Obviously call your child whatever you like. Cartia is a nice alternative ☺️

KSxx · 19/11/2019 21:47

it's definitely not at the top of my list but it is on there!! I will obviously when I come to that point of my life use a name that my future partner and I like, but it's nice to know others opinions even if some are rude and not the best aha. Thankyou all though I do appreciate it x

It's not that I'm not a fan of jewellery, I am, I love it. But brands have associations and they might be positive for a while and then become a bit downmarket or unfashionable over time. It's risky.

What about a precious stone or a semi precious stone. Or ''Jewel''.

SlightlyBonkersQFA · 19/11/2019 21:55

Actually, what about Cassio after another more modest brand of watch. But short for Cassiopeia the astrological constellation ?? I'm not mocking. I like that.

@SlightlyBonkersQFA

Beautiful name, but I'm not a huge fan of the "s" sound in names! Thankyou for the suggestion though.

I've never heard of the brand Cartier, so I don't associate the name with it, I just adore how it's spelt and sounds,
Thankyou x

Cartier?
Only if your surname is Bresson.

soph7777 · 19/11/2019 21:59

No don't do it. I love Cartier watches but it's chav as hell for a girls name sorry

KSxx · 19/11/2019 22:04

I'm not "doing anything" not expecting and definitely not having children any time soon, just a name enthusiast

Oh no OP. Chavtastic name. I do know an Armani slight change of spelling to Amani (as that's how they thought Armani was spelt).

WorldEndingFire · 19/11/2019 22:19

It's a surname derived from old English, like "Carter", as in "one who transports goods". It's also a brand name. Hard pass from me.

KSxx · 19/11/2019 22:23

not a fan of the meaning either but love the name

It just reminds me of the elderly nun saying it with a limp wrist at the end of Sister Act when the nuns find out that the lounge singer's real name is Dolores van Cartier.

So that's a no from me!

GrumpyHoonMain · 19/11/2019 22:29

Do you like Bijou - means jewel in french?

Love Ruby for a girl in terms of jewel names, always have

KSxx · 19/11/2019 22:32

such a good suggestion thank you, but I'm not that fussed!! @GrumpyHoonMain

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha. No.

Chavtastic.

Are you quite young, OP? Cartier is very famous. I'm not "into" jewellery but it seems very strange to have never even heard of it.

Anyway, please, for the love of whichever god you fancy, step away from the baby names websites.

RJnomore1 · 19/11/2019 22:34

Siblings:

Chanel
Armani
And the twins, dolce and gabbana.

@YourOpinionIsNoted

I don't understand why my age has been mentioned or why it would matter in this situation? Just because I haven't heard of a so called "famous" brand doesn't mean anything. I do not wear jewellery or watches myself. And as for "stepping away from baby name websites" I will not as I enjoy researching names and finding beautiful names that I might use in the future. Thankyou for your opinion:)

SoftSheen · 19/11/2019 22:50

Awful, awful, awful.

KSxx · 19/11/2019 22:51
