Fern?

Thoughts on the name Fern please 😊

Love it.

Love it. Simple and unfussy. That spelling only, no extra letters required.

Lovely.

Lovely. Simple, classic and easy to spell.

Love it i dont have a daughter but i would have chosen this Gentle and feminine go for it.

Loved it ever since I read Charlotte’s Web as a child. Sadly it didn’t go very well with our surname so dd missed out.

It’s alright...

Thanks all - nice to get some positive comments 😊 I think it's lovely. Still only on the 300s according to ONS stats, I wonder why it's not more popular...

I think Fern is lovely in its simplicity. This is the only spelling I like though, good luck!

Loved it since I first meet someone with that name 30 years ago. It seemed so exotic to me back then.

I love Fern. Pretty and simple. I’m surprised it’s not more popular too. Even with the rise in nature names I don’t see much more attention on Fern. The Charlotte’s Web association is lovely as well.

It’s a yes from me.

Lovely. Works well for any age too, unlike many girls’ names.

Really like it, my dd had a friend at Primary School called Fern back in the 2000s. Its a name that never seems to date.

Lovely.
I know a little Fern, she’s lovely and her mum gets loads of compliments on her name.

I wonder why it's not more popular...

I think it might be partly because it’s only one syllable and therefore doesn’t work with many shorter surnames - that’s what prevented us from considering it anyway.

Other than that it’s lovely - simple, fresh, timeless lovely foresty nature connection. Don’t like any of the alternative spellings though.

Defo a Yes from me. Lovely name

Pretty name!

I think because it's a name that was relatively popular not that long ago, maybe the 50s and 60s, it's maybe got that 'mum name' association for people who are currently having babies. So people who are looking for a nature name might pass this one over as not being cool enough.

Just my theory. It's a nice name though.

Yep, you may be onto something- and the fact that it's one syllable, which is offputting for some. I think it's due a come back though!

Awful. Sorry.

@Theoldwoman

Awful. Sorry.

Oh well, can't please everyone

Love it

DS would have been Fern if he'd been a DD - I love it.

I have one 🙋🏼‍♀️ Such a lovely timeless name
