Is this a nice name? Or not?
Thanks!

The famous Eartha Kitt was a real sex symbol . Look on YouTube .

Sorry, but it's awful.

PurpleDaisies · 15/11/2019 22:22

Awful.

Can't hear it without thinking of Eartha Kitt.

It's harsh sounding like Bertha or Arthur. Wouldn't be my choice and I'd feel some pity for a child to have such a name.

Well, we all know what an Eartha Kitt is slang for ...

ChicCroissant · 15/11/2019 22:24

More likely to think of the rhyming slang than the singer.

dontlickthelamp · 15/11/2019 22:25

I like it

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 15/11/2019 22:25

My first thought was Eartha Kitt too.
She was a real seed symbol of her time and a brilliant actress too.
I think it's an unusual name, but I like it.

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 15/11/2019 22:26

Sex not seed... Thank you auto correct.

IfWishesWereFishes · 15/11/2019 22:28

You hear Eartha, you think Kitt, you think shit.

Nope nope nope 😬

veryshop · 15/11/2019 22:28

it's the first time I have ever seen a name suggestion on Mumsnet that I like and could comment on! it's a beautiful name x

Gooseygoosey12345 · 15/11/2019 22:30

I immediately thought Eartha Kitt too so I guess it depends on whether you're comfortable with the association, probably won't be relevant to your DC's generation though

A friend of my parents had a t-shirt with Jim Royle on it saying "I'm off for an Eartha Kitt".

Sorry, it's a no from me.

Notsurehowtofixit · 15/11/2019 22:40

Not.

ilovetofu · 15/11/2019 22:44

I love it!

ilovetofu · 15/11/2019 22:45

Good for a cat too!

Raphael34 · 15/11/2019 22:45

Eew? Really?? Makes me think of earthworms

teabagleftin · 15/11/2019 22:53

I’m going for an Eartha ... nope 👎🏻 💩

8Iris8 · 15/11/2019 22:57

Ah. I didn’t know about the rhyming slang. Back to the drawing board.
Thank you for your opinions everyone. I think it’s a nice name but I wouldn’t want to saddle her with a name that she would eventually hate us for haha :)

👍👍👍

AuntieDolly · 16/11/2019 09:01

What about Gaia? It means 'earth'

Omashu · 16/11/2019 09:05

Yeah it’s a shame that the rhyming slang has kinda ruined that name. I’d never use it but it is a nice name!

orangeteal · 16/11/2019 09:09

Like Bertha?

WildCherryBlossom · 16/11/2019 09:16

I've never heard of the rhyming slang. Shame. I quite like it. How about Martha?

Crystal87 · 16/11/2019 09:22

Horrible. My first thought was Eartha Kitt / shit.
