Peach?

[wombleprincess]

not even pregnant, but what is general consensus?

My cat is called peach. after the tart with a heart in Lonesome Dove

Good god no! Unless you want her to have a future in porn.

atrocious, and not even fun/trendy. just awful.

sorry, i am not usually this direct on baby names, but i feel I owe it to your unborn child to put you off. she'd hate you for it.

How would you feel if your parents had named you Peach?
No. It's awful.

Have you been playing Mario Kart?

No, unless you are describing someones bottom. . . .

Awful. Sorry.

good. thank you mumsnetters! I personally love the directness of this forum!

I'm friends with a teenage Peach, we were mates at school when IW was between about 10 and 13, when she left. She was a couple of years below me. Save for an initial wave of laughter and a few hisses of "Peach?! What the fu*k?" when the new childrens' names were read out in assembly at the beginning of term she didn't get any substantial grief I have to admit (and there were kids who did). Although she had what it took to carry it off if you see what I mean. Very, very skinny and delicately pretty, the archetypal "queen bee" type. Cool as a cucumber.

It could work theoretically, depending on where you live, how the kid turns out etc. But personally I wouldn't risk it. To be brutally honest it does sound horribly twee and pretentious.

She'd need an awfully pert bottom.

You called?

Oh, right... erm... NO!
