Girl Name

[xokatietatie]

I'm not even 7 weeks yet, but I am someone who worries about names. I absolutely adore my great grandmother's name. She was one of the greatest women who ever lived and one of my role models. I've always thought her name was beautiful. However, when I mentioned it to a good friend I began to question whether it would be a good choice or not. As soon as the name came out of my mouth, the look on her face said it all! She clearly didn't like it. So, what do you all think about the name Birdella? This name reminds me of my great-grandmother, and brings me such joy. People would sometimes call her Bird or Birdie, which I also love. I don't want to use a name people are going to think is terrible though. Do you think it is a name people would make fun of?

I think that's a name that kids will most likely make fun of maybe make it the middle name

There is not another name we agree on. I suggested Ruby, Stella and Violet. DH shot down all of those. DS1 mentioned Margaret, which I like, but DH shot it down too. The only name he seemed to like besides Birdella was Caroline. I don't dislike that name, but I don't want it shorted to Carol, Carrie or Cara.

I think it's quite unique and could be cute, however, I do think its a name that wll be made fun of or she will be called bird or birdie. I think birdie is a cute nickname though. I agree with maybe middle name

I think Birdie is cute, but Birdella is.... different. I think it would probably be made fun of. Unfortunately, lots of the older names don't hold up these days.

You still have plenty of time

I know a little girl called Caroline, and her family doesn't shorten it. What about Maggie? It is a cute nickname for Margaret.

I think ultimately if you love then you should use it... When I was preg with ds3 I was dead set on naming him Ezra and literally every one hated it even DH and his name Is Ezra and I couldn't be happier with my desicion

I agree, I don't think that Birdella would be very well received by children, who can be mean and unthoughtful. I love the names Violet, Ruby and Stella though. Perhaps choose one of those and your darling hubby can just get over it. He will eventually come around I think to anything you want if you are set on it. Unless he really doesn't like it. But it is up to you, if you really want Birdella then go ahead with it.
