Venus, Story, Ember or Apricot?

Venus, Story, Ember or Apricot?
I've narrowed my name list down to these.
I want something a little different to the top 20 names if possible.
Middle name would be Jean.
Which is your favourite in order please or what do you think?
Tysm for the help x

What type of surname will she have?

If it's a Western sounding surname, I think it would be lovely to have a Korean first name + Jean as her middle name. Then she has links to your lovely nana, and to her mixed ethnicity. She can mix and match whether she's using her Korean name or English name (Jean).

I did like Cherry when someone first suggested it, but then when someone else pointed out possible taunts about 'popping her cherry', I went off it.

Ember isn't terrible, but your daughter will have to spend the rest of her life correcting it. You said you didn't have a common surname, so she's going to have to spell out both her first name and surname forever.

There are some more 'interesting' names that are easier to hear/spell, so if you want something a bit more out there, I'd compromise a bit.

Ember might catch on!
Venus and the rest, nah!
Someone suggested Wren, which I like. Small brown bird, extremely loud for its size.
Seren is Welsh for star. Decide on the pronunciation, Clementeen or Clementine.
I would always be wary of naming a child after a characteristic, eg Grace will be a heffalump, Charity will be mean, etc.
Swarfega, so funny!
It's a bit of a minefield. Anyway, have fun and all the best to you both.

Ember Jean is lovely. I quite like Story Jean too. Apricot no. Venus... hmmm, maybe. But I'm not a fan.

Middle name Jean? For real? You would call a beloved baby girl Story Jean? Hand her over to social services for adoption.

Please don’t be an idiot

Apricot? That’s just cruel.

@Hurrylittlefroggy

...You're not serious, are you?

Ember is ok at a push but she will get called Amber. Venus is a lot to live up to. Story and apricot are your pregnancy hormones talking. They're not names.

I know an Ember. People call her Amber very occasionally. Far less often than the call me by a name similar to my very very normal name anyway!

@ChardonnaysPetDragon

it sounds like a litter of retriever puppies working in a strip bar.

🤣🤣🤣

Other than Venus (which sounds like a fake stripper name) these are no more names than Corridor, Feta or Only. Just random words.

Why not go retro and opt for Savannah or Chardonnay.

There are thousands of names that are supposed to be names. It all sounds too try hard.

I like ember and Venus.

Do not like apricot.

Not sure about story

My friend has a son called Story, seemed odd at first but lovely now!
I like Cherry too, and Ember. Cherry could always be Cheri/Cherie?

No. Please don't.

Venus is nice, a strong name and still really unusual!
Story and Ember are lovely and whimsical.

Apricot is the only one I don't like as much x

@FayCarew

Venus - fine if you are a world class beautiful tennis player but otherwise a lot to live up to Story - as in likely story or story telling? Ember - a small piece glowing in a dying fire? Apricot - Ape for short?

Apricot- Ape for short

But Jeanne in French isn't pronounced Jean, is it? So that's another problem.

Story is my absolute favourite girls name. I'm finished having children but if I ever had a baby girl she would be called Story.

Hazelnut ?

I saw the title and thought someone was testing names for their new cat or dog and I thought "stupid bloody names for a cat or dog"

@ComeUnderMySexBlanket

OP, someone about four pages ago said it was pregnancy hormones talking, and I think that's right (I was desperate to call one of my DC Looby and was, fortunately, talked out of it).

I like the idea of something Korean, but Cherry is also ok (or Merry, if you like that kind of thing?) Jean is a nice middle name, esp. with the family connection.

This is absolutely hilarious - Looby 😂😂😂

🤣

What about Plompoppalina?

Or Rampiningflapalot?

Or Jippydippydoodarbobbles?

So many more lovely more names.

If you call her Ember everyone will think they misheard Amber.

Apricot is awful, fruit is such a weird thing to name your child after.

Story is a bit random, and Venus is okay, not sure if name my child after the Goddess of beauty though, a lot of expectation.

I'm sure there are more nature names out there, Winter Jean sounds nice to me. Autumn and Summer to mainstream for you I expect.

@ChardonnaysPetDragon

I was ask if it was for a Standard Poodle.

I actually think Ember is quite nice, but then I like the name Amber.

None of them are children’s names, I mean Story, why just why. Why not go for tower block?
