I'm assuming they aren't Scottish, as Logan is generally a male name and surname, and a very popular one at that. Calling a girl Logan seems as odd as calling a boy Elizabeth tbh.PocusHocus wrote:Has she mentioned anything about the name Logan? I’ve know a girl with that name and quite liked it on her.

Yeah, using Scottish boys names and surnames for girls first names seems to be an American disease.PocusHocus wrote:i live in the states and it’s not that weird here, lol.

What about 'Dani' which can be used for boy or girl -Danielle/Daniel or Reilly? I just think she is going to go down the same road as her sister with something like Luca!

Laura/Lauren maybe? Don't know if it's a common name in the UK. Get she wants to go for uncommon, having an uncommon (in the country you live in anyway) name is great, but I can't imagine they'd go for something real odd...

Both are very, very common here, and Fleur's pretty set on something unusualsummertje wrote:Laura/Lauren maybe? Don't know if it's a common name in the UK.

Why do you think I said it means "barker" in Russian and "poor dog"? Laika is a good name for a dog, not so much a baby. It's not unpleasant sounding.adven wrote:dew wrote: LaikaLaika? ffs, it was the name of the dog that was one of the first animals the former Soviet Union sent up into space!!!dew wrote:Fleur and Mike did mention Logan in the baby name video, but they seemed to imply anything in the video wouldn't be used for the baby's name.PocusHocus wrote:Has she mentioned anything about the name Logan?

And Laika is too creative for Fleur, I think. It also literally means "barker" in Russian and always makes me sad. Poor dog.

Re: FleurdeSnore 2017 - General thread part 17
It doesn't just mean "barker" it is a name for dog breeds. So calling your kid "Laika" is the same as calling them Deerhound or something similar.
There seems to be people falling into the trap of thinking foreign names mean something different, or can be appropriated. Such as calling your daughter a Scottish male name (literally son of Kenneth in the case of girls being called McKenzie) or thinking a cute sounding Russian word means something feminine rather than it being used to describe hunting dog breeds.
Also my comment seems to have been misread, I was agreeing with you and being sarcastic that anyone would think Laika is a cute name for a baby girl,

Re: FleurdeSnore 2017 - General thread part 17
Names just don't hold such deep meaning in the US and I imagine the UK and many other places. We go by what sounds good and often what's popular. It's not "cultural appropriation" to name a baby McKenzie. No one is being disrespected, harmed, or minimized by the choice of that name, and by that token, other names like Douglas (classic) or Jackson (trendy) were also originally Scottish surnames. Many, many common English first names were originally Greek or Hebrew; I find it hard to claim that Elias, Levi, and Benjamin are "problematic."adven wrote:There seems to be people falling into the trap of thinking foreign names mean something different, or can be appropriated.

Re: FleurdeSnore 2017 - General thread part 17
Are people really debating names as culture appropriation?
Re: FleurdeSnore 2017 - General thread part 17
Yes, because people keep bringing it up?likefrylikefry wrote:Are people really debating names as culture appropriation?
Anywayyyy, back on-topic, I am very curious to know what Fleur ends up choosing. I still can't get over her niece being named "Luca Luna," which seems like a name that Fleur would've chosen had her sister not.

Jemima also means dove.
Alternatively, she could just use Dove.

She hasn't announced the due date. She said it was going to be a Christmas or New Year's baby but probably a New Year's.qwerty888 wrote:When is she due? (I haven’t been following her videos, except for that baby name one )
Re: FleurdeSnore 2017 - General thread part 17
Agreed, it's boring as hell discussing whether a woman is going to call her kid Dove, Sausage dog, Laika and so on. If anything it highlights just how little in substance her content is. Fleur doesn't strike me as a person who would want to be defined by her pregnancy and children either, so the discussion is even more redundant and generalised.MoanyMinnie wrote:Can your make an announcement when you're done with discussing baby names...

Why use •that• much time on speculating on a name?
It will be, what it will be regardless.
Off to watch her favourites to see what's good
