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

I really like Ember. Venus sounds too much like Penis so I can imagine there would end up being some teasing there. Story is really pretty and growing on me. I don't like the way Apricot sounds as a word and it seems a bit of a mouthful. Jean is beautiful and a lovely way to remember your grandmother. Congratulations

Chose a name you like OP, don’t worry about all the nasty comments and the recommendation of really boring plain names. I have a boring name and I wish I had a different name. I regret my ex making me chose a boring name for dd1, it doesn’t really suit her at all and she shares the name with many others, dd has a slightly different name (her name has been mentioned on here), it really suits her and she seems to like it.

Ember is much better than some of the names mentioned by others, I wouldn’t want my child having a grandma name 😉

When did Story become a name?

It seems as if nowadays parents choose any word at all and give it to their child.

Poor children lumbered with these names when they reach their 50s and 60s.

I absolutely love whacky baby name threads. I mean why would anyone ask on MN for feedback on their ludicrous choices! It's such fun throwing eggs at them. And all the nonsense about nicknames, which develop organically, they can't be imposed before birth

Yes a few of us are older but I have younger friends and they wouldn't call their kids any of these (have asked them in past with similar names).[/quote]
No not you at all, mostly aimed at the person who called me an idiot x
I wasn't meaning to have a go about the age I just got upset.
I wondered if from some of the suggestions people are a lot older than me

@SpaghettiOh, another poster made a comment about some names being typical of those chosen by influencers.

Thanks to the lady who suggested Sailor I actually really like that! I'm going to look into Korean names too.

Get outta here! Sailor?

Cherry - noooooo! Pop your cherry??

Clementine/Clemmie is nice if you want a fruit name.

Story - weird and will get the piss taken out of them for ever. It’s story time! What about Seren instead?

Ember - will spend her life explaining that it’s not Emma or Amber. Both of which are perfectly good names.

Apricot - please don’t do this to your

Unusual names ideas: seren, clemmie, lettice, lillia, linnet, hazel, ivy

Ember - I really like this! It feels really autumnal and warm.
Story - I surprisingly quite like this as well. It’s in the same style of Atlas and Harbour for boys and I’m hearing them more and more.
Venus - I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it but it’s not to my taste.
Apricot - Please don’t do this! It’s a fruit and not a particularly exciting one at that. Also it reminds me of the really harsh facial scrub! Not a great connotation!

What about Esther?

There’s a reason why names are unique and no one has used them before.

Saugacia is my suggestion. I made it up once and started a troll thread asking for feedback. Loads of fun.

I like Story

I would avoid all fruit names. I've never heard of Story (as a name - like Apricot it is surely just a word?), but I imagine all sorts of confusion with 'it's story time' 'have you finished your story Story' etc at school.
Venus has all sorts of connotations which might be burdensome and Ember again is a word that means dying coals and will be confused with Amber.
I'd have a rethink, but obviously your baby your choice and you probably wouldn't like the names I chose for my kids, just remember name needs to work in school and then in later life.
Only person I know with fruit name, its a nickname - her name is Victoria and her nickname is Plum, in that case I like it. Maybe you could go down the Name with a pet name route then she will have a choice when she's older.

Why would Ember be a name?

An ember is some glowing coal or burnt wood at the bottom of the grate.

It's is not a name for a human being.

@CaptSkippy

What about Esther?

How about no.

@Waxonwaxoff0 yes I'm half Korean x

You wee devil!

@itsnevertolate

I know an little girl called Ember she's lovely and really suits her name. It not my favourite name but I don't think it's weird or horrible. I also quite like Story, I think it would be shortened to Rory or Store though.

“She really suits her name”

Really, in what way ? Is she hot to the touch? Glows when you blow on her? Crumbles to grey ash in the morning? Isn’t to be left near marshmallows?

Story is out everyone someone messaged me it means something pornographic 😳

Swarfega has been suggested on MN before, so old fashioned by now
