi? (Loo-me)?

It's the Finnish word for snow and I think it's beautiful!

I can see her being called Loopy Lumi at school, I'm sorry but it's the first thing that came into my head.

DariaMorgendorffer · 08/11/2019 10:19

It makes me think of my sunrise alarm clock (which, to be fair, is spelt differently).

Starryskye · 08/11/2019 10:20

Halloumi

AgeBeforeBeauty · 08/11/2019 10:21

Sorry, I thought short for luminate ...

EleanorShellstrop100 · 08/11/2019 10:22

Lovely! No child uses the word ‘loopy’ surely Hmm and even if they did I’d hope their parents would be teaching them not to be bullies?

Lebkuchenlovers · 08/11/2019 10:26

I like it.

MikeUniformMike · 08/11/2019 10:38

I wouldn't. Is it a Finnish name or just the word for snow?
Makes me think of Lumea.

I worked with a lady called Lumi, short for Luminata. She sometimes went by Lulu too.

spice3 · 08/11/2019 10:58

@MikeUniformMike it's definitely a nameSmile

With his brother Hal 😆

HappyDinosaur · 08/11/2019 11:07

I don't hate it, but it isn't it also the name of a phone make? I think it could be quite pretty, but does have teasing potential, there again so does virtually every name if you think about it enough.

ncqtime · 08/11/2019 11:07

G-lumi. Also it makes me think of flumpy fat no idea why

Tonz · 08/11/2019 11:20

I just love it

diddlediddle · 08/11/2019 11:34

I think I had an acne light called Lumi Confused

diddlediddle · 08/11/2019 11:36

I meant to add, in theory it should be a pretty name but I just think it sounds too producty

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 08/11/2019 11:42

Sorry I withdrew my post because I felt what I posted really didn't have any basis. I think Lumi is a lovely name ultimately.

Astronica · 08/11/2019 11:56

I think it's lovely.

horse4course · 08/11/2019 12:11

Lemmy from Motörhead

Boireannachlaidir · 08/11/2019 12:14

@PestoPyrotechnico Grin

OP it does sound like a brand name for lightbulbs. If in the UK it would likely be shortened to Lou.

SoftBlocks · 08/11/2019 12:16

It’s lovely if you think about snow in Finland. But in uk it’s daylight simulation alarm clocks.

DrDetriment · 08/11/2019 12:18

Seriously? It's might be nice in Finnish but over here no. Just no. Too many associations like halloumi, lunatic, light alarm clocks etc.

123Dancewithme · 08/11/2019 12:19

Makes me think of “looming”

Stollen23 · 08/11/2019 12:33

I like it. It's cute and feminine imo.

MikeUniformMike · 08/11/2019 12:36

If it is a name, then OK.
Better if you have a Finnish connection.
You might find people spelling it Loomy, and Gloomy springs to mind, but yeah, why not.
Your baby, you name her.
