I'd love your thoughts.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Makes me think of milk.

xmasdealhunter · 08/03/2025 18:11

I like it but it does remind me of the milk brand. What about Darla?

HoldingThePoisonDown · 08/03/2025 18:11

As pp. it’s a food company that does dairy foods. Sorry op.

watchmeflyhigh · 08/03/2025 18:12

It's a lovely name.

Darla will always be the devil child from Nemo.

muddyford · 08/03/2025 18:12

Another one thinking immediately of the dairy company.

MonkeyPuddle · 08/03/2025 18:13

Milk

ShowAndGo · 08/03/2025 18:14

On the plus side, she'll get to see some big tankers with her name on?

Changeissmall · 08/03/2025 18:14

It’s a bit wet. Flimsy. One of those made up modern vaguely feminine names.

loropianalover · 08/03/2025 18:15

What about Orla or Isla?

cheekycee · 08/03/2025 18:15

Beautiful name

SunshineAndFizz · 08/03/2025 18:15

Sounds like a feminine version of Arlo - a bit gimmicky that won't date well.

cheekycee · 08/03/2025 18:16

My little one is called Aria

Modernskylines · 08/03/2025 18:17

Arla is the name of a massive multinational milk processing corporate. Their brands include Lurpak & Cravendale. The Arla milk tanker regularly & noisily visits the farm across the road from me first thing in the morning.

EmpressaurusKitty · 08/03/2025 18:21

I think most people are going to think of the dairy company, unfortunately.

Charcadet · 08/03/2025 18:22

Arla are the company currently adding anti fart additive to our nation's cow's feed.

MemorableTrenchcoat · 08/03/2025 18:24

It’s a lot nicer than, say, Unigate.

DuchessOfNarcissex · 08/03/2025 18:30

How about (Dairy) Crest?

Seriously, it looks like you thought the baby was going to be Arlo, and couldn't be bothered to think of a different name when she turned up.

Pinkelephant66 · 08/03/2025 18:31

Arla Big Milk

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 08/03/2025 18:31

Marylou2 · 08/03/2025 18:33

Commercial dairy not a child's name.

DaisyChain505 · 08/03/2025 18:34
