thoughts on the name wednesday!!

[MinaN]

Thoughts on the name Wednesday? Always liked it personally from the old adams family movie but dh seems to think it will become more of a 'trend' name with the new netflix show out. Opinions?

Nicole Kidman has a daughter called Sunday. Re query why one days the week aren’t used?

Love it

It's dreadful

It will definitely become a bit of a trend with the popularity of the new Wednesday show.

It's going to be shortened to Wends, if you like this well okay

I know someone who called their child the Irish for Monday. Luan. So why not Wednesday?

I knew a girl called Tuesday. Wednesday is better than Tuesday as a name but tbh I think all days of the week names are just mean

I love it would actually change my name to it

@Crazykefir my Tuesday friend was born on a Saturday

Dé Luain is only Monday with the Dé before it. Otherwise it's just moon I suppose

Adams family to me, Also isn’t Wednesday child full of woe? There is are so many beautiful girls names, why choose such a dull, unimaginative name.

Awful

It’s like month names. You never meet a November, or an October.

This.

Don't set your child up to be a target, it's cruel.

I find Wednesday a very ugly sound. I’ve seen a fair few online discussions for Wednesday over the last few years, but would be surprised if it became anything more than a blip in the popularity charts. I just don’t think the sound has mass appeal.

I love it.

I knew a Tuesday which suited her.
I know an April who was born in July.
I wouldn't rule out Wednesday, I like it but maybe not now, wait a couple of years.
I don't know any Sunday's but I like that too.
Have you look at other languages to see if it sounds better?

It's very clunky sounding and ime people pronounce it in all sorts of different ways. One of my colleagues says Weddensday and I know someone who says Wennersday, then there's all the "wensday" people. Now I'm wondering how it's meant to be pronounced, actually 😂

Luan is Monday.... gealach Is the moon. Luna was the celtic god of the moon .

Also, some annoying people call it "hump day"

You asked for 'thoughts on the nsne'

my thoughts are that naming a child after a day of the week is cruel & stupid.

Quite apart from that, I think it sounds ugly

Imagine being in a playground & calling Wednesday?!

just WHY? There are millions if actual names, which aren't days of the week.

you did dk.

if you introduced your baby to me as Wednesday, I'm smile & say 'oh that's lovely'
but inside think 'what were you thinking, poor kid'

Thanks for this, will never see Saturday without seeing Turd ever again 😂

I guess it’s one way of teaching your kid and their friends how to spell the weekday, Wednesday is the one most commonly misspelled I’ve been told. :)

Sorry but it’s a firm no from me.

Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) has a DD called Wednesday.

I don’t like it as a name, personally.

I love it and would be happy to be called it!
