Bluebell for a girl?

[ohhmus]

Or have I gone mad?

Well I don't know if I'd like to be called Bluebell as a worn out mother of two under 5s in my late 30s!

Also it's the name of my son's favourite stuffed bunny toy so it's a no for me.

Sorry, I really wouldn't. Sounds like a cartoon character. How about Heather?

It’s a pretty word but I don’t think I’d like it as an adult.

I think Geri Halliwell called her daughter this.
Shortens to a couple of cool diminutives but I'm not keen myself, it's a bit clunky sounding.

No. Better as a pet's name imo.

I know a 9 year old Bluebelle and she is the least flowery girly girl ever, so it really doesn't suit her. Seems like her parents wanted/expected a different type of child....

You've gone mad

Yeah, I'd echo pp. Cutesy for a toddler, but a 40yr old woman?!

God no it’s horrible and twee and really not fair to lump a child with.

You are a leeetle bit mad. Might be cute at 4, but when she’s 40 with 2 kids and a stressful job she won’t thank you.

Middle name though? Or Blue is actually more workable.

Make it the middle name?

I like it.

Sorry way too cutesy. Sounds like a ragdoll cat.

Thank you for your honesty I could make it a middle name, no idea what first name would go with it though

Flower names can be tricky for girls who aren't 'girly',especially if they're not commonly used . Bluebells are lovely flowers but I think I'd avoid as a name.

Makes me think of Geri Halliwell- and I’m sure that’s not a look anyone willingly goes for.

I'd feel like a bit of a fanny if my name was Bluebell. Passable for a middle name.

I love it! Blue for short!! Or Belle.

I never usually comment on a name threads, but just love this!

I know, I thought it would be cruel but it's so pretty Maybe a more formal first name and Bluebell as a middle name

Lovely for a French bulldog, awful for a person. Sorry!

I've never seen the point of middle names unless to honour a dead relative or the married person's maiden name. (Scottish thing).

Bluebell is wasted as a middle name! :)

Nooooo @breatheslowandtrust

Bluebell the Bulldog! No no just no! :)

Wrong on so many levels!!

Now Bluebell Jones! That's better!

Will teenagers call her Blue Balls? Am I the first person to think of this?

Its a traditional cows name -google bluebell and cow

I used to work with an adult who was actually called Tinkerbell. Not surprisingly she didn't tell anyone it was her name and used her middle name.

Olive Bluebell ..pretty name .
