‘I want to name my daughter an inappropriate name - people say she'll be bullied’

When is a name too unique?

A woman recently turned to Mumsnet to look for suggestions when it came to her baby’s future name. She revealed she loves the name “Lovey,” but is worried it might be unprofessional when her daughter is older.

She wrote: “We LOVE the name Lovey for a little girl, but obviously for more professional circumstances/later life it wouldn't be appropriate.”

She asked for ideas of a longer name that Lovey could be a nickname for. Some people replied with real advice and others criticized the name.

A commenter suggested Valentina, making a connection between Valentines and Love.

One said: “You could call her anything at all and just use Lovey the same way you'd use Honey or Sweetheart.”

Another asked: “Do you not like your unborn child? Do you have any idea how much a child called Lovey will get teased at school? Grow up.”

Some suggested the name “Loveday,” but in the replies, people even thought this name would get the child bullied.

“Lovey? Loveday?! F------ hell, this is a person not a pet bird.”
