Savannah.

Husband is totally set. It isn’t a name I have ever really come across and is very different to anything I’d normally pick.

I am so on the fence as to wether I love or hate?

Oh I like that. I have heard it before but I doubt it's common. I guess it just depends if you want something more mainstream or not?

I should have mentioned that we already have a boy called Noah.

I like it. It's the name of a character in one of my favourite series of books so I may be slightly biased towards it!

When I lived in Winchester, it was the name of a shitty club

Bit tacky

In all honesty I dont like the name. I know someone who's daughter is called Savannah and I just cant like the name

Hepsibar · 11/02/2020 21:30

I really like it.

ironicname · 11/02/2020 21:31

It makes me think of an exotic dancer.

missmouse101 · 11/02/2020 21:34

I agree with it sounding a bit tacky. Like Chardonnay!

ilovepixie · 11/02/2020 21:34

Isn't one of Peter Philips daughter called that?

ElfishBiatch · 11/02/2020 21:39

I don’t like it.

Kanga83 · 11/02/2020 21:44

I don't like it. It's in the Chardonnay, hyphenated names and Nevaeh camp for me.

DeanaWinchester · 11/02/2020 21:45

@bakingcupcakes otherworld?? Love the name

AfterSchoolWorry · 11/02/2020 21:46

Dated.

RickOShay · 11/02/2020 21:47

I like it. I think her sister is Autumn which I also like.

clpsmum · 11/02/2020 21:47

Love it and think it sounds lovely with Noah. Both gorgeous names

Ihaveamind · 11/02/2020 21:47

It makes me think of the American South. Think it goes well with Noah.

tomatosoup4 · 11/02/2020 21:47

I love it, it was 2nd on my list for Dd we chose Scarlett in the end.

Shockers · 11/02/2020 21:48

I don’t know why, but whenever I hear the name, I see it as beige. I see some names as rich colours and some as bland- Savannah is a bland colour, and that puts me off it.

Odd, I know.

A savanna or savannah is a mixed woodland-grassland ecosystem

Did your DH not do geography at school?

Go for Susannah instead?

bakingcupcakes · 11/02/2020 21:49

@DeanaWinchester Yep Otherworld. I have them all and have re-read them lots!

Likethebattle · 11/02/2020 21:49

I know someone with a daughter called Savannah. It’s nice.

daisypond · 11/02/2020 21:49

I like it. I know a couple in their early 20s.

HeronLanyon · 11/02/2020 21:51

I think -
Georgia. Always love it as city name.
Africa. Wildlife.
Name - feels a bit 90s (?) to me. Not fond of it at all but who cares. If you love it use it.
Congrats bye.

HeronLanyon · 11/02/2020 21:53

Btw.

nicslackey · 11/02/2020 21:56

We have a distant relative with this and to be honest we all roll our eyes, sorry reminds of Chardonnay etc. Very towie
