Damson

[Cecy]

Just out of interest.
Was wondering what opinions were on the name Damson for a girl.

i have a little relative who is named after a fruit, it's nice

it's not her real name tho

that is incredibly bizarre

Mine isn't good.

eek - not sure

may grow on me

what would it be shortened to? dam/sonny

I mean her real name is bizarre

sounds a bit like a rabbit

I don't like it personally.
Reminds me of a fruit.

if you want to call your child after a plum then it's up to you!

It's a jam.

Cappucino are you related Apple Gwyneth Coldplay?

noooo.
like you wanted to be a bit paltrowy but apple was taken. plus it sounds like you wanted a boy 'damn - a son!' bad idea

makes me think of jam and the womens institute

There was mention of this on another thread in the last couple of days.

Big fat NO from me.

jam

and cap - you know someone who is named 'bizarre'?

Jam as well

and Stone.

From now on all babies born to mumsnetters should be called Kennedi Sante Cinderella, save any discussions then , doesn't matter what sex the baby is either

reminds me of primary school
our teacher used this to show how to do long multiplication or division (its that good i cant remember)!
divide
add
multiply
subtract
o ? cnat remember
n number (final answer)

cant remember rest, you get the picture.. (yes, that i am crap with numbers)!
oh
and
dont like it as name either sorry

'whacky' for the sake of it and just plain cruel to the kid.

If you want to name her after a variety of plum, then how about Victoria?

It's not a jam, WT! It's a gin .

Damson Jamson, hehe.

Bit odd. Semi - cute.

Prefer Tamsin though.

Gosh no, I'm not considering this myself. I've just seen this twice recently on "real" little baby girls.
I like the idea of the name, the colour etc but wouldn't use myself. Don't mind the jam connection, but the nickname choices really aren't great!
