Plum ...

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'

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.
