Why? It's an animal not a humans name

crimsonlake · 28/06/2021 18:30

Just why?

Bumblebee413 · 28/06/2021 18:30

What? Poor kid.

AJGranny · 28/06/2021 18:30

There's a dedicated section for this but seeing as you asked, no. It's fucking awful.

The woman on fatherhood on Netflix is called swan. Willow is a tree but also a popular girls name...

Don’t be Silly

Flowerlane · 28/06/2021 18:31

I’m sorry but No. I don’t mind a little different but thats just strange and a name a child will be bullied for.

Poorkitty · 28/06/2021 18:31

Hard no.

Notimeforaname · 28/06/2021 18:32

Please don't call a child Swan 😂

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 28/06/2021 18:33

Nope my daughter died due to whats known as SWAN (syndrome without a name). I wouldn't name my kid after a medical condition.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 28/06/2021 18:33

only if your surname is Lake

GreyhoundG1rl · 28/06/2021 18:33

Swan! 🤣🤣🤣

AnyFucker · 28/06/2021 18:34

Beat me to it @ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba

JackieCollinshasnoauthority · 28/06/2021 18:35

You're a tree.

PomegranateSeed · 28/06/2021 18:36

At least you won’t be short for future sibling ideas. Duck, goose, seagull, cormorant……

RampantIvy · 28/06/2021 18:36

Is your surname Vesta?

Duskydai · 28/06/2021 18:36

The woman in Fatherhood is named Lizzie but nicknamed Swan. Big difference! Up to you what you name your child but it’s a no from me

RainRainGoAway12 · 28/06/2021 18:37

I was at the park the other day and there was a boy called Snow. Not what you asked but I was a bit Hmm at that name too.

I think if you are a celebrity, crack on. If you’re a mere mortal, maybe just use it as a middle name.

I was surprised it wasn't the very first answer
Funnylittlefloozie · 28/06/2021 18:37

Ask in the baby name section if you want a sensible reply. But honestly? Please don't. Its a lovely word, but an awful name for a child.

Lanique · 28/06/2021 18:37
Hmm
CandyLeBonBon · 28/06/2021 18:37
