Apricot for a girls name?

[snares]

Apricot as a girls name ?
I love it.

Er.....

No!

I thought Peaches was bad, but Apricot??????

YABU

Dried or fresh? Are you confusing a 'pretty'word with a pretty name?

Though of Prune?

joke, right?

Terrible. Greengage is nice though: or medlar.

It's not to my taste, no.

No, no, no - poor child!

Some words are pretty yes, but they aren't names. At least not of human children.

Vulva
Undulate
Frenulum
Candida
Albumen
Alfalfa
Quinoa

All quite lovely to say, but you don't want to shout them down the bacon aisle.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

may i suggest melon...?

hmmmmm is the name of a salon chain near me!

and also no i don't like it

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
To add to SOHs list - Chlamydia was a name actually used in my local hospital according to the midwives. Mother was warned about the meaning but liked the sound of it so went with it anyway!

see i quite like it

would you use the english or french pronunciation?

How about parsnip; parsley; lychee ; oregano if you like food names?

thx stevie I think its a great name too. don't know the difference in the pronunciation

englishe - i imagine you know that

french - ah- pree- coh

HTH

but i have named my child after a field so wat do i know

i always thought damson would be a pretty name as well

In french Apricot is Abricot

i like it

I like it too!

I know someone called Apricot. Have never asked if she likes her name or not though.

shortened ,she's going to get called ape

I like it! Why not? It has nice associations, a nice sound and is a pretty, feminine colour.

The French spelling and pronunciation is lovely.

what CarmenSanDiego said, I think it's cute, if you like those types of names, it's pretty and not too airy-fairy IYSWIM ooh i know someone called Fairy!
