I came accross this girls name I had never heard of recently and wonder if people like it. I suppose Renee for short would work well.

Hmm

It was invented for the twilighT books as a portmanteau of the protagonists mother's names (renee and esme) so everyone will think you're a super fan of tween vampire romance if you do it....
the main woman is called Bella which accounts for the explosion in baby Bellas around a decade ago.

It's Twlight innit. Combo of Renee and Esme I think. Haven't read it so may be wrong.

SunnySomer · 09/01/2020 08:37

How do you pronounce it? Rennes-mee? Reens-me? Ren-esme?

avocadochocolate · 09/01/2020 08:37

It's your choice. Personally I prefer traditional names.

Collision · 09/01/2020 08:37

It’s awful

GertiMJN · 09/01/2020 08:38

It looks like reeny - smee to me.
So no. I don't like it.

DullPortraits · 09/01/2020 08:38

How very strange as i also did via a facebook friends post and wondering if we share people in common now OP Shock

BuckingFrolics · 09/01/2020 08:39

Imagine having to spell that out for people all your life. Go on, imagine it. Have mercy on your poor child

Sunsetsandmoons · 09/01/2020 08:41

I would have no idea how to say it.

GrannyBags · 09/01/2020 08:44

People will struggle to spell/say it. Why not just go with Renee with Esme as a middle name?

macdhui · 09/01/2020 08:47

Truly awful

Idontkowmyname · 09/01/2020 08:48

I’m not a fan but at the end of the day it’s your call. Imo there’s no name that will please everyone

Cohle · 09/01/2020 08:55

You will look like a massive twilight fan girl. That's not personally something I would want.

Letseatgrandma · 09/01/2020 08:56

You will forever be thought of as a Twilight fangirl. It’s dreadful.

Dandelion1993 · 09/01/2020 09:03

It's from twilight and people will just associate it with that.

I didn't know it was from Twilight as I haven't read it. On the dark greener baby names website it is rising in popularity but still not used much.

I think it's completely horrendous

Gottobefree · 09/01/2020 09:09

It's from Twilight. I would avoid

SentimentalKiller · 09/01/2020 09:09

missmarplesapprentice · 09/01/2020 09:18

It was created in the Twilight Saga so as other PP's have said you'll forever be known as a fangirl of the films....and you don't want that (even if you liked the books/films)

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 09/01/2020 09:19

It’s not used much for a reason.

GameSetMatch · 09/01/2020 09:21

It’s awful in my opinion, I’m not keen on those types of names I prefer ordinary, traditional names.

RightOnTheEdge · 09/01/2020 09:26

I read all the Twilight books years ago. I thought it was a stupid name when I read it.

OhMeows · 09/01/2020 09:28

Absolutely terrible made up name. Even Twilight fans thought it was ridiculous.
