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....??

i am only thirteen wks.....i have forever to go.....Pearl is v cute....my DM especially likes tht one but DH vetoed [he does a lot of that...]i am not sure if MN is a blessing or a curse to be honest because i am soooo much more preoccupied with names now than i was with my other two and this topic just fuels the fire ha ha. Honey is certainly a contender tho....the only other names he likes are alice, daisy and lily and i feel like they are lovely but not the 'one'...

What everyone seems tho forget, that names we say will not suit a prime minister/judge/posh job ^WILL* because in 5 years time these names will be the norm, and names that we now call 'normal' will be deemed 'silly' by our daughters.

And BTW I love Honey

That was suppose to be 25 years time (2 dosnt always work)

Honey rose was a herbal tobacco people used for spliffs when they didn't want nicotine when I was young, don't know if it's still about. V nasty and smelly.

I do know two little girls called Honey, though.

How about Marmite Rose? Less sickly than Honey.

you are right Honey Rose cannot happen due to the herbal cig association.

any suggestions for nice middle names?

Percy - I LOVE the name Pearl - what a great choice!

Thanks JemL it suits her and good to know others like it.

No. Too sticky. Great name for a cough medicine. I agree with the poster who said there are other middle names besides Rose.

What about Honor instead of Honey. Honor with NN Honey (if you must I really don't like it much). It's either cutesy or sexualised. I know some people don't seem to mind giving their child a name which is sexualised, but seems an odd thing to do imo.

Honor Jane would be really lovely. (and really mumsnetty ) Jane is no longer predictable as a mn. Its simplicity is appealing now because if it's chosen now, it's chosen because parents really like it, not because it was the first thing that popped into their head.

All I can think of is her future husband walking in and saying 'Hi Honey, I'm home!'

I knew a girl whose sur name was Love, and she used to hate when people she couldn't bear called her "Love" as happened a lot in school/when younger.

Wdyt of Honor Jane then with Honey as a nn??

Honey is lovely. I went to school with a terribly posh Honey if that helps you get past the Eastendery comments at all!

i knew an older lady named Honey who'd had tons of plastic surgery. i didn't think it was her real name when i heard it at first. it sounds like a nn, but it's not shockingly unconventional.

i don't think of honey as sexualised name at all so i don't know where that comes from?? should look at your reading/viewing habits there margot ha....Honor is nice tho - i like it but Honey pips it for me.

Isnt HoneyRose a brand of herbal cigarettes?

I quite like either name on its own...but not together.

I like Honey... on my toast, no seriously I think it is very cute. What about Honey Violet or Honey Iris? Keeps the floral theme but not as cliched as Rose?

Yes, I would drop the Rose too.

I really like Honey but not Honey Rose, its too much together, sounds like a toiletry brand or something and theres way too many kids with Rose as a middle name.

IMO Honey doesnt sound like a NN theres some names that definitely do sound like they should have a full formal name behind them such as Katy -my sister is a katy, but not a Katherine and she is constantly asked if Katy is "short for something" so when we were thinking of using Roxy, Lexi and Elle for DD4 I was doing hubbys head in telling him we'd have to give her a formal proper name (Roxanne/Alexa/Elizabeth) but Honey doesnt have that problem and I dont actually see how its a NN for Honor other than the first 3 letters being the same

ps we didnt use Roxy/Lexi or Elle - I decided they were way too popular and the first too were a little sexy (foxy roxy, sexy lexi) so we went with hubbys choice of Lauren....I know, I know theres bloody millions of them, I've never noticed just how many Laurens there are!!

Noooooooo.

Dd's best friend is called Honey. She is a fab and groovy little thing. Her family are super-posh, and I know she will carry her name through to adulthood with style and aplomb.
