Thoughts on the name Twyla?

[Rose1111]

I recently came across the name Twyla. I love how it sounds & it’s unusual without being too crazy. I definitely don’t know any Twyla’s. What’s other people’s thoughts on it? Will also take other name suggestions. Thanks.

Twyla is a lovely name. Makes me think of Toni Morrison's short story Recitatif. In the US it is a more known name but definitely not "Southern redneck" as someone described it above.

I’d think you were a huge Schitt’s Creek fan.

I think it is the sort of name that would be really annoying to have as you’d forever be spelling it and explaining it to people.

Yeah I'd avoid Twyla too.
Poppy is lovely and Luna is beautiful too.

Instant owl here too.

Twit
Twoo
Twyla

Poppy is lovely. Do that.

And I thought the person who mentioned the 'talented Twyla Tharp' was doing a play on words for Taylor Swift 😳

It sounds like it's being said by someone with a speech impediment.

I saw the word twat unfortunately so a no from me

Poppy it is! Thankfully my partner likes the name poppy so don’t want to suggest other names to him without being sure because he might be swayed away from poppy. Originally liked Arabella but she’ll get called Bella & don’t like Bella. I considered Freya & Everly too but poppy just steals the show I think. My first girl it has to be sweet & girly.

Awful.

Poppy is a beautiful name! I had a boy but if id had a girl she would have been a Poppy.

Sounds like a new chocolate bar...

Poppy is much nicer.

tacky and cheap. Feel the same about names like Chardonnay

Love it and love Schitts creek. For the record, I posted on mumsnet asking about the name I was thinking about for my daughter and got a lot of negative feedback. I named her it anyway and I absolutely love it :)

It sounds like an own brand chocolate bar, a fake Twix, it's a no from me.

Absolutely! Watch out for rogue boars too!

I know it’s my child & can name her whichever name I choose but didn’t want her getting bullied & I wondered what other people associate the name with as I hadn’t heard it before. I thought it sounded like twinkling stars & was something really pretty.

Poppy is a darling name.

Poppy is a lovely name

She's one of my favourite characters. So I think it's a pretty name

Not that it's any of my business. But Poppy isn't a lovely flower name. It's over used. It's often given to pets. It's girly and above all looks like Poopy. Not a look.

I think there's some much lovelier flower named. Flora , Daphne,primrose. Marigold. Marguerite. Rosemary.

Good luck x.

Yep! You’re absolutely right. Thankfully not popular where I live but do know a dog called poppy although same with Lola & Bella. I think with most names people can associate it with something somewhat negative. I have looked at every other flower name don’t really see any I like apart from blossom but I know my partner would think I’m crazy & surname sounds similar so it wouldn’t sound right.

However the little Poppys I've met have all been super sweethearts. So don't let me be a negative.

Although il just throw Mr Poppy from Nativity in there too

I've heard of Twyla Tharp and knew she was something artsy but I couldn't have told you who she was

How could you poor child

Terry Prachett. Nice to see lots of fans!
