Opinions?

[arsefire23.livejournal.com]

Can I ask your opinions on two names? I'm someone who always wanted normal names for my kids, but I'm stuck on two names right now that are a bit out of the norm.

Last name is Whittaker.

For a boy: Jareth

For a girl: Tuesday

Jareth was jokingly suggested by a friend, but when I saw it written out, I liked it, and so did my husband. I KNOW it's the name of David Bowie's character in Labyrinth. But, it looked close enough to Jared that I thought we might get away with it.

Tuesday is a name that my husband ALWAYS wanted for a baby girl. He didn't use it for his first daughter, and initially I was against it because I just assumed she'd be teased, but now, I'm actually really starting to like it.

So, thoughts, please. I'd like to know if I'm being totally nuts and unfair to my future child. (We find out in 4 weeks if it's a boy or girl).

Jareth is ok and I think it would be fine/not too different, plus it works with your surname. It's not my 'cup of tea', but I don't dislike it.

Tuesday, on the other hand, I personally dislike, probably because I dislike all day-of-the-week/month names. That being said, it's not horrible and, objectively, I think it's fine and works well with your surname. Would you have a nn for her? If so, what would you use (out of interest, as I can't think of any nn for Tuesday, haha)?

Congratulations, btw. :)

Probably no nickname for Tuesday, but we were thinking of Nicole as a middle name, so if she doesn't want to use Tuesday she would have a strong middle name that she could go by.
