got my names what do you think

[narkymum]

girl- breeze
boy-Zion

Just spotted you on here Spidermama-Dropinthe here-long time no speak!! How are you? x

narky, what's important is that you like them.

Mine have got names that people were about..

are they in this league onebat?

sorry but those names are awful

I know a Blaise, nice unusual name

I quite like Breeze-Zion has rastapharian connotations yeah?

Breeze - poor child on any windy day
Zion - not too bad

They are both very different. Have you thought how it would be in the playground.

Breeze is just sooo daft - different for the sake of it but without thinking of the consequences. People will laugh at you and, more importantly, laugh at your poor child. Don't do it - it's cruel.

Zion - don't like it but slightly more bearable than Breeze.

No, they're not, GE. But the principal remains.

I loathe these babyname threads, because you know that people don't really want to hear other people's 'truth', however much they profess to. Their feelings are bound to get hurt.

It all comes down to groups - socioeconomic/political/religious/whatever.

If you manage to dissuade someone from calling their child, say, Mary, they will call them Jane instead. So IMO these jumpings-on serve no actual purpose, other than to make people feel stupid.

Hmm. I see I neglected to turn my dial down from 'very pompous' towards 'gently chiding'.

Actually, only read the first few responses and GE's response to mine.. and the thread didn't in fact develop into the kicking that it looked to.

Principal remains, though

Sorry I don't like them at all.

Breeze sounds like sneeze. Or people will think she was conceived under the influence of a Bacardi Breezer.

Zion is just odd. Might be misheard as Simon.

Breeze may be a bit too much - imagine shouting it in the supermarket - or a receptionist saying Dr Breeze X will see you now.... What about Brianne - that has some of the same sort of sounds and is more well-known.

Zion - that's just Not Good - really sorry but it doesn't pass either of the above tests. Call the poor lamb Zach and have done!

Very funny onebat, I appreciate you turning down the notch to gently chiding!

I totally see your point. BUT sometimes I feel compelled to save people from themselves!

Actually, I often try to steer somebody away from a name and steer them towards something a little less extreme but in the same style.

Take Breeze and Blaise. Zion and Leon/Zeb.

Since you ask, I think they are both ridiculous.

dont like either of them sorry, breeze ( febreeze) zion (lion) just mean

I like Zion, and am quietly singing Bob Marley to myself as I type. Iron, like the lion, in Zion....
What about Marley? Or Ziggy?
Breeze? It is growing on me as I think about it. A bit like River or Brooke. The child would have to be pretty and delicate I think.

They are both quite nice sounding words in themselves but just sound a bit too much like a desperate attempt to be different. I think Zion is quite a strong name and a lot to live up to. Breeze is very hippy and with that brings lots of preconceptions.

Cantsleepwontsleep how unecessarily rude of you.

Whatever happened to Nancy and Arnold?

Am not sure it is real as the OP has not come back!

Not keen on either myself.

Depends what cultural background you are coming from with Zion.
Breeze, nearly pretentious but not even that, just a little silly.

In the current international political climate, Zion is just cruel, and asking for trouble for the poor kid, IMO.

love them

Narkymum- have you come to a conclusion then?
