Brazil?

[XGOLDEN]

Thoughts on “Brazil” for a baby girl? No middle name, as Brazil in itself is kinda “out there” and uncommon, I think a middle name would be overkill. I hated it when my boyfriend mentioned it originally, but it’s actually grown on me. I know a ton of London’s, Asia’s, Ireland’s, etc.

I’d also like to add that I live in Los Angeles, so, weird names run rampant here lol. I’m seeing some great suggestions/ alternatives though! Keep me coming!

It’s a “no” from me, though I don’t like very “off the wall” names anyway.

However, if you are in the US then it seems these things are a lot more accepted. There was recently a US based poster who wanted to call her baby daughter Michigan Lyricism. She waxed lyrical (pun intended) about it and couldn’t understand why it wasn’t universally popular on here.

What a shame you think it's ok to saddle your child with an awful name because you live in LA. I do like Roma though

So it's highly unlikely that Andrew or Elizabeth would be 1 of 12 in a class? Or even 1 of 2?

You might be better using an American forum if you live in LA? Maybe Brazil doesn't have the same connotations there?

I wouldn’t be naming my child something simply because I live in a particular city, first of all. I like name and I she would most likely have it no matter where I lived... By being in LA she’s less likely to be an anomaly and there are tons of other children who also have parents who are creatives & think outside of the box. She won’t be surrounded by stuffy people who make fun of her name. And yes, Roma is quite beautiful.

If you are looking for place names

Adelaide
Florence
Paris

Unusual but not too awful names I've seen in school are

Bluebell
Storm
Odette
Peony
Liberty
Opel

Rio, Brazil boys names surely? Don’t think either is esp good whatever gender applied to.

However sorry OP I really think Brazil/Brasil is awful and if I was your child I'd resent you for it

Yes, perhaps lol. I appreciate all the comments though!

Adelaide is beautiful as well. I’ve always like that name.

Poor child

@XGOLDEN Adelaide is beautiful as well. I’ve always like that name.

I love it, there are lots of things they can choose to shorten it to as well. I always hated not being able to shorten my name

Yeah, I guess LA is so creative she'll be in a class with 3 Brazil's and 2 Brasils

Isn't Roma a kind of traveller/gypsy?

If you want something Italian how about Lucia?

Dakota? Or would it be odd to be named after a state?

Poor kid! That's her screwed when applying for jobs. I don't think anybody would take Brazil seriously. Maybe if she wants to be a stripper or lap dancer she'd be ok.
Working in safeguarding most of my adult career I have heard some silly names but this has to be the worst. You even top Isis 🙈

Vienna? Helena?

I know 2 Saffron's, beautiful name. Grey sounds nice too.

Brazil.....notsomuch.

Oh, come on. Are people really going to fall for this?

The Roma are an ethnic Gypsy group, with much prejudice against them. I would think of them long before I would think of Roma/Rome, and I’m an Italian speaker.

Please tell me your surname is Nut

At least if you call her Argentina she can shorten it to Tina.

Isn't there someone on here who's son was one of three born with that name that year in the UK and two of them ended up in the same class?

It's too try hard. Sorry 😞

Why don't you find the name of a town or flower from Brazil that will still have the link?

I dont think kids with names like Brick, Tank, Warrior etc will thank their parents as they get older and I see Brazil in the category.
