Genuinely considering Cinderella

my 2 dd's love the disney princesses - am I suffering from over-exposure do you think? as the name Cinderella now seems quite an acceptable option for a girl - shortened to Cindy or Ella.

Step away from the Disney dvds before anyone else gets hurt or you call the baby Pocahontas.

But Cinderella's name was Ella.

Stick with Ella

imo just a tad too far

cindy is also associated with the dolls

Ella is lovely too

what about Luella or Carmella?

Maybe for a doll, Cinderella is a little silly. I can see a hundred sniggering mums at every toddler group, if you can take it go ahead.

but it's so pretty and I love the cinderella dvd as it's the only truly non-scary disney dvd that keeps the dd's amused so I can cook dinner. Cinderella is such a pretty name and does go will my surname.

You are suffering from pregnancy hormones. Lie down in a darkened room until the madness passes.

If you still wish to use a name that was invented as a taunt for a fictional character (because she was treated as a servant) then you can only do so if you change your name to Fairy Godmother and your dh's to Prince Charming. By deed poll. And we will need to see a certified copy scanned and place on your profile page or MNers will be picketing the registry office.
