Sailor, Cherry, Moon or Sook etc help me pick!!

[Spaghetti0h]

Following on from my other thread I've amended my name choices.
I'd appreciate help/advice on which is nicest.
Middle name would be Jean (named for my nana I can't compromise on this).
I'm half Korean so have picked some Korean names too this time as well. I could add the Korean name as another middle name after my nanas though:
Bae
Chin-Sun
Minji
Moon
So-Ok
Sailor
Ember
Cherry
Magnolia
Bronte
Sage
Venus
Yes I've ditched Apricot & taken on board some of the advice you ladies have given me I appreciate it x

To me Magnolia is associated with the boring paint colour that is used in blocks of flats etc. It's a shame because it's a lovely flower but has connotations of blandness which doesn't seem to be what you're going for with your list

Suki mentioned up thread is lovely

@MerryMarigold

As one of the most beautiful Korean spring flowers, azaleas have a faithful purple color.

Azalea is even cooler than Magnolia. I love names with a z in.

Oh I love that I need to add it on my list too! Thank you! 😅

Minji sounds like minge, so absolutely not , don’t even entertain it !
I like sage but you can’t call her sage Jean , as it sounds like sage green, like a Dulux colour wheel. Tbh if you want an unusual name that none of the other kids have got I’d go for Jean, they’re won’t be any others !
Maybe sage - Korean name- Jean might work. Really love bronte.

Moon is like when teenage boys flash their bums to other cars when they're at the back of the bus isn't it? Minji is just not okay. Bronte, Magnolia, Cherry and Sage are lovely options.

Hahaha. I actually want Story back it's quite nice.

Still overall I'd pick Sage even though Sage Jean doesn't have the best sound.

Maybe Sage ... Jean, as in an additional middle name between them.

You cannot possibly call a baby minji or sook for obvious reasons also Bae which is slang for your boyfriend/girlfriend.

Brontë is beautiful

Yes I was going to say that about magnolia. Lovely flower, but makes me think of boring paint colours

You can't call a kid Sailor...

From Wilki:
"Hello, sailor" is a camp gay catchphrase alluding to the sexual frustration of seamen."

Minji is pronounced more like Meen-Jee so its not as its read so I think it would be fine?
Does anyone like Moon?

I like Cherry and think Cherry Jean sounds good together. I also like Bronte and Amber - instead of Ember.

Sage Jean is quite hard to say with the sound at the end of Sage and start of Jean. But then, people don’t often say full names out loud so that maybe doesn’t matter.

I love Story someone messaged me it means something very sexual to certain men, it's a slang term I'd no idea.

What about Sukura?

Cherry is very sweet

I don't mind Moon as a middle name but as a first name it isn't great. I think of mooning someone (showing them your butt as a prank).

By the way I can't stop laughing about Apricot Jean, I'm sorry! But the more I think about it the more I imagine an old lady named Jean selling apricots at the farmer's market and this sort of becoming her nickname. She'd stand next to Potato Joe and Cheese Barbara.

Oh yes! Azalea is a beautiful word and the flowers are lovely, with a really special scent. And it works as a name (unlike certain fruits).

Azalea Jean Surname

Very nice!

What about Siouxsie, pronounced Suzy but seems to be a bit edgier which is what you seem to be going for

Sage is lovely! I might use it myself.

Minji?! The word minge which sounds the same in the UK is a very unpleasant term for vagina so please don't call your child that!!!

@Hohofortherobbers

Can I toss in Sorrell and Luna? Suki is nice but I'm struggling with your other choices

It's not Suki its So-Ok (Sook) I do like Luna but it's pretty popular I know two x

@spaghetti0h it really wouldnt be fine sorry.

🤣🤣

I’m afraid I hated all the names on your last list and same with all your names on this list @Spaghetti0h

But I think a previous poster has nailed it with Azalea

Nice nod to your Korean heritage without being overt given it’s only a quarter of your child’s heritage and Azalea Jean is really nice and pretty. Also ticks the box you wanted of being unusual.

Go with Cherry Jean, it sounds really nice 😊

Just name her Charlotte or Isabelle, no child wants to be called Moon Shine Minge.
