Thanks!

It knocks the spots off other names I've heard recently.

SallyWD · 04/06/2020 21:20

No

Sister for Ludo?

Jojo19834 · 04/06/2020 21:22

As above 🍕

Thisismytimetoshine · 04/06/2020 21:23

It's not quite the stupidest name I've ever heard, but it's definitely got a place in the Top Ten.
Why do you want your child walking round with a name most people she meets will think is dumb?

Level75 · 04/06/2020 21:24

Pizza

bookmum08 · 04/06/2020 21:24

Why don't you just use Minnie if that's what you like.

CuppaZa · 04/06/2020 21:25

No

curtainsforme · 04/06/2020 21:25

Is your baby a Dalmatian?

JoeExoticsEyebrowRing · 04/06/2020 21:25

No. My first thought was Bond Girl, the pizza, neither are probably things you want people to think of when they meet your little girl.

Angel2702 · 04/06/2020 21:25

No she would be saddled with a lifetime of pizza jokes.

bridgetreilly · 04/06/2020 21:26

Minerva nn Minnie
Wihelmina nn Minnie
Clementine nn Minnie
Even, I think, traditionally, Mary nn Minnie.

Not bloody Domino, ffs.

JoeExoticsEyebrowRing · 04/06/2020 21:26

*then pizza

Talisin · 04/06/2020 21:26

@curtainsforme

Is your baby a Dalmatian?
Or a Bond girl?
JoeExoticsEyebrowRing · 04/06/2020 21:27

I'm not a huge fan of Minnie either to be honest - for me it's either Mouse or a twee name for your vulva!

Destroyedpeople · 04/06/2020 21:29

You might find that once your child has this name..everyone will follow you in quick succession..

But seriously no. It sounds like a dog or a pony.

HeavyDeuty · 04/06/2020 21:32

Lol! I'm enjoying your responses! I do quite like Minnie (my childhood love of Minnie the Minx has left a mark, though I'm aware her full name is Hermione), but it just isn't a full name to me. I enjoy the sound of Domino, though I appreciate lots of people will think of pizza...not a great association! Hadn't heard of the link with the vulva...also definitely not a great one!

Maybe more of a guilty pleasure than an actual contender then! Clementine is a contender. I like names you don't hear all the time, but I also don't want to pick something for the sake of being different.

A bit obscure, but I knew this name from the movie 'El mariachi'. I quite like it, but I don't think it works very well in the UK, as the above responses show.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 04/06/2020 21:35

Are you giving birth to one of the X-men? If so, great!! If not...

bookmum08 · 04/06/2020 21:36

I did not know Minnie the Minx was actually called Hermione !!!!
Must Google this.....

diazapamdependent · 04/06/2020 21:37

Pepperoni passion please!

namechange5575 · 04/06/2020 21:38

I was thinking, make it feminine? Domina? But then that sounds like dominatrix, so an additional tick for unsuitability.

CherryPavlova · 04/06/2020 21:40

No. I know there Dominoes. They’re all Dalmatians.
