Naming a girl PEACH!?

I just found out an old acquaintance of mine is pregnant with a little girl. She is naming her “[name_f]Peach[/name_f]”.

What do you think of [name_f]Peach[/name_f]?

Ack, I personally just think it reminds me of a stripper or something… I kinda cringe thinking in my head about yelling “[name_f]Peach[/name_f]” on the playground or thinking about a future.

I’m not sure about the middle but I believe her full name will be “[name_f]Peach[/name_f] K1dd” (replace 1 with I)

I miss the days when parents used to just call their children by cutesy, informal nicknames and didn’t actually put those names on birth certificates.

Me too. Hate names like [name_f]Peach[/name_f], [name_f]Princess[/name_f], [name_f]Star[/name_f], and every other name that should be a family nickname.

[name_f]Peach[/name_f] reminds me a lot of [name_f]Peaches[/name_f] Geldof, [name_m]Bob[/name_m] Geldofs daughter. Basically the whole world makes fun of her name. But probably not as bad as [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] Paltrows daughter [name_f]Apple[/name_f].
What is it these days with fruit names?

I agree with rlinden.

[name_f]Peach[/name_f] K1dd? [name_f]Peach[/name_f] Kid? I sincerely hope she changes her mind.

Quite honestly, [name_f]Peaches[/name_f] is my guilty pleasure name. Would I ever use it? That answer is a resounding no as she will probably never be taken seriously in her life.
I was thinking of using [name_f]Peaches[/name_f] or [name_f]Posy[/name_f] as a nickname for a name beginning with P though.

[name_f]Peach[/name_f]/[name_f]Peaches[/name_f] always seems like a posh British name to me. I can easily picture it on a little English girl, but i can’t picture it on an American girl.

I have to be honest, I kind of like it. Then again, I kind of liked [name_f]Apple[/name_f]. I would think of a sweet, delicate little girl. But only as a nickname. It doesn’t matter what her name is anyways, I’d call her peaches

I agree, [name_f]Peach[/name_f] is a super cute nickname, just like Pumpkin and Sweetpea.

I think it’s an awful name to put on a birth certificate. I can’t imagine having a name like [name_f]Peach[/name_f] as an adult.

NICKNAME is all I can say. It’s quite sweet but I would hate to go into a job interview and say, "Hello, my names peaches. "

Naming a girl [name_f]Peach[/name_f] is ridiculous (the sexual connotations in the word completely disqualifies it as usable in my opinion). Naming her [name_f]Peach[/name_f] Kid is really downright cruel. The name isn’t cool even without the surname. I’m hope she reconsiders her choice.

Ugh, [name_f]Peach[/name_f] is a bit too much. [name_f]Peaches[/name_f] is not that bad compared to [name_f]Peach[/name_f] which sounds like a boy name to me besides being actual food.

Same here.

I think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] would be a really cute way to get to the nickname [name_f]Peach[/name_f] ([name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Peach[/name_f] –> [name_f]Peach[/name_f]).

I have to be honest. It is not a name I think when she gets to be a teenager she would want to have. [name_m]How[/name_m] about using it as a middle name if you really like it.

Well isn’t that just Peachy!

Peachy [name_m]Keen[/name_m]!

Isn’t she just a peach!

The archaic slang is annoying, but current Freudian slang is just horrendous. UrbanDictionary.com if you ever want to be informed of every disgusting innuendo that exists. Yikes.

I hope it’s a “bump name joke.” Like my mom’s friend, who years ago told everyone that she was naming her baby “[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Esther[/name_f]” just because she was so sick of being harassed about the name.

I actually kind of like [name_f]Peach[/name_f]. [name_m]How[/name_m] is it different from [name_f]Olive[/name_f] or [name_f]Apple[/name_f]? The ‘stripper name’ thing doesn’t suffice since strippers often have normal names like [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] or [name_u]Madison[/name_u]. People can put anything on UrbanDictionary so take those definitions with a grain of salt. Also, lots of normal names have sexual innuendo, including [name_f]Georgia[/name_f].

I don’t know any strippers. So what they’re actually named and what the stereotype is must be different.

It’s not my child, and I wouldn’t even tell the woman that I don’t like her choice. I just wanted others input. I wouldn’t use [name_f]Olive[/name_f] or [name_f]Apple[/name_f] or any other food name. Rigatoni anyone? Quinoa! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] hip! :slight_smile: Kidding, to each their own! I have no problem with it, just wouldn’t want it to be my name etc.

If you google “peach slang”, there are a lot more sources for it.

Oh dear. Poor child.

I don’t mind [name_f]Peach[/name_f]. I presume K1dd was a joke.
