What names do you consider “twee”?

[MBb217]

Let me know!

Molly
Milly
Poppy
Daisy

Etc

Also all hyphenated names Ellie-Mae etc

None really.

I know some family's who I perceive as rather 'twee' but it's not down to their names.

And some towns that are 'twee', again nothing to do with names.

Katie and Susie immediately spring to mind.

And then misspelt names like Charlee. DD is at school with a Charlee-May, which is quite a double whammy, twee-wise, for the poor girl.

Alfie
Teddy
Freddie - most nicknames as names tbh
Poppy
Daisy
Finn/Finley
Milo
Mia
Noah
Delilah
Evie
Hugo
Heidi

Misty.
Dixie
Pixie
Trixie
Maisie
Tansy
Topsy
Kitty
Lindy
Gracie
Tilly.

Sophie
Gracie
Maisie
Alfie
Charlie
Teddy
Archie
George
Molly
Millie
Matilda

Lottie
Lettie
Tish
Dot

What do you think. OP?

Dolly
Teddy
Bunny
Kitty
Bunty
Princess

Generally anything too cutesy that sounds like it would be better on a pet bunny than a human being,

Betsy
Dolly
Poppy
Missy
Etc

@Onceuponatimethen

Also all hyphenated names Ellie-Mae etc

Yep, these too - Georgie-Mae, Rosie-Mae, etc

I think double-barrel names with names like Daisy can sound too cutesy for me

O god both my kids names are on here

When I was in hospital having my baby, there was a woman who’d named her baby boy Bertie-Ray. That was so twee, it made me feel slightly sick.

Some of these names sound twee to me. Others sound like Appalachian Hill Billies from the first half of the 20th century!
Ellie-Mae....as in Ellie May Clampet from the Beverley Hill Billies!
Same for Opal, Pearl and Ruby. Ruby, like the Kenny Rogers song. Minnie-Pearl from the Grand Ole Opry and Hee Haw.

I asked this question because all my names I like kept getting called twee so it turns out that’s the type of names I like and I need ideas lol

Poppy. Yikes. That is one silly sounding name.

Most names ending in y/ie as mentioned. Mary and Felicity sound alright, though, somehow.

There's nothing wrong with a twee name.

Mine is on lots of these lists here, and i don't think it's done me any harm!

Both my children’s names are on the list, I do not see them as twee or cutesy as they’re named after the oldest people I know!

Pick a name you love, everyone will have an opinion and mumsnet seem to dislike lots of names that are very well liked in real life

Any name whatsoever if it’s paired with one of these middle names; May, Rose, Lily or Grace.

Anything double barrelled - especially with may,
Maisie,
Posey,
Primrose,
Clementine,
Otillie,
Arabella,
Annabelle,
Beatrice,
Florence.
I just imagined someone calling their daughter Maisie-May and cringed so hard my soul left my body.

Then i realized it probably has happened at some point.

Look, it really doesn’t matter!

I admit - there are some names on here that I would be sooo annoyed with my parents if they have the name to me, and would no doubt end up using my middle name.

But ultimately - people become more than their name, and if the person is not twee, that’s the main thing.

All of the them sound like dogs names to me. But then I suppose I’m boring and our children were straightforward Christian names and not ‘trendy’ or fashionable but just traditional. Which thankfully now they are adults suits them.
