Do you like the name Seven for a girl?

[Indecisivemom]

My husband and I are curious as to how the first name Seven would be for a girl. The number is significant to us biblically and means the number of completeness, as she will be completing our family. There are many other reasons behind Seven.

Is it too out there, or is it cool?

Thanks for any input!

Doesn’t Reece Mogg have a septimus?

No, he has a Sixtus. I googled.

Look I'm a fan of Star Trek voyager a big fan but I would not name my child seven

Awful

What a way to give your kid a complex.

If you really wanted to do that you'd take the imaginary name Seveni and add a real name to it.

No.

Seven is an awful choice. Makes you think of the Borg, the Prisoner and serial killer movies. Gemma would be a lovely name, or Septima if you are set on a number. I really don’t understand this need to give children totally weird names that will only cause them grief when they begin school.

I’m not a fan, and my kids have unusual names

Erykah Badu

It's awful. She'll spend her entire life having to explain why she has such an odd name to people. You're naming a human, not a pet. Give her a name that won't single her out as ridiculous....

I’d say no, and I love unusual names.
It’s a pity Septima isn’t that nice either.

Seren is lovely though.

I had a great aunt named Septima, we called her Septa. She was the seventh child.
Would that work for you?

Why? There are enough absurd names around without this.

Erykah Badu - not someone whose judgment I would give much credit to.

Her children are Mars Merkaba Thedford , Seven Sirius Benjamin and Puma Sabti Curry.

Having googled Erykah Badu I see these 3 names are not her only questionable decisions. This is a woman who defended Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, played a concert for the birthday ofSwaziland's ruler ,King Mswati III, Africa's last absolute and serial human-rights abuser. And apparently sees something good inHitler. (She praisedHitler's paintings)

It’s a no from me .... all I think of is the seven deadly sins . I wouldn’t want my child associated with that

Seven of nine is who I think of.

Numbers have a lot of sinister connotations when used as a name, not rtft sure this has been mentioned. You need to watch The Prisoner again maybe!

No from me. Middle name, ok.

You can't be serious? How would you like it if your parents had called you a ridiculous name?!

Just because a name is questionable to you doesn’t mean it’s questionable to everyone. I get that this is a thread meant to help critique and give feedback on baby names bu t at the end of the day to some people even basic af names like Paul, Lucy, Louise are “questionable”.

Erykah Badu is a musical legend.

Paul, Lucy, Louise are “questionable”.

No they are not. They are plain , ordinary names which won't raise any eyebrows anywhere. Calling a child "Seven" or "Puma" or "Curry" is bloody daft.

As for Ms Badu she has made some very questionable decisions. I don't have much respect for anyone who defends the vile examples I have listed.

It's not my kind of name but it's quite cool. Definitely ok to use as a middle name!

I am still smarting that I got an absolute bollocking on this thread for my comments and was called old fashioned and narrow minded, yet many have said much much worse😂🙄.

I didn’t think I was narrow minded or old fashioned, but may be I am😊. I do remember a character is blossom who was called six. A huge amount of jokes were centred on this name, apparently it was how many beers it took for her conception.

But hey that’s mumsnet for you.

Its beautiful, go for it

What about septimus, means the seventh I believe.

Why would you???

Absolutely no to 7

Gemma is a lovely name

No.
