Minnow?

[pottop]

I really like the sound of Minnow for a little girl. It seems really lovely and sweet on the tongue. I am aware it is a fish, but it doesn't seem that different to being named Willow (which is a tree), or even after a flower or another animal. I'm also aware I am technically naming a grown woman (if the baby is a girl) but I can actually see it being a very fitting name.

How do you like it? What would be your first thought if you met a little girl named Minnow?

You can Also name his brother with A suitable fishy name too and when someone asks his name you can say “Don’t tell him Pike!”😃😃

Guppy is nicer

oh god no. what an absolutely awful name!

@Sunnydaysandsalad

Another name for bullies to carp on about...

Ha ha very good

Stingray is catchy.

I love the suggestion of Meryn

Also love Muireann (Mwirren)

Oh gosh no! Absolutely not. May sound pretty but it’s bloody horrendous! How about Minnie?

YY to Guppy (they are fab little fish).

NN to Minnow.

Nn for Marianne?

Probably not I'm afraid.

How about:
Willow
Minerva
Minette
Harlow
Meadow
Winnie

If I ever have twins I'm going to call them Minnow and Willabelle.

It hasn't held back nicola sturgeon....

Hardly the same when Sturgeon is her surname .

Flipping heck. This may be one of the worst suggestions I've seen on here!

Just no.

Change your name to Minnow for a few days to test it out, then you'll have an answer!

Seriously. Why are so many parents determined to give their children ridiculous names that have to be either repeated or explained every time they use them? I feel that they should be getting pets rather than having children.

The rule of thumb is usually that if you have to ask...

My dc have a book about a little boy called Minnow.

Horrendous. No.

As a pet name you call your child at home - fine.

As their actual, real life name that they’ll also have to use as an adult - yikes.

I know a Minnia, that’s much nicer.

Ugh I really hope this is a wind up. However nice the word sounds, you can’t name your daughter after fish, give your head a shake. It’s not the same as naming after a flower!

Aw this was my dd’s nickname !

Doesn’t minnow mean like runt? I wouldn’t go for it personally.

There's a cafe near me called Minnow. It's a nice cafe.

No. Just no.

Haddock for a boy, scampi for a girl.
