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

I like Magnolia, Ember or Cherry.
Sage is also Ok, but Sage Jean may be a bit boring.

@SherlocksDeerstalker

You CANNOT name your baby Minji. That doesn’t work in British slang. Not at all!
I’m assuming this is a wind-up thread. Bit of a coincidence so many of the names have dodgy slang meanings.

@TheSunWillComeOut2moro

Just name her Charlotte or Isabelle, no child wants to be called Moon Shine Minge.
lottiegarbanzo · 11/03/2022 19:55

Sook, short for Suki, is gorgeous. As in Sook Damson in The Woodlanders.

welshpolarbear · 11/03/2022 19:56

Sorry my msg didn't work! It was meant to contain a crying with laughter emoji 😂 Moon Shine Minge 😂

Susu49 · 11/03/2022 19:56

I agree with pp @Spaghetti0h I think you're winning fans simply for your sense of humour - if your daughter has half your good nature she's never going to be short of friends!

birdie90 · 11/03/2022 20:16

Sorry but all of these names except Ember and Bronte are awful. If you like Moon how about Luna instead?

Please be more considerate towards your child, they will have this name for the rest of their life (probably). It’s not just about bullying and it’s sad that’s something that needs to be considered but it can also affect one’s self esteem. I am not sure how old you are but this isn’t just an opportunity to be edgy, it sounds harsh but I am looking out for your child.

Azalea Jean So-Ok

Sage Jean Ember.

Sage is unusual yet does not suffer from spelling issues and would suit a serious grown up as well as child. You don't know what type of adult she would be so it's good to choose a name which is wide ranging. You could also consider Sorrel or Saffron.

Ember - because you love it and as a third name it will rarely get used so is far more acceptable to me.

Legalconundrums · 11/03/2022 20:29

Moon Shine Minge... I'm just spat wine all over myself ..

Omg dying 🤣🤣🤣
sevensleeps · 11/03/2022 20:30

Fwiw I think Sailor and Sage are nice!

TheVanguardSix · 11/03/2022 20:34

I love Cherry. I went to school with a Cherry Fe. I loved her name.

JuneBug94 · 11/03/2022 20:44

Bae - no, it's an abbreviation for 'Before Anyone Else' (BF/GF)
Chin-Sun - it's okay but not so much for being bought up in the U.K. would probably be shortened to chin.
Minji - absolutely not. Minge.
Moon - love
So-Ok - how is it pronounced? I read your description Suh-k as suck? It looks like a start of a sentence. Sooo.. okay?
Sailor - love
Ember - like
Cherry - slightly chavvy but okay
Magnolia - dulux paint
Bronte - love
Sage - I like as a middle name
Venus - razor.

Willow
Nova
Storm
Heather
Autumn
Oak

GeneParmesanPrivateEye · 11/03/2022 21:15

I've read both threads @Spaghetti0h and I think you sound lovely.

What about Ari? Or Nari?
They sound pretty, and will easily work to western ears)

I know someone pronounced it wrong upthread, but how about Suki?
Suki Jean is so cute
Birdie Jean Moon

Billandben444 · 11/03/2022 21:40

I think you're all mad. This is for a baby not a kitten Grin

Zillamop · 11/03/2022 22:16

Moon Magnolia Jean

kindahappykindsad · 11/03/2022 22:34

I know a wonderful Cherry, she's a beautiful kind natured teacher and reminds me of Miss Honey from Matilda.
Cherry Jean is gorgeous. Sailor is cool too. . Never heard of that before

Rosieposie101 · 11/03/2022 22:36

Minji sounds like the British slang for vagina.
Bae means like, babe, too right? (Not up to take on British slang as been abroad a few years).
I am in Asia and know a few little girls named Cherry and Moon. I adore Cherry, Moon is cute too.
Sailor is quite nice although not as rare as the others.

Rosieposie101 · 11/03/2022 22:37

Ember and Sage are okay but a bit 'i'm trying to be different but I'm not that imaginative'

DPotter · 11/03/2022 22:43

Sailor - you have got to be kidding me! Please for the love of all you hold holy do not use Sailor.
Of all the professions to choose from.

Have you (and several others by the sound of it) heard the phrase "Ooo hello sailor" - said in a mincing type voice from a lady of negotiable affections (as dear Terry Pratchett would say).

I sincerely hope your partner has right of veto

Happenchance · 11/03/2022 22:54

Azalea Jean is nice.

I think you need to be careful because First name Jean could sound like a cleaning product, e.g. Cherry Jean, Sage Jean etc.

Other suggestions:
Linnea Jean
Minerva Jean
Zahara Jean

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 11/03/2022 23:02

I don't mean to sound rude but I read the title of this thread and thought it was a joke about your earlier thread 🤦🏻‍♀️

Susu49 · 11/03/2022 23:17

Azalea is lovely too

Lampface · 11/03/2022 23:31

My favourites are Cherry, Bronte, Chin-Sun and Azalea. All gorgeous especially with Jean as the middle name.
