Girl name - Navy

[hoohaal]

Is the girl name ‘Navy’ just a bit nuts?

When I first heard it I thought it was ridiculous, but now I kind of like it. The thought of shouting ‘Navy’ across the park is a bit silly though isn’t it?

God no.

Hopefully your second name isn't blue.

A UK influencer / reality star has named her 2nd or 3rd daughter this.

It's a bit weird but I've heard worse.

My daughter said she loved the name Navy i think it's horrendous.
Maybe ok for a dog or cat but a child.........😂

”In the Navy,
Yes, you can sail the seven seas,
In the Navy,
Yes, you can put your mind at ease”

Haven’t read the thread, but I’m guessing a fair few people have this in their heads. In theory Navy should be like Scarlet, Amber, Red, Indigo ie. usable like many colour “names”, if perhaps uncommon. But in reality Navy is also like naming your kid Army and just invites potential teasing imo.

Well no, because it really is named after the Navy. It’s ’Navy blue’. Violet and Lilac are flower names which also have colours named after them, it’s like that but an armed force not a pretty plant!

I think it’s pretty. I know someone with a daughter called Navy, it’s not that “out there”

In France Marine is a very popular name

If she joined the Navy she could be Lieutenant Navy Smith Royal Navy.

Do you have military connections?

Violet is for the flower, like Rose or Poppy.

Yeah but Bleu Marin isn't ...

In answer to your question op, yes, to me it is a little bit nuts.

One worse option would be to add a second v and have navvy - a road construction labourer.

I just don't think it has got much going for it tbh.

And names like Violet are for flowers. This is more like calling someone Green or Yellow or Duck Egg Blue. Or, if you think of the navy, what about Airforce?

I've met a Navy - I wouldn't use it myself but actually think it's really cute!

I think this one was short for Navayah though (a mispelling of Nevaeh/Heavan backwards).

What ‘girl name Navy’?

Can any old word become a baby name?

Jello

Weirdly I like it, probably easier in the US than UK though. Can you spell it Navee

Nayveigh?

Neighvi is a bit horsey maybeigh.

You mean like:

Or:

Dire

My children’s names are in that list

Ridiculous - give your head a wobble

Her school chums will call her “Knickers” for short.

The twins, Humility and Raspberry? So cute 😍

Is she going to school in 1955?

Why?
