Girls names?

I can’t believe I’m resorting to asking on here, but Mrs F and I can’t settle on a name for Funk Mk2 and D day is fast approaching. Hit me with your suggestions STW so that we can have a good laugh or maybe even settle on a name.

Something classy, with an apostrophe.

D’mentia, that sort of thing?

*not original, but I remember laughing at the last thread on here about this!

Louise.

D’onna.

My eldest girl is Rowan. Always happy with that choice

would that be D’onna K’ebab?

I reckon that Mavis, Maureen & Edna are due for a comeback.
or Polly Esther.

Dave

Bob

Rowan is a boys name is it not? I know a chap named Rowan. Maybe he has a girls name… unless he is a girl?

Funkette

Mine are Amelia and Charlotte.

(I’m aware Amelia is one of the most popular names at the moment – but it wasn’t 10 1/2 years ago)

I wanted names that would work in whatever path they take in life, whether they end up as surgeons, tree surgeons or hairdressers.

Amelia has always been Millie to us, but can be Amelia or Amy if she chooses, Charlotte can use Charlie or Lottie if it works for her.

My sister-in-law registered her second boy as Billy, and could not understand why we suggested that William might give him more options..

Go with your heart, but try and imagine a person with that name either cutting your hair, or cutting you open..

I’m bald and now thinking of serial killer names.

Rowan’s a boys or girls name:

We have a name we really like, but sadly my daughter was born with a penis and some balls, so you can’t have it, in case my potential son is born with girls bits.

The thing with these threads is they just epitomise how personal names are. You’ll get nothing new, you’ll snigger at some choices, and roll your eyes at others.

Personally I like ‘normal’ names, but not mega common, nothing too trendy that’ll ‘date’ . Ellie’s seem to be everywhere. Lily too common. Matilda’s nice. Megan. Freya.

Nothing asexual (Sam, Chris, Charlie), and definitely nothing which people will overwhelmingly assume is a boy (Rowan).

And no diminutives.

It Charles or Charlotte, not Charlie.
Charlie is what you call a Yorkshire Terrier.

That’s what I’m hoping for. A bit of light relief, a laugh and just maybe some names to add to the list.

It Charles, not Charlie.

If I were Victorian I might agree. As long as it’s not a ridiculous spelling and is actually a name bring it on 😉

Juliana or Liv

Sesimilla is a nice name for a girl.

Semolina?

There seems to be an abundance of girls whose parents liked red at my kids school.

Ruby, Scarlett, Rose.

You could have a look in B&Q at the colour charts and see if you can find something suitable.

Or Mary Jane unless that’s not a typo you’ve made.

Valspar it is!

I always liked Anastasia before the pop singer of the same name came along and ruined it.

What’s your surname?

Nigella of course

Marples – so rules out anything beginning with M. Bring on the detective jokes

We chose Maisie – we were watching Game of Thrones when the wife was pregnant. Ayra was the best character that series and we joked about naming her Ayra but only Americans do that sort of thing and the idea was ghastly. We found out her real name and we both liked it immediately.

So she’s not named after anyone, we just wanted a name we didn’t know anyone who already had and we found Maisie by mistake joking about naming her after a TV character.

You’re pigeonholing your children into a gender based solely on what bits they have. Hence I suggest the following which will allow them to make their own minds up later:
Leslie
Lindsay
Francis
Robin

The name everybody apart from my mum uses for me is asexual, which can sometimes result in amusing assumptions. For added amusement, one of the woman at an activity I regularly do goes by the same name as me. It’s never been a problem that I can remember though – I got enough flak from the cool kids at school, but never for my name.

Do you have an old girlfriend you are particularly fond of you could name her after.

I grew up with “that’s a girls name” too aracer.

Maisie is short for Margaret, something to be aware of…..
🙂

Or name her after someone you’ve come across from the telly.
Ulrika’s nice.

Peggy is better.

Starts with M so it’s a no anyway. We’ve already got a middle name as it’s a family tradition on Mrs F’s mums side.

But still a derivative of Margaret.

Might as well just call her Lucifer.

Julliette is what I’d like my next daughter to be called- don’t know the sex yet but find out soon, if it’s a boy… probably not that. I also have a M surname. It’s a bad one to find names that don’t sound odd too.

Sadly Mrs Lex vetoed Daphne, despite it being a homage to Tony Curtis’ character and one of the Scooby Doo team, so went with Anastasia for #2 daughter. She now gets associated with the Russian contingent at her school.

Lucinda.

Lucinda Marples.

This makes me chuckle but I can’t adequately explain why?

Is Kylie no longer fashionable?

Doris then.

My daughter is callled Thomasin, nice name I think

but also liked Tess (would have been named Theresa but shortened to Tess).

Tess would have gone to hold number two, but that was a boy!

Not in my house it isn’t! 😉

Someone once asked me “What’s Maisie short for?” I said “because she’s 3”.

Jacquie – it’s died out. Less than three registered each year according to the above.

Generally;
At least two syllables
Must pass the Tesco/Sainsbury/Waitrose/Fortnum & Mason shout out loud test
Nothing that has trended from nowhere in the past ten years
Obvious spelling is helpful in the internet-age

Imogen Grace, was going to be ours. Until we had boys.
