Marnie is lovely

AuntieStella · 04/09/2023 21:28

Of those three, Marnie-Rose

Luna remains very much a dog's name (because of the silent "tic") - people like it, but give it to a non-human creature because it's a little awkward to live with. Doubly so if hyphenated with its meaning.

Ray is a boy's name, and I think it's wrong for a girl. Not wild about Nova, because it doesn't travel (means roughly "it's broken" or "it doesn't go" in much of our neighbouring Europe)

Oakley is a relatively common boys name

I'm pretty sure it is not.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 04/09/2023 21:30

I'm pretty sure it is not.

67th most popular name in 2021. Almost 1000 baby boys named Oakley.

I'm pretty sure it is not.

Shock!

I stand corrected! Oakley is somehow in the top 100 UK boy names!

Marnie-Rose is super cute

GoodVibesHere · 04/09/2023 21:35

Marnie-Rose is super cute

I think you mean Super-Cute

Fleur405 · 04/09/2023 21:39

Nova-Ray sounds like some sort of weapon that needs to be thwarted by the Avengers. Sorry.

I like Marnie (though not personally a fan of the hyphen)

Coastisclear · 04/09/2023 21:52

The first two are truly awful, sorry. Marnie is ok but anything hypen Rose has been done to death and is rather brash. So maybe just Marnie?

LauderSyme · 04/09/2023 21:56

Marnie Rose is lovely. Some of these comments are rude and - if op is not a troll - must sting a bit.

CurlewKate · 04/09/2023 21:56

Is none of the above an option?

Magicisuponus · 04/09/2023 21:57

I really like Nova Rae (instead of Ray), and also like Marnie Rose.
Agree with pp to loose the hyphen , and have 2 separate names.

OopsieeDaisy · 04/09/2023 22:00

Marnie is lovely, I’d personally avoid Rose as a middle name as it’s been done to death but lose the hyphen at the very least.

AliceMcK · 04/09/2023 22:03

Agree Luna-Moon just No!

Luna on its own or with another middle name. Yes there are a lot of dog Lunas but also very much a girls name too, I know a few little girls called Luna.

The others are a no from me.

CallieQ · 04/09/2023 00:23

How about Looney-toon

😂

Yup but she has asked for views from judgmental strangers, presumably to work out how her child will be judged by strangers, so she's got her honest answers!

OP if these kind of names are popular in your social circles and you like them then go for it, but as pp have illustrated they will not be taken seriously by more middle class /traditional people who MIGHT be your daughters future employer- it's up to you whether you care about that but seeing as you've posted I think you do?

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 04/09/2023 22:40

Ps I think just Luna on it's own or combined with v traditional like Elizabeth or Charlotte

PlipPlopChoo · 04/09/2023 23:13

Nova-Scotia?

Rockmehardplace · 05/09/2023 01:29

Marnie Rose, no hyphen.

I think Luna is the no 1 name for dogs at the moment?

AbbieDabbieDoo · 05/09/2023 01:34

Marnie Rose is making me think of prawns 🫣 Of the names there, I'd mix it up and have first name Marnie, middle name Rae

FedUpMumof10YO · 05/09/2023 07:14

Umm. I don't like any.

I do like PP suggestion of Sun-Shine though.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/09/2023 08:14

The combination of Luna Rose would be nice.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 05/09/2023 09:34

Sorry they sound like Cabbage Patch doll names to me.
