Tiffany was a barmaid, she was Grant Mitchell’s wife after Sharon @happymummy12345 and Bianca’s best friend - which is probably why her daughter’s named Tiffany . I am only guessing this as I haven’t watched Eastenders in decades.

Instantly think of Eastenders. Definitely not due a comeback yet

@happymummy12345
Tiffany was played by Martine McCutcheon. It was in the 90s. I think she was killed off in an accident.

ElizabethMainwaring · 14/03/2020 03:44

She was run over by Frank Butcher!

Very Eastenders

Awful

waltzingparrot · 14/03/2020 08:03

I know of one that got nicknamed
tit-fanny

dancingbadger · 14/03/2020 08:12

I like it. The only Tiffany I've met was actually really quite posh spoke 4 languages and very elegant so I suppose it depends on who you've met and the connotations with them.

Bezalelle · 14/03/2020 08:33

Really pretty and due a revival. The French Tiphaine is also really nice.

LadyEloise · 14/03/2020 08:40

I just think Donald Trump.
He has a Tiffany ( with Marla Msples )
Anything that reminds me of Donald Trump is a no.

Isthistrueor · 14/03/2020 08:49

Horrible. Went to school with one, huge chav.

LadyEloise · 14/03/2020 08:59

Also why would you call a child after a jewellery shop.
As someone said upthread at least it's not Argos.Smile

If you love it go for it.

florababy84 · 14/03/2020 11:36

An alternative version, also from the middle ages, is Tiphaine. Which I think is lovely.*

Oh God can you imagine the uproar if someone posted on Mumsnet, "I'm thinking of calling my new baby Tiffany, spelled Tiphaine, WDYT?"

I have to say in and of itself, it is a really pretty name but it has negative associations now, as PPs have said.

allthedamnvampires · 14/03/2020 11:44

It'll be shortened to Fanny

Flymetothestars · 14/03/2020 12:39

It’s ok. There was a Tiffany in Made in Chelsea. I always thought her sister Lucy got a much nicer name though.

Whydoesit · 15/03/2020 06:56

I do think Trump, but people won’t do in 10 years time.

I don’t mind Tiffany but I do like the nickname Tiff but seems I’m the odd one out there!

Itwasntme1 · 15/03/2020 18:50

I am not fond of names that evoke strong associations - Tiffany, Samantha, Kylie, Rhiana, Britney etc.

But if you like it, go for it.

robin04031402 · 15/03/2020 20:09

If you like it OP then go for it!
You will never find a name that everyone likes!
Life is too short

s3tut0y3r · 22/03/2020 08:01

It's a pretty name. There is also a variant spelling Tiffanie

KittyJune · 22/03/2020 10:01

I would think of either a) a bleach blonde playboy bunny 2) a stripper 3) American ‘trailer trash’ type 4) Eastenders. None of these are positive connotations for me!

Robyn578 · 23/03/2020 14:09

Not for me.. Makes me think of Biancas daughter in eastenders

BoggiesBonnieBelle · 24/03/2020 06:04

I think it sounds pretty, but I've now got "I think we're alone now" going through my head. School friends wouldn't make that connection though.

KatherineJaneway · 24/03/2020 06:06

I think we're alone now 🎶

HowIrresponsible · 24/03/2020 19:39

Down market?

Breakfast at Tiffany's

The jewellery brand

Unfortunate · 24/03/2020 23:07

I quite like it and as others said, probably due a revival at some point.

I associate with the names Felicity and Penelope for some reason, if you wanted some alternative ideas not that you asked
