Apricot 🍊

Girl Names

Does this work as a name?

First or middle?

[name_f]Girl[/name_f] or pet?

I think I would never be brave enough to use it as a first, but I think it is cute as a middle and maybe for a cat as well.

Kind of close to [name_f]April[/name_f], I guess.

I could see it being a middle. But it doesnt work for me as a first. It feels really cutesy for some reason thay I cant explain.

However I do have [name_u]Kyo[/name_u] & [name_f]Anzu[/name_f] on my list which mean apricot

I wouldn’t at all, personally.

I enjoy many word names and used to adore [name_f]Peach[/name_f] for a girl (still do in theory) but… I do think actually using a fruit name is a bit silly, especially as a first. It’s perfect for a cat though :heart_eyes:

5

I much prefer it to [name_f]April[/name_f].

Definitely works for a pet. Wouldnt use it for a human. It isnt normalised to a level strong enough that I wouldnt be afraid of teasing etc

7

Very cute for a pet. Not my thing for a human name but I could get on board with it in the middle.

For a pet, for a fun NB combo, for a character and maybe for a middle, sure, I think it could work. Not sure I can see it on a real life baby though - maybe that’s because my grandad jokingly called them monkey beds once (as in cots for apes) and now those sounds stand out to me :grin: this is a personal thing though so :person_shrugging:

I don’t like fruit names for humans. [name_f]Flower[/name_f] and nature names are lovely, but not fruit. I just had a silly thought of meeting a girl called [name_f]Banana[/name_f]! :sweat_smile:
But then you never know!

I think [name_f]Apricot[/name_f] has a really fun summery feel and works as a fun spunky middle name for something like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] would be sweet. I wouldn’t have as a first name though I just can’t picture [name_f]Apricot[/name_f] upfront. Regarding [name_f]April[/name_f] I prefer [name_f]April[/name_f] to [name_f]Apricot[/name_f] I’ve just always loved [name_f]April[/name_f].

I like it as a pet name, and maybe as a middle name for a human. I wouldn’t use it as a first name, partially because no one can agree on whether to say app-rih-cot or ape-rih-cot.
