Bazalgette (if it hasn't been mentioned so far) - all shades of brown would be covered 😂

😂Got rid of The Great Stink, though!

On the one hand Grisette fits the specs but in the other its a) a pretty maudlin shade of grey, b) slang for a working class woman in the Third Republic c) sounds like a character from a Victor Hugo novel who’s wasting away from consumption and d) a mushroom.

I’d do another nice ‘ette’ name and not worry about the colour personally but verdette is ok too. Don't worry about people saying it's made up - all names are made up

I know it seems like your thread has gone pear shaped ( it is mumsnet 😁 )
but there are some good suggestions lurking within

Any thoughts ?

Calliopespa · 10/04/2025 12:00

Mallet

Even better if that's already OP's name that she wishes to bestow on her DD as well - as a family thing.

Then she could be Mallette's Mallette Grin

Bullette
Caskette

Caskette is so dark! 😭😂😂

This thread is even funnier than than the ick one - literally cry laughing at some of these

What's the ick one? I've enjoyed this one too. Regrette or cassette have been my favs.

Scarlett and Violet are beautiful names, I’m going to assume op added the t to Violett to link with her sister which is a lovely thing to do, clearly family bonds and stories are important to op.

My sibling’s middle name does not have the same ending as mine. Neither of them will ever appear on a Dulux chart either. We still have a family bond!

I'm very offended at your insulting comments - as though there's somehow something wrong with taking inspiration from the Dulux charts for beautiful baby names.

My sisters are called Moonlight Rhapsody, Sorrento Sunset and Arcadian Meadow. My name is Magnolia Trade-Value-Joblot - and we're as close a family as could be.

Hollieandtheivie · 10/04/2025 14:30

Has anyone said Trampette? 🤔
