I recently came across a little girl named Chardonnay.

Anyone else ever come across someone named after an alcholic beverage??

I know two girls named Brandy.
My best friend is really keen on naming her daughter (whenever she has one) Alize. =\
Im trying my hardest to get her to reconsider.

What's wrong with Elise/Elyse?

she could pronounce it basically the same..

[mizsfrankie.livejournal.com]

There isnt anything wrong with the name elise/elyse.
and maybe she could pronounce it like that if she wanted to, but my friend is dead set on Alize, "Al-Uh-Zay"
I just think names like that might give the impression that her mother was drunk on something when she was born.

I had a flatmate called Brandy.

Ha! Too late...

No joke, last week I typed an obituary for a 100-year-old woman named Margherita Martini. The kicker?

She and her husband owned and operated a tavern.

Yes!
Last year my huband had a girl named Shardanae in his class...so there you have an alcoholic beverage and kre8tivity

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I should add that it was a kindergarden class

[girlsteve.livejournal.com]

A girl named Bailey, and a girl on our estate who just had a little boy (Kyle) but would have named the baby Champagne if it'd been a girl.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Bailey.

euw, so tacky.

[heure-actuelle.livejournal.com]

it also means a bailiff, so i don't automatically associate it with alcohol.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Not exactly the nicest connotation either..

[heure-actuelle.livejournal.com]

no, but it's still ridiculous to assume someone who names their kid Bailey did so because of the alcohol. especially considering how the alcohol was named after a person in the first place...

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I didn't assume that at all, just reminds me of the alcohol.. therefore I think it's tacky..

[heure-actuelle.livejournal.com]

i can understand that. i think a lot of people first think of alcohol for like Bailey, or Jamison, etc. instead of a surname

[raptorgirl.livejournal.com]

My chiropractor named his newborn daughter Jamison. :grimace:

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

I've known a Brandy, Bailey, Jamison, Bud and Margarita. Ginny and Jack are close too.

I want to name my kid Merlot. Classy.

My sister in law's name is Margarita (she goes by Rita), and I know several women named Sherry. I also knew a guy named Tom Collins in college.

[xravenessx.livejournal.com]

i actually know a guy named Jack(full name Jackson) Daniels. His parents were mean. Morgan, Bailey, Margarita, Sherry.

[adamant-turtle.livejournal.com]

Back in my reporter days, I also met a man named Jack Daniels. He was pretty elderly, though.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I know a kid named Jack Daniels (no middle name). His parents are the epitome of rednecks, but they're good people for the most part. He loves his name, so I guess it doesn't matter too much.

[quite-rosie.livejournal.com]

A waitress named Tequila.

[onemorefool.livejournal.com]

I knew a girl in college names Hennessey. I think I saw her drink hennessey on occasion as well.

[politicking.livejournal.com]

i've come across: numerous Brandys, Tequila, Margarita, Morgan, Bailey, Alize... and a girl with the middle name Champane (YES spelled wrong, the mother didn't know how the eff to even SPELL it).

[minga13.livejournal.com]

Brandy, Bailey, Tequila, Midory, Sherry

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

Brandy and Sherry are common names. Margarita was a girl's name before it was a drink, but still. I've met at least one of each of those. Bailey is becoming popular, but I don't think most people associate it with the drink when naming their child, since it's also a common surname and becoming a common first name. I've heard Hennessey used, though I've never known one personally, but I went to school with a Jack Daniel Lastname (he went by J.D.).

[taxicaboots.livejournal.com]

I once met a woman who went by the nickname of Gin (her name was Virginia). That in itself isn't horrible, but then she decided to carry on that trend and actually named her daughter Tanqueray. I am not kidding.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I've known MANY Margaritas. lol

I have a good friend named Sherry. I also LOVE the name.


I also have a friend with the last name of Zima.

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

I went to high school with a girl named Kiante. She pronounced it kee-AHN-tay, but it was close enough. I also know a girl named Brandy.

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

My name is Brandi... unfortunately.

I recently met an unfortunate little girl named Alize. WTF, people?

[minga13.livejournal.com]

Biccardi

[juniorfan29.livejournal.com]

My cousin's name is Jack Daniel *last name*

[oni85.livejournal.com]

I knew a girl named Brandy Bong. no joke.

a girl named Kourvoisier (yes... sp i think) and a girl named Tequilla.

I went to a very odd high school

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I've known a few Brandys, but that's all I can think of.

This did remind me of something that happened every year in my high school Spanish classes, though. When the teacher would let us pick our own Spanish names, several girls would fight over who was going to be Margarita. Every year, the teacher would say, "Um, guys, you DO realize Margarita is a version of Daisy, right?"

There's a girl in my college called Sheri-Louise which is actually quite cute =)
