Girls name 'Beige'

[isthisaname]

So I met someone earlier and her daughter is called Beige. She's a preteen.
Is this a name anyone has ever heard of? I've only ever known it to be a colour.
She only wrote it down so I don't know how she pronounced it.

You sure it wasn't breige? (Breege)

What an insulting name.
Beige is used to describe something dull/plain.

Unless she misspelled it (twice) it was defo Beige.

Hmmm not sure I like that much.

I'm wondering if it's possibly a name in another culture maybe? It just seems so strange. I wish I asked how she pronounced it.

Paige?

@ZenNudist the woman in question typed out the girls name. I don't think it could have been a misspelling.

Yes, it's a word often used to describe something as boring these days, so I'm not sure I'd want to name a child after that concept.

Is this in the UK, OP? What's the family background?

She typed out her name when she was talking to you?

Who knew

Beige I have never heard of but I'm not keen on it. Navy and grey are modern girls' names and I can't say I like them either!

That’s AWFUL. Who would call their child that? Urgh

Yes, she typed it out. It was at an appointment. I'm being deliberately vague.

The lady was white British as far as I could tell. She also had an unusual name (although it was one I had heard of).

Non gendered names... What a load of hooey. And to choose a word signifying dull and boring just about sums these nutters up.

That is literally the worst name ever! Is there anything more morning than Beige?? It’s not even a nice sounding word.

Think I prefer Taupe or Magnolia, tbh.

The lady seemed to be perfectly 'normal' and used she and her to talk about her daughter.
Now I'm wondering if it was a misspelling and she copied and pasted rather than re-typed??

Grey is quite trendy now and that has the same image as beige, I’d say. Bland background colour.

Blue as a name seemed popular some years ago. Are Grey and Navy really being used as names now?

Beige......hmmm, quite a nice sound, but awful colour.

I feel like a child called Grey is going to spend the rest of her life repeating her name several times to so many people who are going to think they heard 'Grace'.

There was a thread a while back in which a mum wanted to call her child Teal and I didn't really get that either!

Indigo I quite like. Can't stand beige though, what a boring colour it is too!

The worst thing is- it’s the most boring colour!! When people describe something dull it’s often described as beige.

At least magnolia could be shortened to Maggie!!

I love unique names and colour names like Grey, but Beige is a step too far in my opinion, just purely because for me it's a synonym for plain/dull/boring as another poster said.

Poor child.

Oh dear, Beige, damning with faint praise.
