Thisbe - too far out?

[RoseApp]

So is Thisbe a no way or a may be?

Also on the list for a girl (my friend decided against all previous suggestions and is now back on the hunt for something poetic)

Xanthe - I like this one
Ruri - not sure how I feel about taking names from other cultures (Japan)
Romy
Raphaelle
Signe - she would pronounce it a bit like Sidney

the stress that’s going in to this I’m so glad I only have to name my dogs 🐶

Personally, I'd raise an eyebrow.

It sounds like Frisbee.

Sorry.

I honestly thought it was a typo! Way too out there in my opinion, coming from someone who's daughter's name was used on less than 3 babies in the entire country in the year she was born! Although I'm not bad about any of the names on the list tbh.

I love Thisbe. I also love Raphaelle, but may suggest Sigrid instead of Signe

I thought "frisbee" too, sorry

Thisbe and Signe are terrible names. They sound like they are being pronounced by somebody with a lisp. They are just really imply. Thisbe makes me think of the word, 'lesbian' and Signe if a signal. Ruri is a boys name.

Really ugly, not imply.

If I heard someone introduced as Thisbe then I would totally think I'd misheard Frisbee.

I love Thisbe, and Xanthe. Not sure on Signe

I like the name Thisbe but I lisp, so would probably avoid. What about Portia?

My first thought was "This be where dragons dwell" spoken in an olde worlde Cornish voice! Not that that would disqualify the name necessarily 😉

I think Thisbe matches current name trends pretty well and it sounds nice, with a similar vibe to Phoebe.

But people might not know whether it's Th as in thin or Th as in these, and whether it's S as in snake or S as in rise. I don't know either, to be fair.

I like Xanthe very much then Romy but not keen on the others. Also I wouldn't underestimate the challenge of naming pets!

It's a character in a play within a play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Don't do it.

Thisbe Theverse?

There are so many other, nicer names.

I did know it was a Shakespeare name but it reminds me of Hispi cabbage, the light green pointy one.

It reminds me of theybe, the name ridiculous parents use when they can't decide if their baby's sex is male or female.

Most of those a bit inaccessible. Thisbe is very close to frisbee. Romy seems a bit popular. Maybe Romilly? The classic world seems to be a good place to look for something poetic, but a bit more recognisable

Corinna
Sybil
Minerva
Erinna
Hero
Ianthe
Calliope
Persephone
Ariadne
Gaia
Cosima
Nerida

Love Xanthe.

I fear with Thisbe you’ll get a lot of MND quotes from everyone.

Same as PP, I’d just think “This be a lovely baby” or etc.

Romily?

I love Thisbe!

As long as Pyramus doesn't come back into fashion for boys!

Hard no from me. Sounds like Frisbee.

This is an actual name an actual human will have to carry with them through life...

I’d assume you were interested in the Party Wall Act

Thisbe is a bit of a tragic figure! But then people still use Juliet so I guess it doesn't matter too much!
But I can see people taking the piss "and this be Thisbe", "This be or not to This be" she'll get no end of this type of shite, so I'd give it a swerve!

What's wrong with normal, human names?

Xanthe is nice. Hebe would be a bit less 'out there' than Thisbe.

Signe is not pronounced Signy but Signeh (eh is soft like the end of “whisper”.) not sure it translates well, but it means “Swan”. Thisbe “This Be” - no… Xanthe is great. Ruri is ok. People may expect Ruari/Rory. Raphaelle’s fab but a lot to live up to
