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

@SirSamuelVimes

Noooooooo.

All of the no.

Definitely no.

NOPE.

Not much different to Teddie 🐻 used for boys these days....

Honey and Teddy would work well together

Much different. Teddy can go by Ted or Theo, normal sounding names and appropriate for an adult.

Honey goes by, what? Hon?
Just ridiculous to do that to a sweet innocent baby.

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba

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.

Exactly Is there a a-z of the most stupid names some people read???

If you were naming your teddy bears

What is wrong with people?

I agree with above, don’t do it!

As a family only nn for Honora, Honor, Hana, Melissa, Melina, Rosamel, Pamela, Pamina, Lonicera, and Mel.

I would find it really awkward to use Honey as a name and I would call her Miss Surname instead.

Oh honey… that’s a terrible name.

Honey as a nickname - fine. As an actual, birth certificate name - hell. No.

@myheartskippedabeat

celebrity baby names are a good start: Tu Morrow, Kal El, Pilot Inspektor, Moon Unit and Audio Science

then search for weirdest baby names and you'll find: Lucifer, Awesome, Kingmessiah, Marijuana, Window (one with the middle name Coverings), Author, Judge, Singer, Doorman, Phelony

then there are the nice try no cigar attempts: Nutella, Burger King, Hitler, Facebook and Cyanide
🤣

parents, eh?

I like it

@SpangoDweller

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

This!!

No, I think its quite a sexualised name. Its a name I imagine quite sexist men calling their current 'girl' or wannabee girl.

This, to put it mildly. When your daughter is an adult managing some uncooperative fuckwit who doesn't like 'having a woman over him', you're handing him a weapon. If you need reminding, rewatch all the scenes in Blackadder Goes Forth with all the 'Darling' jokes.

It makes me think of Honeychile Rider in the James Bond film......

Call her Miele (pronounced May-lee). It means honey.

Honey is lovely. A beautiful name. Use it. Add a flower for the middle name.

Ugh think of all the men who will legitimately be able to say 'ok Honey' in a really patronising way. A name like that for an adult is like a pat on the head.

@PlanDeRaccordement

Call her Miele (pronounced May-lee). It means honey.

I think the household appliances brand rules that one out

My old pe teacher called her baby honey because the baby had honey coloured hair. Super cute but I wonder how well it works as an adult.

Makes me think of Honey Boo Boo, although Honey wasn’t actually her name.

Plus that's not how it's pronounced

@HazelandChacha

Even that horrible woman knew better that to choose that name officially for her child! Says a lot!

@Fl0w3ry

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.

Honey was her nickname. Her real name (in the programme) was Susan.

Miele
🤣

but a good idea to use a name that means honey!

Melissa means honey in Greek (I'm 97.8% sure it's Greek)
