whats your thoughts?

Parma violets, not Palma

Palma Violet?

Yes as in Parma Violets - the sweets?

I can imagine her being called Palma Violet.

Honestly I wish I never made that comment now.

PEW sounds like poo.

I wonder when we'll see lots of threads about parents-to-be who are set on calling new babies Scunthorpe or Lightwater in honour of their very favourite place in the world, and asking what nicknames could go with them?

I like it.
Congratulations to them.
I have friends with now adult children who named them after a special place/where they were conceived:
India, Sofia, Brontë, Sennen (cove) Siena, Hudson, Lucca.
The now young adults don't really care about how they got their names, (and none dislike their names) apart from Sofia (32) who loves the fact that she was named after the place she was conceived and happily tells people.

Ah, I suppose - maybe. Although nobody ever thinks you're being offered a turd (or the opportunity to produce one) when somebody jovially invites you to 'take a pew'!

You'd have to be a bit careful where in the world you tried to conceive, though - Sofia's siblings Ouagadougou and Ljubljana might not thank you! Especially if the former was given the nickname Pineapple at school

All anyone will think is Palma Mallorca and that it must have been where she was conceived. It's not a name and sounds ridiculous. Paloma would have been a really good nod to it and a proper name.

Oh gosh is that the actual name they've chosen?
I saw it written on a news site yesterday but assumed it was Paloma and whoever had written the headline had accidentally left the O out 😳.

Nope,too try hard.

Don’t love it but don’t hate it. It’s quite pretty.

What do people mean by ‘too try hard’?

No, it doesn’t.

I wouldn’t use it myself but I really like it. I do like more out there names.

I think it’s fine. It’s a tree name, no different to Holly or Rowan, or many other plant names - eg, Rosa.

I misread initially and thought it was Pamela

I actually like it

Awful

Not terrible, but doesn’t sound nice or look nice written down. I just keep thinking of Patsy Palmer, or that it sounds like a thief (“Watch your keys - he’s a real palmer!). It also sounds bad with Wright - like you’re going to slap someone: palm ‘er right!

They like it though and it’s far from the worst of names.

It also sounds bad with Wright - like you’re going to slap someone: palm ‘er right!

🤣😆🤣

It's not awful. It's better than Paula or Alma. That's the best I can say about it.

the name makes me hungry thinking of chicken parmigiana

Trying too hard to be different, unique, stand out from the crowd.
