Apricot for a girls name?

[snares]

Apricot as a girls name ?
I love it.

Sorry, but ewwww

I know an Apricot too Boggle - i wonder if it's the same one

How about Mirabel/Mirabelle? It's a type of plum - I think Plum would be a fab nickname.

Or Amandine?

Or Annemone, (okay fish not fruit - but apparently well posh in France).

Read a book years ago which had a baby Tangerine.

April Charlotte with nick name Apricot would be cute. But landing her with Apricot for ever would be too much.

I don't like fruit names even though I know a 'Peach' & she's lovely. Apricot sounds a bit ridiculous to me, sorry. In the same category as Gwyneth's 'Apple'.

Better than Apple but not as good as Peaches, Berry, Cherry and Clementine.

Hmmmm with the middle name brandy perhaps. It's wrong.

Doesn't pass the Prime Minister test.

you need to stop smoking ice right now.

Utterly stupid. I'd pity the kid.

Nooooooooo ...

why not call her banana?

I quite like it...

My DD's middle name is plum

Just plain cruel and stupid.

You're not naming a hamster, or a kitten or even a baby. You are naming an adult woman.

Apricot does NOT work as a name, its a fruit. Also it will sounds completely ridiculous when she is an adult. Names are more important than many people realise, please do not lumber her with a no name because you happen to like how it sounds.

only if her middle name is jam

Better not introduce her to my DD. She can's say the word so calls them "achey cocks"

apricot jam tart will be her nickname at school, don't call a child apricot, kids are cruel, parents even crueler for saddling their dc's with daft names.

Give your child a fighting chance in the real world, for heaven's sake...

I think it is a lovely name. It suits a little girl and an old lady but perhaps not a teenager or middle aged woman.

That will be a difficult one to carry.

It is quite "different" and could become a burden to the child.

Fruit wise: Clementine is much more accepted. Or Mirabel, Cerise, Framboise, Prunella.

I do know a Lychee, she uses her middle name instead.

Love these threads - go for it, and thoughout her life she will make everyone she meets snigger.

Laughter is good - there is a lot to be said for cheering people up.
