Right now, I have the biggest name-crush on [name]Magnolia[/name]!
I absolutely adore the name in every sense; it’s a floral name with a lacy, antique girly feel. Plus it has all these wonderful spunky names to choose from like [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Nola[/name], or [name]Noa[/name].
To me, it’s the perfect name.
However, everyone I’ve talked to in real life hates it! My mother asked why I would ever want to give t daughter such a horribly old name.
Would a [name]Magnolia[/name] be made fun of in a sea of [name]Ava[/name]'s and [name]Bella[/name]'s?
[name]Do[/name] you like the name?
[name]Do[/name] you think it would work well in the real world, on a real little girl?
In all honesty, she’ probably wouldn’t be made fun of as a child. It’s as a teen where she might get a few comments, but in reality it’s unlikely for her to be horrible teased.
That being said, I don’t like the name at all. All is get from it is melanoma, and just a general feeling of unpleseantness. I don’t see any appeal in the name at all, and I’d absolutely hate to be named [name]Magnolia[/name].
But yes, I think it can work in the real world.
I think it’s a lovely name, and I doubt she would get made fun of, especially if you went with one of the cute nicknames you mentioned. I do like the name, although it’s not really my taste - but I definitely see the appeal. I think it would be completely fine in the real world, especially because there are so many nicknames.
When I hear the name, I think of a faded Southern belle. With all the flower names coming into fashion (poppy, lily, rose), it does seem that such a name might have a place thematically if nothing else. I don’t know that a [name]Magnolia[/name] would face ridicule, but as with any uncommon name, I’m sure she’d face some questions about how she got that name. I’m not a fan of the name, but I do think the nicknames you mentioned are sweet. (I have a few names I love, in part, because of the nicknames…[name]Eleanor[/name] can be [name]Ella[/name], [name]Ellie[/name], or [name]Nora[/name], while [name]Margaret[/name] can be [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Meg[/name], or [name]Daisy[/name].) In some ways, it’s hard for me to imagine [name]Magnolia[/name] on a little girl, but if [name]Primrose[/name] can draw attention after being featured in The Hunger Games, I don’t see why [name]Magnolia[/name] couldn’t become recognized as a suitable name if it were given to a book character or a celebrity’s child or something of the sort. [name]Magnolia[/name] is definitely not the worst name I’ve ever heard, and I think if I had seen it used before, I’d probably welcome it with open arms. I like that [name]Magnolia[/name] is not often used as a name but it is a familiar, and it fits into the flower/nature name theme.
I think [name]Magnolia[/name] is completely adorable and I would use it for myself, if I ever have another little girl!! I think it’s sweet and lacy looking and I just love it! I don’t really see a little girl getting teased for this name, but you never know. Sometimes kids are just cruel like that. I say, if you like it, go for it!
I’m mostly worried about how [name]Magnolia[/name] would go over during her teen years. I’ve always wished for a unique name, but those who I’ve talked to with names that aren’t the norm have often wished for a more normal name.
I’m worried a potential daughter would hate to be named [name]Magnolia[/name], and it would break my heart if my child hated their name.
I like [name]Magnolia[/name] a lot, it’s a recent GP:) I’ve never liked my name either, and it was no 1 the year I was born. You can never now how a child will feel about his/her name in the future anyway. [name]Magnolia[/name] is very pretty. I like [name]Millie[/name] as a nn, even if that might be a bit of a stretch.
