Have I just found that sought after rare yet simple and pretty girl's name?

[RubiMama]

Bay.

Opinions please

Yes Ebay another extremely good reason not to.

Dreadful

DOn't mind it too much, there are worse names out there...!

Yes I thought eBay.

I think it is a nothingy name. It would just drift off the end of your sentence due to lack of consonants and hard sounds. Hi I'm baaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy.......... zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I love Bay - it's one of my faves and DD was almost called it.

Pinky Gorgeous sounds like a euphemism for a fanjo.

TRy saying it in a north east accent with flat vowells and it doesn't sound pretty.....

DrNortherner...bit like Robin Hood's...?!!

Yes!! Just like Robin Hoods BBaaaaaaaay. We empahise the AAAAAA rather that the Y. Am I making sense?

oh yes!! Can't bea' tha' yokshur accent!!

I know a woman in her 90s who is called Bay...as a nickname meaning baby (she was the baby of her family). Her real name is Elizabeth (I think).

I don't mind it at all. I think of the herb too. If the spices saffron and ginger can be used as names, then why not Bay? Dare to arouse opinion!

I know a little boy called Baye so I guess I would think of it as a boys name.

But I really loved Percy as a girls name (had 2 boys so didn't use it)so.....

lots of potential for rude jokes - parking bays/ loading bays?

It depends where you live - Bay would sound awful in a brummy accent!

I quite like it. When I first read the op it sounded pleasant enough and now it's really growing (no pun) on me. It made me think of Bay trees and as far as plant names go it's one of the better ones imvho. It's also phonetic which is always a plus!

I love rose.

Claudia Rose is the name of my fantasy baby.

I think of inlets and the sea and sand. I like it.

Oh I agree pinky gorgeous is like a fanjoy nick name. terrible terrible

I'd assume shortened from 'Bailey' which I'd say is a boy's name.

Have you considered Bea/Beatrice?

It's wimpy and abbreviated-sounding.
Nah.
Or should that be .....nay.

I think most will ask is that short for Bailey?

I think Bay Garnett, super-cool stylist, lovely name, the baying hounds association would be my only concern.

There is also new-agey guru Brandon Bays
