Morticia

[FluWorldOrder]

Call me crazy but I love it has anyone ever met a Morticia? I wouldn’t use it but I’m tempted..

You really can’t. But I sympathise, I loved Narcissa when I was choosing a name for dc2. Fortunately he was a boy it would have really suited him

Why would you want to call your child 'Death'?

Jesus no

Just no. It's an invented name from a spoof horror show.

I prefer Pubert.

I know what you mean, OP - it does sound lovely.

How about one of the Welsh names that sound similar instead? Morgain, Morgan, Morwenna, Morvaid etc?

Ha no, but I do like Wednesday

I'm sure there's an adult out there who would really suit the name and wear it well (not sure I'd like to meet them lol) but you've no idea what your child will be like. I imagine most would grow up hating it.

This reminds me of someone coming on to ask about Lucifer.

I knew a Morty once, but he was a boy and Mortimer.

Once, twice, thrice no.

@Soubriquet

I like Lilith

And she can shorten it to Lily

At least it’s a real name

A real name?

Is Wendy a real name?

Morrighan is a Celtic goddess of death. At least sounds a bit better than Morticia.

Morrighan is very cool but they are very badass death and battle goddesses....on the other hand, 🤔

Love the responses I wouldn’t, but I do like it!

@Gassylady

But Lilith is a biblical name! We’re they very religious?

Lilith was Adam's first wife who then turned out to be a she-devil.

It's cute but I wouldn't. I think you might be able to style out Wednesday though, depending on your surname!

Morticia's a purrfect name for a slinky black girl Kitty. But I wouldn't risk it on a DD! Similar Morgana has a more subtle "witchy/dark" feel and is much more useable for a real person imo.

Morticia Wednesday I dare you.
I think it's brilliant and she'll be the only one.
I hate it when the teacher says a name and half a dozen kids put their hand up.

She could have the nn Tish, Tisha, Morti

Please don't

You do understand that Morticia along with Dementia are made up cartoon names from the Addams Family?

Oh FGS, yes I do. Most names are 'made up'. Lighten up! As I say in the OP I wouldn't, but I'm tempted, because I like the sound of the name. Nevaeh-Mae Destiny Hope it is then.

I'm officially buying a black cat and calling it Morticia. I do like Wednesday. Maybe if it's a DD born on a Wednesday I'll go with that. I doubt DH will be keen though, unfortunately.

@FluWorldOrder I'd missed the lighthearted bit and stupidly thought you were serious :)

Please save this name for a pet, not a poor child!!!!

@SionnachRua

It's a bit like Jezebel. Cracking name but I couldn't do that to a child

This ...
