Palma

[Yorkiepud2333]

Chosen by Michelle keegan and Mark Wright for a baby girl.
whats your thoughts?

It is parma violet.

Yes I know but I bet that’s what she gets called.

Personally I could not really give toss about what some random people named their child.

Well you do because you clicked on the thread after seeing the thread title, then instead of leaving you left a comment 🤷‍♀️

I don’t particularly like it but it could be worse I suppose, at least it’s a bit different.

My immediate thought too.

Fecking ridiculous.

Know it's spelt differently but I immediately thought ham.

Parma ham. Parmesan cheese. Parma violets.

I don’t think I hear the ‘L’ so phonetically it’s like all these foods.

Oh well. Each to their own and all that.

Me too!! And started salivating at the thought of a slice. So yummy!

If she’s named after the capital of Mallorca, it would definitely be Pal-ma. But she’ll get misnamed a lot! Pretty name.

We had a Palma in dd's class. I thought it was Parma for a while and thought poor girl but that was before I saw her painting on the wall with Palma written on it and then it clicked lol. Not my cup of tea though I'm afraid.

It made me think of the airport. Also close to Pamela. But each to your own. Friends with unusual baby names have been growers I find.

No, I give a toss about people who make threads about others for their choice of name. Having friends and colleagues who have unusual names (for the UK) and get flack for it makes me sad.

Palma Wright ?

Errr no....

I can imagine how awful it sounds in his strong Essex accent.

I know a family of about 20 people called PALMER; known them for decades, and to me it sounds like that.. PALMER, the surname. Not the Spanish island.

Gonna be a cute af child though. Mark is handsome, and Michelle is GORGEOUS! 😍

I’ve heard a lot worse. And it’s an actual name, though often in Spanish culture it’s associated with being born on Palm Sunday (which she wasn’t - it’s April 13 this year). Palm trees are nice and the couple apparently love (Palma de) Mallorca, so good associations for them.

Anyway, she is a longed-for first child after 10 years of marriage, so her arrival is lovely news.

Or even several in her lifetime if, when she grows up, she turns out to be addicted to love.

It'll be appropriate if she marries a Welsh man with a surname beginning with Ll, but they settle in central London.

Palma Wright does sound a bit like a 'heavily refreshed' Glaswegian who is determined to win an argument in a pub.

Beautiful name

Bit of a silly name.

That's Parma not Palma

Ridiculous!

What's wrong with PEW? As a word, it just means a wooden bench - nothing embarrassing.

Or are you thinking of Pepe le Pew?!

Or Cleethorps (if following the “it’s our favourite place” trend).
