Would it be silly to consider the names Heather and Fern if the surname is Green?

Other names were considering is Alice and Isobel.

Thanks X

Yes, I think so.

Alice and Isobel are both lovely!

Heather is lovely and goes fine. Fern doesn’t really unfortunately.

Not a massive fan of Alice or Isobel.

Yes it is silly. Along with Teresa, Sage and Emerald.

I think Heather works well. Alice and Isobel are both beautiful too, you can't go wrong with any of those 3 in my opinion:)

I do think both sound a little strange with "Green" but not extremely so. Most people wouldn't notice.

Alice is lovely and would be my preference on its own but I think Isobel flows more nicely with the surname.

Thankyou, I think the fact I am asking the question means they probably are a bit silly with my surname, fern more so than heather.

I’d say Heather is fine but not Fern. But Alice is my favourite of all your options. Beautiful, classic, underused name that everyone knows.

Heather sounds better than Fern.

Oneandabean · 16/09/2020 15:55

Love Heather sounds fine, not so keen on fern. Alice is lovely but very popular and Isobel is fine much prefer Isabelle though again very popular

GreenJellyBean · 16/09/2020 16:36

I love Heather, I don’t think Heather Green is silly however if you’re worried about it and there are other names you like I’d say go for something different, some people will look for anything to make fun of with names - kids in school etc

North98 · 16/09/2020 16:44

Thankyou, were going to keep Alice & Isobel as our top two choices.

Heather is alright but I don’t think you can use Fern. Shame as it’s a lovely name.

Cecelori · 17/09/2020 02:45

Fern and Alice love
Heather and Isobel far too over used and abit depressing

missmouse101 · 17/09/2020 03:15

Heather sounds gorgeous. Alice is a really wet name imo and Isobel is absolutely over used and consequently everywhere. (Also 'is a bell green, no it's silver' type jokes could easily crop up.)

Emelene · 17/09/2020 03:34

Sorry I think Heather Green and Fern Green sound like paint colours.

Alice and Isobel are beautiful though! Smile

I thought Heather Green sounded like a new housing estate!
