Jonquil

[Greendaisydays]

Pronounced Jon-kwil a name I’ve always liked and nature related bur is it too much?

For a girl, I assume?

I’m not keen.

Far too much

It's a fecking daffodil. Behave.

Too much for me but so are some much more common names and I quickly get over myself when teaching and see the person rather than my prejudice so if you love it, why not.

No. Sounds (although I know it isn’t) like one of those Americanised made-up “yoonique” names.

It's a boy's name I assumed

Boys' name. I'm familiar with the name, but I really don't like it.

@BalladOfBarryAndFreda I think it’s a girls name

Sounds like a drug.

Reminds me of old fashioned boarding school stories. I'm sure it's one of the flower names that used to appear in them, like Primrose.

Oops, just googled it and it's a girl's name. Sorry. I really thought it was a boy's name.

Jonquil Cholmondeley-Farquarson likes hockey and lashings of bread and honey in the dorm after prep.

It is positively awful.

I think it's lovely.

I used to know a Jonquil. (And yes, female.)

I think it’s rather pretty

No

It sounds like a mouthwash

I used to know a Jonquil at school. I think it's pretty (she was horrible though!)

I knew one, she must be in her 60's now.

I generally don’t like these kind of names but don’t mind this. I would assume it’s a boy though!

Only if they have siblings Sheneil and Danae.

it's quite a clunky word

I have never heard of it as a name. It's a beautiful sound and pleasant to say.
For some reason it makes me think of clowns, but I couldn't tell you what the association is.

If it’s for a boy I prefer Jonty.

I don't love it, but it certainly isn't yoonique or in any way chavvy, and it is certainly a girl's name.
