What do you think of Beryl??
I think i am starting to love it, but would love some opinions please (I have no intentions of talking about names in rl as evryone goes [hmm[!).
Does it go well with Eli, Amos, Pearl and Iris?
Is it going to become immensely trendy/faddy as i am really trying to avoid anything faddy if at all possible.
TIA

Sorry I dont really like it

SoupDragon · 19/08/2009 18:58

To me it sounds dated (rather than old-lady-chic IYSWIM!).It's not hideous though, just not my thing.

rubyslippers · 19/08/2009 19:00

nope ...

Remotew · 19/08/2009 19:00

I don't like it, sorry.

muggglewump · 19/08/2009 19:02

Good grief no.

It's hideous.

noddyholder · 19/08/2009 19:04

I think its a grower and quite sweet in some ways.

I don't think theres much danger of it becoming "immensely trendy/faddy" so you've no worries on that front.

Sorry, not keen

motomoto · 19/08/2009 19:06

no way, awful

MamaLazarou · 19/08/2009 19:08

Ha ha ha, this old-lady name trend has gone TOO FAR!

LynetteScavo · 19/08/2009 19:09

Well, I would say no, but as I'm really not keen on Amos (and you are, Op) then why not?

SoupDragon · 19/08/2009 19:17

I actually think it's quite pretty and it's growing on my but it's a name from my mother's generation and it's not come back into favour yet. it was our neighbour's name when I was growing up and the name of one of my mother's friends.

Remotew · 19/08/2009 19:17

Hang on, I've just twigged have you been watching Emmerdale OP

Thunderduck · 19/08/2009 19:22

It's awful.

Thunderduck · 19/08/2009 19:23

Besides you can't have Beryl and Pearl.It sounds ridiculous.

goomum · 19/08/2009 19:27

I think it is great. Ignore the naysayers. You are just a bit before your time in your thinking. It will definitely come back but not in a big way, I reckon. It goes well with your other kid's names too.

TaxiLady · 19/08/2009 19:30

my mil is called beryl

hth!

MrsBarbaraKingstanding · 19/08/2009 19:34

May I suggest Dilys?

We loved this name but had boys. i think it would go well with your other names.

Not keen on Beryl...although as you keep saying it it has a nice sound to the word...so could be a grower

Beryl, would be a good sister for yesterdays Finty. Or not?

Remotew · 19/08/2009 19:41

There is an Eli, Amos, Pearl and Beryl from Emmerdale, not sure about Iris but there may have been.
