Anyone heard Bliss used?

[Cortina]

What are your thoughts? A nicer name than Joy and I think we had a Great Granny with the name so it must have been in circulation at some point?

Quite like but could it be hard to live up to/too much opportunity for teasing?

Someone in a Jackie Collins (modern equivalent) novel. I would move away from the heavenly names like Serafina and Bliss. What if she grows up to be an enormous hairy old dyke?

Not my cup of tea, I am afraid. Sounds a bit twee.

What if she turns out to be a grumpy wee soul?

I know of a Bliss.

Sisters called Ocean and Precious.

Not my cup of tea but then I like more 'serious' names.

only in dodgy rap songs I imagine

I know of a little girl called Liberty Bliss - quite original I thought

Liberty Bliss is sweet. It is quite cute as a middle name.

"be an enormous hairy old dyke?"
Nice choice of phrase there

I've heard of a little girl called Bliss. I think it's quite nice.

Dis - thank you. I thought it had a certain ring to it.

We have friends with Bliss as their surname.

Not sure as a first name though.

Recently heard it in an episode (Love and Monsters) of Doctor Who - human, female, pretty, absorbed by Peter Kay's green skinned Absorbalov ...

Personally I'm quite turned on by the thought of an enormous hairy dyke called Bliss.

Bliss is the name of a prem. baby charity, thats what came to mind. Don't think I'd saddle my kid with a name like that, would cause too many problems and teasing.

Yes, a few years ago. It was Bliss-Ella. Actually suited the little girl but i'm not totally struck on it.

Bliss would end up as Blister, although it's a nice name, imo.

Dreadful.

Joy is lovely. Or Faith, Honour, Constance, Hope - something like that.

yes i knew one once, it's quite nice, don't mind it

She might get nicknamed Blister pretty rapidly. On the upside she wouldn't have to have a stage name if she became a stripper

I'm afraid i associate it with both sex and drugs, so not a name I'd be giving a little girl. I don't like virtue names (not that bliss is a virtue anyway - much too free and easy!).

Yes I do know one. It is actually her middle name but her parents call her Bliss.
It did seem strange at first but we have got used to it.

I'm with nooka, there is something 'sexual' about the word/name Bliss - sorry.

weird, I like Liberty Bliss but not Bliss on its own as a first name

Bliss is a lap dancer.

But that is the way my head works

I never thought of it as a proper name tbh but came across it for the first time today as a name while reading this sad article about stillbirth and I thought what a beautiful name and how appropriate. So am loving it at the moment...

I think there was a woman in Dynasty called Bliss. Really don't like it sorry.
