Pelonica? too poncey?

[coffeecups]

Saw a great programme about Pelonica ( Nica) Rothschild, the jazz baronness, who hung out with Thelonius Monk, Charlie Parker etc. But is it too much. Pregnancy hormones means a lack of balance at present

Pelonica is a bit much, yes, I think. But Nica's fine - why not go for that?

definitely too much. Nica's fine or Nina is nice

I'm with hester.

I have never heard of this name but I really think you should go for it

I think it's a really ugly name but it's not my baby.

Aww it's not ugly, it's just unusual - I like it!

Hmm - I picked a similar-ish name for DD whilst pregnant, and whilst I still love her name we have shortened it for everyday use, and it is worth bearing in mind you will have to repeat/spell the name on a daily basis for evermore.

Having said that, I like the name you've chosen and think it is lovely

Nica does sound awfully close to knickers. Not being critical, just trying to point out a potential downside.

Dh suggests it sounds like it's a radio active element from the atomic table!

What does it mean???

I think possbily a little too waaaaay out, but what do I know....

Or a Greek resort...

It's not good. It's your hormones.

Nica sounds too like Nisa stores to me.
to answer your OP - Yes IMHO

It sounds like PLONKER to me.

I'm with paolo, sounds like a greek island...will prob be shortened to Pelly in Primary school.

I don't think its poncey at all. I do however think it sounds like a scabby veneral disease. Sorry.

I'm guessing from the Nica part of the post that its actually pronounced Pel-o-Nica. But when I saw it I would have pronounced it Pel-on-isa. People won't have a clue how to say it.

I read it to be Pel - on - ica

i think it's supposed to be pronounced the way Smac says. And i think it was a type of butterfly or moth - i think invented by her dad who was a keen naturalist. Thanks for the views. DH would never allow it, but i'm allowed to dream aren't I?

NO.

Sounds like the latin for Pelican to me.

LOL LadyPinkofPinkerton

It reminds me of a pelican too.

It's an interesting name, not ugly, just different.

sorry the first thing I thought of was Colonica...as in colonic, as in irrigation. But that is just me. Not my bag I'm afraid!

ladypink

lol @ colonic & plonker

reminds me of Polony too !
