Honey

[millzcrawf]

this is a name that I have recently fallen in love with after a hearing a mum shout her little girl Honey in the park...

I'm honestly obsessed with it and love it!! What do you all think x

If you were calling a child honey I would just think you were calling a child a cute saying like sweetheart. As a name it's a no from me.

I love it!

It’s a great name if she wants a career as a stripper.

It’s not my choice

But it’s certainly not offensive

Wasn't Honey a character in EastEnders about 10 years ago?

You can call your daughter Honey without it being her actual name.

Cute as a child but doesn't work for an adult.

I think it's gorgeous

Feels very 'celeb's baby born in 2005'.

I know an elderly lady called Honey. It's a beautiful name.

I think it's batshit crazy

you might as well name her Sweetheart, Dear or Treacle and watch her head spinning every time some sexist, misogynistic, mansplaing arsehole addresses a woman in a condescending, patronising manner

don't do it.

Agree with the previous poster, you can call her Honey all you like without putting it on her birth certificate.
I call my DD Pumpkin #not her actual name!!

Nope

Whiff of stripper about it

And as pp said a gift for sleazy men

Amazes me how many people want a cute name for a baby but don't realise it's a whole life sentence ..

It’s not my taste.

No.

I love it too! 😊

I knew a Honey born in 2006 and get sorry for her tbh. She was generally pretty sweet and mild tempered but I'd find it weird that her name was a romantic name like Love or Darling iyswim. Do you call your h hun?

Nope

It's sweet in an infantalising way.

Give her a proper name and a proper chance to become a proper adult.

Call her honey at home when you want to, then Catherine or whatever the rest of the time.

There is definitely something a bit pervy about a young child named honey. Sorry OP, but you did ask...

Perhaps as a middle name?
It's cute, but not sure how it would translate into adult life.

Honey is a character on Eastenders and she is an extremely ditsy person, almost child-like, probably why the name was chosen for her.
I would say no. Maybe give it to her as a middle name instead so it’s an option you can use or she could agree to in the future.
In the world we live in now I think the name would stand out for all the wrong reasons. She would also be known as ‘hun’ - the word every patronising person on SM use for each other.

It's a No from me. Your child will spend most of his/her years on earth as an adult. Sounds cute for a baby name but not an adult name.

Not for me, does anyone remember Honey G from X Factor?

Yikes! Why don't you want your daughter to have a chance at being taken seriously in a professional job one day?

You might as well buy her stripper shoes and cover her in glitter!

Good name for a Labrador puppy. Not great for a child.

Noooooooo.

All of the no.

Definitely no.

NOPE.
