Sibling for Nirvana,Jude and Nicks

[Zoomer122]

Hello again mumsnetters!!

i don’t know if you remember but I made a thread a while ago about expecting baby number 3 and now we are expecting baby number 4

We already have Nirvana (Varnie), Jude and Nicks and we are looking for names to go with the music theme
we got a lot of hate last time for the theme of our children’s names but overall it was helpful on deciding baby nicks’ name (we also don’t know the gender yet!)

names we are considering this time:
Arabella (Ari) Arctic monkey association but also love the nickname Ari
Floyd
Florence (flossy) Florence and the machines and also a family name on my side of the family
Drummer (may be the top contender for a boy)
Lyric
Smiths
Leon
Oasis

You can't call a person Strummer!

Ah fair enough @Zoomer122 , he’s your kid call him what you like.

Of your list, I prefer Arabella & Florence but I’m a traditionalist, so that was always going to be the case!

Surely you'd need to really like a band, singer or artist to name your child after them. Just picking a random name associated with a group/artist that works as a name seems a bit odd!

Which artists/bands do you love OP?

🤮

She loves the Sex Pistols, Limp Bizkit and Korn.

Oh come on now

You really called your child Nirvana? 🤣🤣🤣

Drummer
Lyric
Smiths
Oasis

Just no. There are plenty of names that could have a musical association without being so try hard.

Joey
Johnny
Tommy
Marky
Dee Dee
Richie
Elvis

(and that’s only the Ramones).

Leon and Floyd are the best of a bad bunch. The other names are a bit too far out man. ✌️

Nigel

I have nothing useful to say except that I love the name Nicks!

@RNLD1981 all these bands are ones me and DP like (we have a varied indie/rock taste)

in the shirt list for DD3 we had blues which I’m really taking a liking Into again as well

Good Spinal Tap vibes going on there.

Ziggy

Surely this is a joke……
no one in their right mind would lumber their kids with names like that?!

Right! It’s due a resurgence

I know someone who named her kids Hendrix and Jagger and it really suits them

How about Vedder?

the baby is actually called ‘Nixon’

WTAF?

What about:

Ella
Betsy
Robert
Joe
Jack
Elmore

For a Delta Blues (actual names) vibe?

Ringo

Armstrong?
Brody?
Shane?
King (or Dave)?

Eugene is an excellent name (Gogol Bordello)

I like most of them but definitely not Drummer. That is awful.

Marley
Prodigy
Madonna
Alvin
Dolly
Harry
Prince
Stormzy

I remember your last thread! I think I was pregnant with my son at the time I was reading it.

I know 2 babies called Hendrix.
Also know a boy named Keidis (as in red hot chilli pepper)

Jagger
Indie
Prince
Jazz

All other babies I know!
