Jonquil

[HarderToKidnap]

It IS a horrible name, isn't it?

Someone is trying to sell it to me. I am sure I hate it but they are banging on so much I am possibly almost changing my mind.

lol, it's ok, not something i would use myself though

it's not loveable, no.
sorry to Jonqui - shortened version, that lovely jolly rotound, do anything for anyone guy i've known for 30 years. but no.

Junkie? Not keen.

I think it's rather pretty. But perhaps for a middle name.

Howabout Jonquil Narcissus? Most Spring-like.

My sister had a donkey called Jonquil!

I met a Jonquil once. I was only about 8, but I sniggered inwardly. Luckily his parents could afford to educate him privately.

I used to work somewhere that did a fabric called primatex jonquil. It was a pale yellow colour. Does that help?

Just googled it and realised it is the name of a pale shade of yellow.

For a girl, nice. For a boy,

I think of daffodils.

Don't give it to a boy unless you're particularly heartless!

It makes me think of testicles. I wonder why.........

How do you pronounce it? Is it Jon-kill or Jon-quill? Either way I don't think I like it

I think it's a pretty girls name.

the latter, hocus.

No, there are plenty of other very nice flower names. Don't let someone else convince you of a name. You will live to regret it.

Thanks!

It doesn't trip off the tongue very well to me

Don't like it at all and it is bound to end up being shortened to something else (Jonny? Jonky?).

I'd rarely say a name was horrible but this really is. I bet for every 1 person that likes it you'd meet 35,000 that hate it.

I thought it was french for daffodil

i bloody KNEW it could be a boy's name. when that daft bbc woman came on here (jonquil panting fcs) i thought it was a bloke (because it was SUCH a sucky idea) and was roundly told off for getting it wrong.

anyhoo.

not a nice name imo. a bit wafty and pretentious and doesn't even make a nice noise, with 'ill' at the end.

I once painted my bedroom that shade. It is a yellow colour-very nice it was too.

I don't like it.
