Thoughts on Mahogany as a name?

What are your honest thoughts on [name_f]Mahogany[/name_f] as a name?

Honestly, I cannot see this working well. What about [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_u]Oakley[/name_u], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_u]Sequoia[/name_u]…

I saw this name on a name tag at a grocery store. I thought it was an interesting name, but I’m not a huge fan.

It’s my name, I’m not super in love with it, but I don’t dislike it or anything. I guess it’s just my name, I’ve only gotten positive reactions. But the way people will spell it, it’s amazing, nobody ever gets it right. :smiley: Guess that wasn’t really helpful, but just my two cents. It’s actually double barreled on my birth certificate M@h0g@ny-Gw#n.

I agree that is definitely an interesting name. I like it, although I’m not sure I would personally consider it. I love the idea of [name_f]May[/name_f] as a nn.

It’s interesting… I suppose it’s no different from [name_u]Oak[/name_u], [name_u]Linden[/name_u] or Wiliow, though the word itself feels much heavier and more “out there”. It’s a shame the stress is on the “hog” syllable, too.

It’s interesting, but I can’t see it working despite similar names being popular. I think it’d be a lovely unexpected middle name. I don’t hate it, but I personally wouldn’t use it. When I first heard my favourite name, [name_f]Antigone[/name_f], [name_f]Mahogany[/name_f] was my first thought.

Not a fan.

I find it really appealing; my only caution is the emphasis on Hog; some unpleasantness could come from that.

Its a little out there, but isn’t too different to some of the other growing names right now

I wouldn’t consider it myself, but I could see it working.

I knew a girl named [name_f]Mahogany[/name_f] at my daycare when I was a toddler. Never seemed weird to me at the time, though definitely a mouthful to say. I used to call her “Hogany” because I couldn’t get out all the syllables. So I definitely think it could work, but you’d need a nickname for when she was little. :slight_smile: Reminds me of [name_f]Ebony[/name_f].

My first thought was “No, tacky.” I really apologise if that sounds harsh, but it does sound tacky to me, sorry!

Aye… know a wee lass about 13 years old named [name_f]Mahogany[/name_f], poor thing.
I don’t know where you live but I’m currently living in [name_u]America[/name_u] and she gets teased so much that she’s asked her mother to change her name. She goes by [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] now. She once broke down in my lap and cried for hours telling me how people call her Hog, Ho, Pig, Hogie, Hulk [name_m]Hogan[/name_m], Ma Ho (like My Ho, kids would shout to her in the hallways “what up my ho”

Very nasty teasing potential.
