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

I have a similar name too honey and I'm 25 with a great career and have lived a completely normal life with most people not caring at all about my name. Stop pretending that someone's name makes that big of an impact on their lives

Well according to MN you can only be successful with a high powered career if your name is Catherine, Elizabeth or Annabelle. Your cv gets thrown in the bin apparently if your name is unusual or worse 'made up', the horror

One of my best friend's daughter is Honey kitty - she's a lawyer (28) and loves her name. Go for it!

When I started secondary school in the early 1970's , there was a fifth former whose name was Honey. She had the loveliest personality and physically, the name suited her as well - gorgeous golden hair, and really stunning to look at. She would be in her mid 60's now. More recently, I've known another Honey, this time primary school age. The name really suited her too.
If you like the name, use it. Frankly, I find it far more appealing than a lot of the 'grandparent' type names that seem to be popular right now.

What about gorgeous elegant name Honor with nn Honey!

@DoesHePlayTheFiddle

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

Surely flower first is better? Clover or Heather spring to mind, or maybe Acacia or Lavender.

Wouldn’t that be quite weird, as you don’t pronounce the ‘H’ in Honor’?

You alright hun?

@DemBonesDemBones

No one on mumsnet will like it because it's not in the top 10 approved names.

😂😂😂😂

It's a bit sex industry.

DD’s friend was called Honey and was very girly. She’s changed her name to George at 14 and now says she’s a boy. Basically, call her whatever you love and if she doesn’t like it she’ll change it anyway.

@ManifestingWisdom well it would take a certain type of person to know that I guess. I’m not up on my top 10 sex industry names.

@NeedaHoliday2021

I'm gonna look for it, but I'm pretty sure Crystal is up there

Well, I work with a Crystal and she’s on a 6 figure salary and the job role doesn’t involve sex so I don’t think it’s mandatory.

The only sex worker I know is called Olivia.

Thats why i suggested honor. Id be so surprised if she got to 45 and thought i really love my name, its so me.

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba

just looked it up and I was right about Greek but wrong about translation

as PP said Melissa means bee.
but the name comes from the word "Meli" which means honey.
Apologies for misinformation.
I knew a Melissa who was nicknamed Meli and she told me her name meant honey - so I thought she meant her full name! my bad

and whoever said to not give a name that means something else - you must be joking.
People choose or disregard names become of what they mean all the time so your argument is invalid.
I like the name Caleb but it means dog and as much as I love dogs I didn't want to call my boys that.
Same with Rufus, it means red and somehow that didn't sit right, despite red being my favourite colour!

I love the name Philippa but I don’t like horses Hoping to have a boy to avoid this conundrum!

My Canadian relative (of Dutch decent) is Honey. And she's lovely.

Someone I work with has a daughter called honey. Her real name is honor.

@ThatLibraryMiss

Fearne Cotton’s dd is Honey Chrissie(?). She has strawberry blonde hair and I always thought it was sweet - but can see how it wouldn’t carry well in adulthood and I never though of the patronising/sex-worker connotations!
I wouldn’t OP

🤢 please don’t. It’s awful. Would you like to be called Honey? Seriously? She’d be the butt of lots of jokes and a fair amount of sleaze.

Honey Boo-Boo!

I prefer Sunny.

I have never known or heard anyone in real life that's been bullied because of a name!!
