Mallow

[SweetBabeofMine]

Due a baby girl in November and this name keeps on popping up but I'm worried it will be a little too out there? It's a lovely flower and it seems to fit well with the middle name Kimberly. Plus it's the only name I love, the others I have shortlisted I just like.

Please do not call your child Mallow.

How about Malo?

Londoner here and I'd pronounce Marsh-mellow

Marley ?

Love Mallory.

Mallory Kimberley is fine, bit of a mouthful but honestly people don’t say both first and middle names together much.

(Hate Mallow)

100% Marshmallow. I know it is the name of an actual flower but it just Doesnt feel like a real name for a human tbh.

What about Marlow or Mallory/Mallorie they are very similar sounding but actual names.

As in Flumps ?

Good God you can't lumber your kid with flump for the rest of her days. Just no.

Call her Mellow if you must, just steer away from the confectionery aisle.

I like Mallow.

Pretty name.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned the popular Irish mallow biscuit Kimberley.

It’s bloody awful

Imagine being called Mallow.

Her nn would be Marsh from day one at school. Mallory Kimberly just doesn’t work or flow. Back to the drawing board @SweetBabeofMine!

The middle name doesn't matter. Full name including middle name will only be used on forms and by you when you are cross with her. If Mallory YourSurname works then go with Mallory.

I’d vote Marlow / Marlowe over Mallow...

Harlow? Hallie?

Go with Mallory but insert another middle name to break it up a bit. A single or double syllable name would work?

Mallory Rose Kimberly
Mallory Alice Kimberly
Mallory Jane Kimberly
Mallory Charlotte Kimberly
Mallory Taylor Kimberly
Mallory Florence Kimberly

Advert from my childhood.

For what it's worth I say Marshmellow too. I guess it's a weird regional thing.

I'd pronounce Mallow as Mallow though.

I can't say it particularly grabs me as name. Mallory seems better. It will very rarely be said with the middle name so the fact that it's a bit of a mouthful doesn't really matter.

As well as the delish biscuits mentioned, Mallow is a town (and train station) in Cork.

@TorkTorkBam they were mentioned

I thought of a Tunnocks Mallows personally

I do like Mallory though!

Marshmallow, immediately.

Never heard anyone say it with an 'E'.

Willow maybe?

Mallow does just make me think of marshmallow

Mildew? That's quite nice.

Marshmallow

Yes me too !

I like Mallow! I immediately think of the flower.

(Not really relevant but Londoner here and I pronounce it "marshmellas")
