Satin or True

[lonelypigorfitflea]

I like both.

Obviously I like unusual themes of names

Which if you had to, would you go with?

For a baby girl

I think they're all just not to my taste!

The only 2 Satins I can think of (apart from a black pony I used to know) are Satin in Nana by Emile Zola, and Satine in Moulin Rouge. Both prostitutes, which might not be offputting but a lot of people would make the connection.

Say what?

Satin makes me think of bathroom paint.

Allegra or Athena are great
Satin just feels too much like obviously a material and a girly material at that. I'm not keen on names that have connotations you can't shift
True just isn't a name, I'm sorry. There are so many other unusual names to consider
What about Sasha? Imogen? Celeste?

Honestly, OP, either is fine; I think one brand of sanitary pad is actually just as good as another these days.

Are these serious choices for baby names? Seriously? 🤦‍♀️

🤣

Satin is a sex worker name.

True and all the others are fine, choose what you like.

You know you are naming an actual person, right?

I think your hormones are doing a number on you. Go with one of your husband's suggestions.

I love a PP's suggestion of Allegra. Fab name!

Neither.

Listen to your DH.

Also loads of lovely suggestions here.

Athena, Helena and Serena are beautiful 🥰

True is 100% Kardashian (literally the name of Khloe Kardashian’s child) and Satin isn’t a name or even a particularly nice sounding word

Satin sounds like a brand of bog roll or a paint colour.

True makes me think of wheels.

So it's a no from me.

I agree with all the people who think it sounds like a choice between two paint finishes or sanitary towel brands or underwear styles or something.

Will I call my child extra absorbent or with wings?

Satin and True both sound like tampon brands

All beautiful

I like true

All terrible. Serena is ok but sienna is much nicer. Satin and true are a joke

I love Athena. I know a girl called Athena Sunflower (she doesn't really use her middle name but it is lovely knowing it is there)

Both are hideous, I can’t believe anyone would seriously consider naming their child either of these names.

You choices sound like sanitary towel brands. Don’t do it.

Satin and True are bloody awful.

Your DH names are great. Especially Hannah and Helena.

They sound like intimate hygiene or lubricant products
