Sounds like you're saying hello Annie.

Purpleavocado · 19/09/2023 20:59

Hello Dolly...

LaLaLouella · 19/09/2023 21:00

No! Halo is really quite awful

SnapdragonToadflax · 19/09/2023 20:49

At least it's not Halo Dolly...

First thing I thought of!
'Halo Annie
Well, Halo Annie
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You're lookin' swell, Annie'😁

Sorry, but it sounds like a product name from LoveHoney

Hahah this is so true

MmmALovelyBitOfSquirrel · 19/09/2023 21:06

I can't help but read it in Mrs Doubtfires voice, 'hello, Annie!'

Dragonsandcats · 19/09/2023 21:06

No!

TheaBrandt · 19/09/2023 21:08

Yeah that’s pretty bad. I came up with some corkers mid pregnancy my now teens are horrified at what they could have been called. Annie is really nice.

MartyFunkhouser · 19/09/2023 21:08

Annie? Lovely.

Halo? People will judge you as a twit.

Justrolledmyeyesoutloud · 19/09/2023 21:09

Hate made up names. Halo ffs. Why not just call it Angel?

muddyford · 19/09/2023 21:09

Sounds like robot hunting landmines.

Huwipulotu · 19/09/2023 21:12

I fucking despair….

Yokaiwatch · 19/09/2023 21:14

Halo - no (I read it as hello in a German accent instead of the usual way for some reason!)

Annie - yes. I prefer Anna.

What attracted you to the name Halo? It’s not awful but it doesn’t go with Annie. If you really like Halo then I think a different middle name would be better. Maybe a name that starts with a consonant? Halo Constance, Halo Jane, Halo Nadine, idk…

or name the baby Annie Halo?

gogomoto · 19/09/2023 21:14

It's a computer game franchise, halo, also the name of a safety device for motor racing. No

WeeOrcadian · 19/09/2023 21:15

No

Don't do it

Don't saddle your child with that

Ketzele · 19/09/2023 21:16

Annie Halo would be better.

RichPetunia · 19/09/2023 21:20

Grinjust no! I thought you had a question and the title of your post was a miss-spelt Hello Annie. I'm not meaning to offend you by saying this, but it seems a little bit 'trying too hard to be different'.

Frydaycryday · 19/09/2023 21:20

For your new pet hamster...yes

A child.... no

Marcipex · 19/09/2023 21:22

Annie is dreary, Halo is bonkers.

DrLucyVanPelt · 19/09/2023 21:34

Just no. Halo is a terrible name to give an actual person.

Annie is lovely.

They do not go together at all.

HenryCavillsWife · 19/09/2023 22:17

It must be stressful trying to choose a name when any word would do. Halo? Lightshade? Back-Fat? Windowsill? Jam?

cuckyplunt · 19/09/2023 22:19

Wasn’t she the girl who couldn’t say “No”?

Holdmysunhat · 19/09/2023 22:21

Mumsnet is on fine form tonight. This is the first proper laugh I’ve had all day - a German person greeting their friend, Annie 😆😆

CatChant · 19/09/2023 22:31

As in The Ballad of Halo Jones?

I think it’s pretty and I loved the series. It’s a shame Alan Moore never finished it.

Turnstile Tundra is my all time favourite ever suggested on here, but it's obviously not to everyone's taste
