What do we think of Saffron for a baby with mixed English and Arab heritage? Too Ab Fab still?

I would like Yasmin but DH isn’t keen.

I like it, I love Ab Fab

I really like it, it's a pretty name. I've never watched AbFab so no idea if that would be what others think of though.

I love it. Had a friend at school called that. She was lovely. If I'd not had a boy I'd have loved it. Strong name too

DaisyCornflowerBlue · 21/01/2023 23:17

I like it. Needs a revival.

thailandorbust · 21/01/2023 23:37

I love it and was on my list but my friend got there before me! She is now a lovely teenager but calls herself Saffi

I like it

Barleysugar86 · 22/01/2023 12:49

I love it. And Saffie is cute as a nickname.

Toomanybirthdays · 22/01/2023 13:05

Absolutely lovely.

Rawrrawr1 · 22/01/2023 13:09

It was on my girls list, I love it

DisplayPurposesOnly · 22/01/2023 13:15

Vey nice but too Ab Fab for me.

Oddly enough just before I saw this thread, I was just thinking about the name Persis which I really like, and would suit British/Arab heritage.

Bard6817 · 22/01/2023 13:18

It’s a nice name but expect it to be shortened to Saff by friends.

MaryBerrysCamelToe · 22/01/2023 14:05

I love it, my daughter has a similar name and it is shortened to 'saggy' which I love.

Beautiful name

ZeldaWillTellYourFortune · 22/01/2023 14:24

I like Yasmin better. Persis is cool too.
