Ok so how terrible would it be to use Bluebell, really?

Because I love it

It is very very unusual, in fact the only one I know of is Geri Halliwell's daughter (and that's not why I like it)

H thinks it'd be cruel, but I think that as it's a flower name it's not that weird surely?

So what do you think?

i like it. i have a dd whose middle name is one of the more unusual flower names (already slagged off on here) and i have and will never regret it.

first names are however important and i would hate for dd to be teased in any way for her name hence why we used it as her second name. my whole family love it though and call her by it anyway!

i like it too, but as a middle name perhaps rather than a first name. i guess you have to think beyond when your daughter is a baby and even a teenage, to when she is an adult and OAP, and how it might be for her then. I do think it is pretty though and anyone who says it is a cows name obviously must know some very strange farmers!!!

My daughter is Honey and I always get complimented for it. I occasionally get asked why I named her that. But it literally popped into my head when she came out and she has gorgeous Honey coloured hair so it really suits her.

Think Bluebell is lovely.

it's a bit silly

It's the sort of name you think would be all sweet and lovely for a gorgeous little baby, for a tiny pixie child. And then they grow up and they're human.
