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?

Suspect like with any unusual name, the trick is to put it down as a middle name (even if it's used as the "real" name) so it's easy, later on, for the kid to decide that they're "Lily W. Smith" rather than "Wednesday Smith" if they think the situation merits that.

I don't like it. I think it's begging to be mocked and kids are cruel. If she isn't as hard faced as Wednesday Addams then she'll struggle with it imo.
Plus, Wednesdays are shit. If you're gonna be named after a day of the week, you'd want a good day like Saturday.

I love it. I also like Tuesday and Friday but there we go.

Would definitely love calling a new baby Wednesday

No. I really don't like it for a child. Maybe use it for a pet instead.

Oh I love it.

My friend was a goth when we were teenagers and people used to call her Wednesday to pick on her and harass her.

Would you really want to be an adult called Wednesday?

Yeah or a plain middle name that they can use instead.
Either way is an option.

I love it. But then I also love Sunday, which seems to be on a lot of folks lists/a celeb baby name.

Good pets name

It does make me think of the Adams family, that’s the only Wednesday I’ve ever heard of. Plus there’s the whole day of the week thing.

The sound of it is fine but I find it difficult to see past those connotations.

It will

I wouldn’t

It is not a good name. Hump day!

I actually love Sunday though. Much nicer sound and feel.

I think it’s cool for a character on TV but a bit much for a Tesco cashier.

Plus I always think it’s a bad idea to use a name that’s just been used on a popular TV streaming service.

I like it a lot.

I love it but I really like day names

Sunday and Friday aren't uncommon

Nope

Addams family. That’s it.

< hums theme tune to Addams family>

I think Sunday is the best sounding day of the week. Plus you can have the nickname Sunny.

I think Wednesday is quite long and clunky.

You've been watching Netflix again for name suggestions haven't you?

I absolutely love it and would looooove to call a daughter it, but the association is too strong, the kid has to live with it and it’s beyond try-hard-quirky to name your child wednesday

Would it be pronounced Wed-n-sday or Wensday? Either way it's an odd name. Really weird for anyone not born on Wednesday!

The names Tuesday and Sunday seem to be gaining popularity right now so why not?;quick frankly Wednesday is nothing compared to the thoughtless/god awful/chavvy/made up names people name their kids these days.

Please
Say
You're
Joking

It's a common mistake but the actual wording is "knows no woe". Still don't like it as a name though Wed-nes-day, that's how I have to spell it, lol
