I really love anything Disney and was wondering if it would be terrible to name A girl Disney. I mean i know it unique but i can’t see how other kids can make fun or why she would hat it. There are kids out there named after presidents, states, Months, and all sorts of things. So thought? Can you think of a way to make fun of the Name? Thanks for your help
The problem with Disney as a first name is that it is a hard name to grow into. It might be cute on a little girl, but on a grown woman?
She might get called Disney [name]Princess[/name], or boys might make jokes that they want to be “in” Disney because it is the happiest place on earth. etc
So how about as a middle name?
I would say as a first name, absolutely not.
As a middle name, I don’t like it, but I think you could get away with it if you’re extremely passionate about it. [name]Bear[/name] in mind that your child might dislike Disney as much as you like it. If you want to express you great love for something I think it’s a better idea to get a tattoo.
No, not OK at all. Your child will grow up and have to function in the world as an adult. Go right and give her a legit name FROM Disney, but naming her Disney is a really, really terrible idea. ([name]Aurora[/name]? [name]Alice[/name]? [name]Ariel[/name]? [name]Willow[/name]? [name]Jasmine[/name]?)
I think it’s a bit too much. If you love Disney, what about about something subtle? I can’t think of any specific examples, but Disney isn’t a grown woman’s name. Expand on it- what is it you like about Disney? The magic, the wonder of childhood? The classic fairytales? [name]How[/name] about names that come from those notions instead? Disney is just too… obvious, and not very clever. Sorry if that sounds harsh but i think your future teenage daughter would appreciate not being named Disney.
Absolutely not. [name]Just[/name] terrible. Sorry
Horrible. Very, very bad.
I second this and the possibility that boys will make jokes saying they want to be ‘in’ Disney because its the happiest place on earth.
That is the first place my mind went to. I work with middle school / high school kids and the things these kids come up with…plus I just can’t imagine going to work and introducing myself as Disney without blushing, I would be pretty embarrassed.
Personally, I wouldn’t do it. It just sound like it would be a terrible fad name. I think there are a lot of REAL names out there that are still unique and won’t be a potential name that could get your kid bullied.
She would have to brace herself for surprised and disbelieving reactions every time she told someone her name. In the teasing department, in additoin to what’s been mentioned already, I can see her being nicknamed Diz/Dizzy. She would almost certainly hate her name.
I am not an expert in this at all, but Disney scares me the way that they go after people who use their images without permission or show their films in public places. Similar to the way that [name]Apple[/name] sued [name]Gwyneth[/name] Paltrow for naming her daughter [name]Apple[/name], I would be worried about legal action from Disney if your daughter ever comes into contact with anyone with ties to the corporation. Then again maybe I’m just paranoid.
I also think its really tacky, like naming your child Adidas or Versace. I would try to find another name.
The woman who runs this blog is named Disney. She seems completely well adjusted.
I say pick your fav Disney character and name her that.
And the fact that [name]Walt[/name] Disney was anti-Semitic…
Disney feels very cheesy to me. I’d much rather use a Disney character’s name than actual Disney. I guess I could see her being called Ditzy Disney… it just doesn’t feel pretty and feminine to me like all of the Disney names do.
Yeah and [name]Condoleezza[/name] [name]Rice[/name] managed to be a successful politician with a crap name, there’s always the exception to the rule, but 9 times out of 10 - bad, bad, bad idea.
Disney seems a ridiculous enough name to me that I’m assuming OP is a troll.
Disney just screams commercialism to me. It would be like naming your kid after a product, which is a far cry from a month, a flower, etc.
ETA: I kind of thought so too, cosmonaut. Acting a little too innocent of the potential problems. But I bit anyway.
