Plum ...

[havinganightin]

Thank God I am not pregnant because last night I was thinking what I would call my next DC and decided that I liked the name Plum.

I have never met anyone with this name or ever really thought about it before. Can anyone tell me - is it a real name or is it a nn?

I am sure that you all think it is awful ...

My cousin has a DS who has Plum as a middle name. His big brothers used it as a nickname for him before he was born and it kind of stuck so they decided to use it as a middle name. I think it's quite sweet.

Makes me think of testicles

It reminds me of the daughter of Jackie who was called Plum in Tony Parsons book 'One for my baby'

Rodney you plum!

I went to school with a boy called Andrew Plum ..... A. Plum, can you imagine!???

Thanks all.

If I ever have a DD I might call her something else entirely (don't like Pamela/Prunella or any of the other 'proper' names) and use it as a nn.

Sorry Shaz10 - it's a grower, isn't it

I really like the name plum-hence my nickname and also I can't stop eating them!
I think I would have it as my babies middle name though-It is a name as much as any name is...Apple anyone?

Also it was the 5552 popular baby name in the UK in 2008 (national statisitcs online). lol.
