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.

Willow?

If you go with Mallory, I like the idea of two middle names. I'd make the first of these a one-syllable name, e.g. Mallory Jane Kimberley Smith.

Mallow is 100% not a name for a human. I love Mallory though! Although I agree it doesn't really go with Kimberley. What about just having Kim as the middle name? Or Marion Kimberly?

I pronounce it with an 'a' sound. So yep, the name makes me think of marshmallows. And I bet that will be her nickname all through school no matter how you pronounce it.

Why would anyone pronounce marshmallow as marshmellow?

Marshmallow, sorry.

Mallory is nice.

Awh. It's funny to see this here as one of my lovely guinea pigs died yesterday and he was called Mallow :( it was short for marshmallow. But I always say if you love a name then you love a name and you should use it :)

Another vote for no sorry - I can only think of marshmallow. What about something like Meryn?

Are you joking

@Popcornismandatory

I think that's a really cute name.

For a baked good or for c cartoon character

Town in Co Cork, Ireland. You could pretend the child was conceived there. Covid restrictions meant you couldn’t fly anywhere so got the ferry and train to Cork, boi.

As in Flumps ?

No don't call your child Mallow

The ad jingle for these biscuits went: -

Kimberly, Mikado
and Coconut Cream
Someone you love
will love some, Mum

These are all types of marshmallow biscuits (and that's marsh with an a pronunciation)

Don't do it!

Willow maybe?

That's not a name.

Kimberly is bad enough but Mallow??. Mallory Towers - Boarding School.

Not taking this seriously.
But I will answer anyway.
It's a good name if you want your DD to be forever known as marshmallow which we all know are big, pink and squidgy.

How about -
Mella
Willa
Willow
Mara
Mila
Mira
Merryn
Marlowe/ Marlo
Mallory (and shorten Kimberly to Kim)

Not Mallow..

Sounds like marrow

Either stuffed marrow or bone

Emily is nice?

If you add a short name between Mallory/Malorie and Kimberly I think it could work...

Mallory Iris Kimberly
Mallory Ava Kimberly
Mallory Jade Kimberly
Mallory Tara Kimberly
Mallory Lila Kimberly

Or what about Mila, Willa or Willow?

Marsh-mello in the East Midlands too. I didn't know anybody pronounced it marsh-mallo?

@SweetBabeofMine Mallow is a pretty name, nn Mel. Go for it. She can sit next to Willow.

Marsh mallow is a flower as well as the sweet.
Hibiscus is another name for the flower, if it is the flower you love.
Yarrow is a pretty flower name too. I think of it as a boys name.

Mallard?

Marsh-mello here too. Never heard anyone say marsh-mallo. Also from London.

But yes not a good name for a human.

@IslandLulu

Why would anyone pronounce marshmallow as marshmellow?

Really?!

There are these things called regional accents where people pronounce thousands of English words differently depending on where they are from...

OP, do you like any of the following?:

Maëlys Kimberly
