Liesha? Come tell me

[RagingHormone]

What do we think of Liesha? Lacey? Libby? Lainey? Taree? Brooke Marie?

the only one I like from your list is Libby but I think it should be short for something. The rest are all really awful imo.

I know a thea who spends hours a day having to repeat her name

'fraid i don't like any of your names, and no offence to any Americans out there but to my ears sound very American.

But whatever you go for it as long as remember not everyone will agree otherwise we would all have the same names!

nobody's accusing you of being chavvy, just saying that those names definitely fall into a category that many people will regard as common/chavvy. If that's not something you want, don't go with them. They sound like X-factor contestants. Libby is a sweet short form for Elizabeth.

Why on earth do you say you child will never be an MP? I'm quite shocked at that to be honest.

Lacey is the girl who plays Stacey in Eastenders

Liesha/Lainey/Taree - are they real names?

Brooke is pretty awful on it's own - put with Marie it's much, much worse.

How about Libby short for Liberty if you don't like Elizabeth? Might be more in keeping with your other name choices....

why are you still pluggin on about it mbanana - mn is getting so bitchy

isn't there anything you feel really passionate about arguing about?

'still' plugging on about what SEA? I posted once about the names! Why pick on my post? Come to that, why are YOU still plugging on about it? Haven't you got anything more interesting to think about?

using the word chav and chavvy

Mrsmattie... Your comment about 90210 has properly made me giggle.

I like Libby but not too keen on the others. My favourite irish names are Niamh, dervla and roisin.

oh come on, we all know what it means. I didn't say the OP was chavvy or insult anyone. I merely said that the names were ones that many people will think of as 'chavvy/common' and if that would bother her, maybe she should think again. She did ask! I don't really know why people ask if they don't want to hear an answer. Yes, ask about pronounciation or if a name is popular or whatever, but don't ask for opinions if you don't want to hear them, no matter how they are phrased.

Same old shit about chav names, not proper names. blah blah blah.

surely you can just say which ones you like without wheeling out all this rubbish. And if you don't like any of them a simple I don't like any of them would probably do.

FFS every single thread on MN seems to descend into petty bickering. It's boring! Why do some people have to insult other people, start arguements and play devil's advocate?

The MN naming board is not for the faint hearted. I do think you will get a fairly representative response of what the general public thinks on here. The Babycentre baby name forum is more tolerant of Hubert and Brynhild and more politely sniffy about Chelsea and Banjo.

I just can't see the point in being horrible/offensive to other people whether on MN or in RL

NObody has insulted you RH!

I am still interested as to why you are so sure your child could never become an MP, actually.

RH you just seem to be ridiculously over sensitive - not just on name threads but on others as well. You had some strop over on a weaning thread because people had a different opinion.

It's a public forum - you asked for opinions and people gave them. What you actually want is for people to agree with you all the time.

Well I'm hardly going to bring my children up to be liars for one. Secondly, my family are all teachers, I'm a teacher, we have teacher friends, my DP is a professional in his field, as are his family- and we have no interest in politics. I assume we will have quite an influence on our children and so they are very unlikely to become MPs. Also, have you ever known of an MP who went to a public school? Probably not. We also live in the NW, away from the action.

I was being realistic.

I also don't think Tony is much of a PM name. Gordon is, I suppose.

Anyway, I'm not at all interested in getting involved in MN bickering.

It wasn't a strop over a weaning thread, everyone else stropped on my weaning thread.

Honestly Nancy, trying to start another virtual row are we? I'm off to do more important things. Bicker with someone else. Night.

Liesha - not keen, sounds like Sean Connery saying 'Lisa'

Lacey - Ok, much prefer Lucy

Libby - Lovely name. I would use it as a shortened form of Elizabeth but thats because i love the name Elizabeth. I totally get your point though, absolutely no point in naming her the longer version if you don't like it

Lainey - not keen

Taree - prefer the suggestion Thea, very pretty

Brooke Marie - don't like

Good luck and don't get too upset by comments on here, people tend to go for a no-holds-barred approach when it comes to baby names

Don't understand why you would get into a naming thread unless you are pg and really have to think of one. You know they always descend into fights so why start one for the hell of it?
