Cherry? or has pregnancy addled my brain!

Hi There

Just wondering what people think of the name Cherry?

Its likely that the little one with be a lil ginger so wanted something to reflect that (liked Rosie but been put off)

Me and my DP like it but whats your first thoughts?

How about Cherie? You could use Cherry as a nn.

Cherry not awful, but not to my personal taste.

my primary school PE teacher was called Cherry. she smoked 40-a-day and sounded like it, and looked like (perhaps was) a bizarre 1970's transvestite. And for that reason, i'm not a fan! But were that not the case, i think i'd quite like it.

At the risk of sounding mean, I think that hormones have addled your brain. Name for a pet, yes. Child, not so much.

No, I really don't think you should. Lovely for a nn though!

I used to love this name in the 1980s. It seemed really glamorous, along with the similar names - Cheryl, Shereen, Cherie etc.

However, speaking as a person with red hair, I'd have hated to have a 'red' name.

Ha ha. A few days before I was due I became convinced about Cherry as a middle name. Was absolutely sure it was to be the name. It isn't. But it's a lovely word.

LOL Thought this might be the case! Damn my silly brain! Was so easy with DD1 had a name picked out forever!!

This is a name for a hamster not a baby.....

We have a Cherith, we do sometimes call her Cherry, which I think is nice within the family. When she goes to school etc she will be introduced as Cherith. Might end up as Cherry anyway!

I have a friend called Cherry. I think it's lovely, and she carries it off beautifully.

addled

don't like
sounds v cack in regional accents

cherrehh

cherroi

would that be an issue?

I used to work with a Cherry. Boy was she a pisshead

I remember her buying coloured candles once & being very, very pissed off when they all burned with the same colour flame

She wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Pregnancy has addled your brain. You don't know she'll be ginger and if she is she may not thank you for a red themed name. and Cherry sounds like a stripper name.

I've got a very posh and proper aunt called Cherry. I've always quite liked the name

i like it.

Urgh no. Where I'm from people use cherry as a word for virginity.

VERY good point pfish.

PMSL at 'regional accents' comment

Cherry isn't good.

I love Cherry. I would have considered it for my dd if my surname were not what it is.

It's just horrible. Sorry.

you see, i would think scarlett is more tarty as it reminds me of 'scarlet woman'. etc.
