I moaned at DH to stop vetoing all my names and come up with one himself so he has.....

[Leannabanana]

DH has suggested this....Honey Rose

i'm not sure what i think.....i think i like it....??

its funny cos when i tried this name out on all my RL friends and my mum, Sis and SIL they all loved it....but you are right percy it is the sort of name that always takes a pasting on MN....i personally do like it expecially as it means my mothers name {she is called Pamela which means All honey} - how does it get received in RL with your daughter?

Other middle names to Rose you say?!?!? Well you must be referring to Grace as that's the only other one I can think of

Calalilly- you're forgetting May/Mae

Oh sorry Belgo- that was an oversight on my part!

RE: Honey Rose- I think it's pretty, sweet and modern as it's akin with names liked by celebrities. However, I must agree that Honey is not a name I'd like as a grown up person in the working world as it carried associations with names like Cherry and Bambi

Definitely wouldn't want to be called Honey as an adult.

How are you ever going to be taken seriously with a name like Honey?

And the potential for twee/undermining nicknames and mickey taking are almost endless!

what about Hazel/Heather/Holly if he likes pretty names beginning with H?

Rose is lovely. Honey is naff.

Leannabanana remember that Mumsnetters exist in real life too.

All that changes in RL is that no-one would tell you that they don't like the name - cause you probably wouldn't have asked.

We'd still be thinking it though....

I think Honey as an adult is quite groovy and would have absolutely no bearing on how I would percieve someone as it wouldn't for a lot of people.Mn is v stiff when it comes to names.

No no no. there's a brand of herbal cigarettes called Honey Rose. They are vile.

i just think that people grow into the name they are given and that her character is going to play a far bigger part in how she is perceived by others and that is how she will be judged....all we can do is name them with love.....Honey excites me far more than matilda or isabella...but i have more reservations about it than i do about some more classic names...if it was up to my mother for example this baby would be elizabeth alice...MN has certainly made me less judgemental of other peoples choices as it is not nice feel judged....i will be quite relieved in a way when i don't feel quite so obsessed with baby names IYKWIM...

I quite like Honey. It is a proper name, lovely for a child and I think intriguing for an adult.

Honey Ruth

Honey Sophia

Honey Lucia

Honey Catherine

Honey Eve

i agree with the middle name not being rose....herbal ciggies have put an end to that for me....

Honey Lily?
Honey Wyn?
Honey Jane?

I really like Honey its a pretty name, i wouldn't mind being called it as an adult.

I knew a (grown-up) Honey. Everyone always said "What a lovely name" when they met her, and then just got on happily with their lives.

No big deal at all.

Ok, someone has to say it...

Honey Roast Ham

You could make friends with Nicole Kidman and her 'Sunday Roast' though!!

I'm called Honey - by my husband as a term of endearment.

I'm not really sure I would like it as a 'proper' name, but I guess as long as you don't go the whole celebrity hog and call her Honey Rainbow Petal Blossom Apple Trixabelle, it's possibly ok

I'm always surprised mnetters bring up the 'well, it wouldn't be appropriate if he/she would be a lawyer/Politian/doctor'!! HOW DULL. SNORE! Seriously!!

OP you have it right, name your baby with love. That's all you can do - as he or she in this instance grows up, she will be given merit on her ABILITIES. Not her name.

We're not talking about calling it Murder, Chewit, Bludgeon or Scab are we???

Honey is a very lovely name, as is Rose IMO.

Lily Rose

Honey Jane is gorgeous.

Honey May is really lovely. i have an Ellie Mae so no stranger to a mumsnet pasting myself percy....Honey Jane is really doing it for me at the minute and my Ellie has been wandering around the house singing the Abba song from mamma mia film 'Honey Honey' at the top of her voice to show how much she likes the name....please don't leave MN percy - who will have my back????
